A Skid Steer w/ the same front loader bucket as the new Backhoe would be nice.

I wonder what the next Construction set will be after the Dump Truck/Front Loader/Trailer Office set? My guess would be a Tower Crane, Track Wheeled Crane w/ Wrecking Ball, a Big Road Roller or a new Skid Steer Loader. Probably not gonna happen, but I would like to see an Asphalt Paver or Road Construction Crew w/ a truck like vehicle. Saw a video clip somewhere from someone that heads LEGO City, with them saying there will be a total of 7 Construction sets that have the Elephant logo. Have we reached that total or are there a few more?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Most of the countries outside the US, Summer City sets are released in June, and then for the US released in August?

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?

OMG, a Front Loader Backhoe?! If this one is more accurate(either vertical or rigor lifts, backhoe bucket), I'm buying 2 of them! At 301 pieces that seems it will be more detailed than set 60385. I didn't want it so large, but still about time we get a new dump truck and a wheeled front loader! A Tower Crane and Construction Center should follow suit, hopefully!

Any hints of Construction?

I'm gonna guess that after this Cement Mixer release, either we get a Dump Truck, Front Loader, Tower Crane or Backhoe Loader. To top it all off, a Construction Works Center or some type of Construction Zone set that is not 4+.

Also the Recycling Truck!

Actually never mind. I just found these reveal pics. https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/new-lego-city-january-2026-sets-revealed/

Why isn't 60495 Recycling Truck not in the list or was that a rumor? Cement Mixer and Snow Plow look good from the pics I just saw, and I like the fact they have doors that open for the cab. What exactly is Rides - Construction Loader?
