Nice one again! Especially the locking mechanism for the rear outriggers are cool. Impressive also how you managed to get kind of clean colour for cab, main structure and boom :-)

*hypedaboutnewcontest* When can we expect details @Jim? :-)

Ah ok, thanks guys. Was worried we are missing out on something that is not a car :D

Just looked up Promobricks and they don't even list the 42238 Ducati anymore... hast the bike been delayed to 2027?

Hmm then you need a set with many suspension components... which completely limits the selection again. Not a good idea in my opinion. Completely hinders good ideas for new solutions. Would also lead to massive confusion and arguing I guess. How different is different...?

I am torn between "Lego just repeats cars over and over and over again, even for the anniversary" and "Maybe 2026 was so car-heavy cause they saved all the good technic models for the anniversary...?"

The monster truck contest with the different kinds of tractor tires would be cool! This really is a contest heavily relying on the suspension design, which is a thing we didn't really enforce in any contest I believe. :-) And as said, it will also be a contest for both beginners and pros as you can choose your tire size and therefor model size. I don't know if it's possible, but maybe we could even vote for 3 different categories according to size? Not sure if it's a good idea... Just because mostly bigger models got more votes when there was no size restriction... The 3 categories are: Small (56 x 26) Medium (81 x 35) Big (107x44R) *Edit: MOCs of both real machines and also imaginary ones should be allowed. Electronics are allowed in the "big" category.

"I am the mighty Djinn, I'll grant you 3 wishes! You may have Gold, Wisdom or Immortality!" "How about a 4L beam?" "A... a what?" "A 4L technic beam. And make it with the number 50 on it."

Next to the Unimog, this was the only model which might be a buy with discount. According to StoneWars, this model will release in August. @Auroralampinen: Can you maybe edit the list on first page and add the release dates? I also think the 42230 and 42237 can be deleted, at least for this year.

Interesting idea for a leveling/limitation... as this would mean using the medium tractor tires. But as most cars are sports cars and the same size it would highly likely result in kind of similar builds... Also when we go with all tire sizes, more people would participate and try their luck with smaller builds :-)

I actually like this idea a lot! We could even allow the newer and the upcoming 2026 chevron tires from city:

@Divitis and @2GodBDGlory: This could be a chance to build your CVT ;-)

Wait: "Freewheel mechanism"? This could be interesting!

Dear Santa: Can the lead designer for Lego city pwease switch to Technic...?

With all these models for the car-transporter-gang (@Michael217 Put together this nice overview) ; maybe we can do a contest with: Build a B-model out of one of the these cars with only the available parts.
