Technicallism

I believe most of the themes for 1HY 2022 will be announced after the annual major sales event such as 11.11, black friday, cyber monday etc…. because they don’t want people hold back to spend on old sets after saw the coming new release 😂 Anyway, happy shopping….

At least 1-December i think… Anyway, a few days different is nothing for me, important is the set must be look great…

Next week look legit. Last year, we got it on 18-November, and normally most of retailer start to receive 1H21 sets from early December. From the previous years, I remember early December start to saw people posting on instagram or Fb that they getting or discovered the set on shelves, regularly this happened at Walmart… Target…

That’s the point! I still thinking we need to wait until February to get the reveal of 42130 which launching March-2021. But now, nothing happier than we should see it before 12-December. Standbys the popcorn!

When we saw the new smaller Gear Rack ?x? Curved, immediately make me think of some rotating pick/hoist mechanisms if it gonna use in some 2HY set? Maybe a crane arm ?

Scania have plenty of truck… It’s not must be a tow truck…. An upgrade version of 8258 crane truck with Fully Remote in Control+ system is really something we missing now this one for an example: https://thelegocarblog.com/2016/02/17/scania-g480-crane-truck-picture-special/screen-shot-2016-02-16-at-23-26-05/ Actually i just trying to say that it’s happy to see TLG are expanding their license set range to more brand, instead of what we often see the Volvo, Mercedes…. or some brand that already appear in other theme like Ford, BMW…. Etc Ducati, CAT, Liebherr are the example of good effort

but this 49.53 tyre cannot make truck with flagship scale…. For instance, truck like the 42043, 8285, 8258….. I always have a thought, since Scania are belongs to VW group, we may have chance to see a complicated flagship Scania truck future….

I like most of technic set that using 62.4 tyre… This tyre just look perfectly well for truck in flagship scale… perhaps we may see 1 in 2HY wave…

It’s been quite awhile we getting set with 62.4 tyre, since 42079 at 2018. 62.4 tyre was my top favorite. Hopefully come back on 2022…

I’d talked about this Bentley Continental GT quite very early before for the possible of this year UCS since not much brand left in VW group where same level with the previous 3 brands.

Last year, we get official announcement/photos of the 1HY wave on 18-November. So I don’t think we will get to see any official photo before this date. Just patiently wait for another 3 weeks.

May be a non-licensed set

I update more detail info about the lineup: 1-Jan-2022 wave: 42127 - Batman Batmobile, 1360pcs, €99.99 42132 - Chopper, 163pcs, €9.99 42134 - Monster Jam Megalodon, 260pcs, €19.99 42135 - Monster Jam El Toro Loco, 247pcs, €19.99 42136 - ??John Deer R9??, ???pcs, €29.99?? 42137 - Formula E Porsche 99X Electric, 422pcs, €49.99 42138 - Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, 544pcs, €49.99 1-Mar-2022 wave: 42130 - BMW M1000 RR K66 (18+), 1922pcs, €199.99 42133 - Telehandler, 143pcs, €9.99 42139 - All-Terrain Vehicle, 764pcs, €74.99 42140 - App-controlled Transformation Car, 772pcs, €129.99 42141 - Formula 1 Car (18+), 1431pcs, €179.99

Again, it’s UCS series so it might be like the 1:8 supercar, exclusive lego store have earlier sale than normal open-trade toy shop. 1-March may just for normal launch and lego exclusive launch on Jan-2022 We Shall see, TLG like to give surprise now

A 1:5 scale of Motorcycle is about 40cm length. Bigger than all the previous motorcycles sets. Looking forward for this one and since this is set number 42130 which is within 2021 2HY set numbering, I reckon ot might have earlier launch date for some region and so have early announcement like the Batmobile. Finally, a Formula 1 car since the 42000 on 2013.

I couldn’t imagine how a motorcycle to make at 1922 pieces. 42130 - BMW M1000 RR K66 An UCS 1:8 motorcycle???!!!

The release date for this Batmobile 42127 is 1-Nov-2021 in US/Mex/Cad aka North America. For the rest of regions (Europe/Asia etc..) is 1-Jan-2022. I think that’s the reason why the set number is within the range of 2021 2HY sets (42126 to 42131). In this case, similar case may happened in 42130 too…. Maybe December 2021 we will have another set for this 42130. Shall wait until next month to see any surprise announcement.

Ok, look like the revised list are true. The batman batmobile 42127 has the official photo https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxW_XTJvM0/?utm_medium=copy_link

But sadly, the fact is that TLG doesn’t look like to change the fundamentals of this UCS series for Technic line. We often think about our own wish, but there is many aspect that TLG need to consider before brainstorming a model or a successor model. Most likely it will still from VW group brand, I guess they have some commitments in between. Just take an example at creator expert T1 Camper van, on shelves for nearly 10 years (probably one of the longest shelf life model in history) before retired for the successor T2 Camper Van, imagine how close the relationship between TLG & VW group to keep their own brand on shelve & in lego store. It’s still too early to talk about what it is until 2022, but I’m happy if they make Bentley Continental GT in LBG color. :)

Well, even the 2nd list most likely certain, I still don’t think a backhoe on 2022 flagship. Since TLG have licensing with VW group, a Scania Crane Truck come before a backhoe doesn’t sound even better?! 😂

The 42127 Batmobile was said rumoured this car But isn’t something weird that a Technic batmobile? Suppose in Lego DC Comic line not Technic? Somemore there are already 2 batmobiles launching soon this October & November

Those so called ‘leaks’ might be actually a market strategy to test the response and origin from TLG marketing team 😂

Lol… abit confusing now as I saw another version of list for 1HY 2022 by jjpsleaksite. Totally different from the first version i saw from reddit. 42127 - Batmobile, $99.99 42130 - TBA (18+), $199.99 42132 - “Chopper”, $9.99 42133 - Telescopic Handler, $9.99 42134 - Monster Jam Megalodon, $19.99 42135 - Monster Jam El Toro Loco, $19.99 42136 (missing) 42137 - Formula E Porsche 99X Electric, $49.99 42138 - Mustang Shelby Cobra, $49.99 42139 - “All-Terrain Vehicle”, $74.99 42140 - App-controlled Transformation Vehicle, $129.99 42141 - TBA (18+), $179.99

Flagship backhoe is kind like similar iconic and in-line of successor of Liebherr then Cat bulldozer…. I think it only happen on 2023 or later. IMO, 2022 flagship likely a truck, unlikely a construction vehicle, unlikely a crane, maybe another advanced crane truck?? We shall see.

Usually the 1:8 supercar are considered the 2HY wave, they have exclusive early launch on lego brand store / certified store. Open-trade or normal reseller only will be available from August We have a sea/water vehicle every 2 years since 2018 (racing yacht) then 2020 (catamaran). Won’t surprise if we have another one on this category next year as long as TLG like to continue this trend.
