There are leaked pics of the Backhoe...It looks good. I think it most resembles a JCB 4CX. New front loader bucket and new backhoe bucket as well(it's a smaller mold of the bucket the Excavator has). Also, there appear to be rear stabilizers, but hard to tell if they are vertical or if they lift outward.

Yeah, I took a second look and it looks like something is there but still too blurry to tell whether they are vertical or out rigger stabilizers.

It does look the same, but I bet ya it's a smaller bucket mold. What I'm more curious, possibly ticked about is they didn't implement rear stabilizers to stabilize the Backhoe. Which means I'm gonna have to mod them in like I did with my MOC Backhoe Loader in my Avatar pic. I can already noticed they copied very similar to my backhoe hydraulic setup.

I need to see the Front Loader Backhoe! It better have a new backhoe bucket mold, like the Excavator was properly given!

Does anyone have an explanation why LEGO City set 60495 The Recycle Truck has not been sold at Targets yet, despite being released on January 1st? I see it's on backorder @ LEGO.com, but available @ Walmart. Usually Target sells all January 1st releases, whether on shelf or online.

Man, the new construction sets for the summer I can't wait for...

So when could we start seeing City Summer pic leaks?

Tower Crane. It would fit if we see some high rise building sets.

You could always mod it depending on the design of it.

When you say uses smaller tires for the Yellow Backhoe Loader, is that in comparison to tires used on the just recently released teal colored tractor set? If so, then I was never expecting the tires to be that big. What will be interesting if the front/back tires are the same size(like the Digger set from years ago) or front smaller than the back ones. Dump Truck/Front Loader set sounds even better now, and explains the 120 bux price tag. A small office building in a shipping container basically means it's the construction contractors office, that is the size of a shipping container or tractor trailer container. I would say it could be that or it could be another dump truck like before, although they just released a low bed dump truck in that tow truck/dump truck set.

Maybe because a Postal Office is a government building.

Could 60501 be some kind of smaller roller coaster set?

Just took a look at a Volvo BL71, and too me it looks like a cross between a CAT and JCB Backhoe Loader(kind of an ugly duckling of backhoes). JCB Backhoe's are the most used world wide outside the United States(is pretty much dominated by CAT), and JCB is the grandfather of the front loader backhoes.

I'm hoping this backhoe introduces new pieces for a 301 pc count. Vertical or rigor lifts behind the rear tires, hydraulics for the front loader/lifts/backhoe(if not possible, then maybe prints or stickers of it), a new backhoe bucket with teeth(2x3 or 3x3 range), and proper front/back tires. Considering TLG is European based, I think they will likely model the Backhoe after the JCB 3CX/4CX and not after a CAT. If it were to be a 4CX, then the front/back tires would be the same big size. I'm so over hyped for this, as I love backhoes!

Awesome regarding Construction! So to me that means another Tower Crane and maybe another tractor-trailer pulling a bridge as it's cargo?
