Climate Change is just some money scheme nonsense! The Earth goes through numerous cycles. Humanity is just seeing a part of the Earth's cycle they have never witnessed before. Progressive and inclusive issues are nonsense as well!

So continuing the Construction theme with a Cement Mixer and Ride Loader(age 5+, assuming the worker stands up on the back of it?). I wonder if the Ride Loader will be on tracked wheels? Unless it comes later in '26, is LEGO just giving us the low bed Dump Truck from the 2-pack set with the Big Tow Truck?

Basically what I'm saying is you need to give the rear lifts platform attachments. A bit of shadow that doesn't make it so clear the rear wheels are off the surface.

I dislike LEGO possibly getting political, as it leans towards trying to indoctrinate certain ideals to kids. Stay out of the politics and create a variety of city sets that kids/adults like! Regarding the new Big Tow Truck/Dump Truck set, for the first time in 32 years of driving a vehicle in MD(16 years) and now CA(16 years) of the US, I just saw the other day a big tow truck towing a dump truck! So the reality has settled in my mind, but 90 bux is out of the question for a purchase. Either I wait for a good discount or I'll see if the Dump Truck is reasonable priced and sold separately on Brick Link/eBay.

The Constructicons/Devastator would be a epic icon release in their light green color. It could be done, but I feel the cost would be close $400 and the biggest challenge would be stability of Devastator himself, when combined/stacked together. My take is, coming very soon is a $1000 LEGO Death Star, so why not a $400 Devastator?!

Good design technics style. Just 2 nitpicks. The backhoe's arm(boom and dipper portions) needs to be bigger as it looks disproportionate. If you look at the JCB 4CX, you will see the boom peaks above the rooftop. Also, nice touch on the vertical lifters/stabilizers, but you need to place technic 1x3 pieces with rounded ends at the bottom(with peg pieces), so the back tires are lifted above a flat surface.

The only problem I have is the space ship. Keep that with the space stuff! If I were the head person on this design, I would have put a 2nd Subway Train Car to attach to the 1st one, added a 2nd piece of track and omitted the space ship. I'm sure all these components can be branched off. Wondering is there anything inside the tower building?

A Dump Truck or Front Loader has to be next, I'm guessing by the end of the year? With all these newer releases of construction machines, a Construction Site or Road Construction set(it would be a chance for LEGO City to release road set using black flat pieces) needs to be in the near future. Also an Asphalt Maker would be nice to compliment the Steam Roller(technically that is a Road Roller(I bought 2 of them and converted one to a correct Steam Roller), but LEGO City has never had black colored roads to depict asphalt roads. I'm just happy that LEGO City brought the Construction vibe back after such a long absence with only small trickle-in sets. Wouldn't that be to prevent degradation of an existing mold, especially if there are variations done to that mold?

Actually they are not. A Steamroller does not have back end tires(you would not press fresh asphalt with tire marks imprinting in the asphalt). A Steamroller has the cylinder rolls both front and back, to press/flatten fresh laid asphalt. A Road Roller flattens dirt or gravel to a unfinished roadway or construction area.

60466 is being labeled Yellow Bulldozer With Front Loader. A Bulldozer and Front Loader are two separate construction machines, so which could it be? In 2024 when they released the Construction Steamroller, that was incorrect as it was a Road Roller.

I'm 8 years late. By any chance do you have still have the LDD file?

I'm assuming ages 5 - 12, so a 5+ set.

Bulldozer for me!

More construction machines are needed(new dump truck and front loader are needed, would also like to see a new high rise crane), and maybe a construction public works center.

LEGO you suck! Just saw with Brick Clickers YouTube vid that 60450 Wheel Loader is a 4+ set for $15! They did the big mobile crane and excavator, but then go backwards with this?! I was feeling that LEGO Construction was on a momentum to coming back, but I was wrong. Here's hoping they have something better for Construction in the 2nd half of 2025.

In this year we got the $10 Steam Roller(technically it's a Road Roller), $55 Excavator and the $110 Mobile Crane. Wheel Loader will probably be a $50+ set, so maybe another $10 Construction Set and $50+ Yellow Construction Dump Truck? I would really like to see an new Construction Site or Construction Work Center. I'm just throwing darts blindly...

Excited for the 60450: Yellow Construction Wheel Loader! I would hope something like a Yellow Dump Truck follows it. Excavator and now a Wheel Loader, needs a big dump truck for them.

Any rumors going on LEGO City for the Fall/Winter season yet? I'm hoping we get a Construction Dump Truck in the 2nd half of this year.

A possible pattern release from LEGO? In 2005, they released set 7248 Digger and set 7249 XXL Mobile Crane. 19 years later, they release 60420 Yellow Construction Excavator and 60409 Yellow Construction Mobile Crane. Also in 2005, they released set 7344 Dump Truck(It's their biggest one ever released for LEGO City). I wonder if we get a new Yellow Construction Dump Truck release in the 2nd half of this year?

Sure does. LEGO City needs to release a Skyscraper set...

Excavator I'll get for sure. The mobile crane I would like but it might too big for my town and I don't have any built skyscraper buildings yet. In regard to the Excavator, I wonder if they will give us big Dump Truck later in the year?

I don't think so. That piece is available for Technic. Just saw the pics of the construction crane on RC Insight YouTube. It looks good but not sure if the $110 price is a bit too much?

I guess nobody cares. Just continue talking about LEGO City animal molds...

Brick Clicker has revealed details on The Mobile Crane! - 16 Wheels - 1116 pieces for $110 - foldable arm, lowerable hook, and foldable support arms - portable toilet to lift - 4 minifigs(3 workers and 1 architect) This crane is gonna be huge. If you all remember the XXL Mobile Crane from many years ago, I think it's a combo of that type of crane and the portable toilet from the Building Crane set. This would go good if you have skyscraper buildings in your city or just like to collect cranes.
