There are quite a few panels, beams in reddish brown https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catID=154&catXrefLevel=0&colorPart=88&catType=P But I am not big fan of a colour for such large surface.

Is 2026 the worst Lego Technic "off-season" ever? There is not much to discuss about regardless the number of sets is record breaking. TLG went quantity over quality. Bring back good old 2016 days

Each machine is very small. Smaller than magazine set. Like 30 pieces each? Wondering about the price. Magazine is 6 euros, 80-90 pieces per set.

So the crane is retired after two years. No continuous major sales on lego.com during the lifetime (looking at you, Zetros) so I guess it did quite well. It is nice that crane finally receiving recognition within a community. I think it was a great but misunderstood set. Have a copy myself, building experience (seeing the crane grow) was unprecedented. Works flawlessly and is stable at the expense of the accurate looks.

2026 will be the same as 2024, only different shell (my speculation). TLG just started to milk these new gearbox parts.

From polish website June: (NEW) 42229 Mitsubishi Eclipse from The Fast and the Furious – 827 pieces, PLN 279.99. Medium model. (NEW) 42231 Dodge Charger from The Fast and the Furious – 1516 pieces, PLN 659.99. 42239 Batmobile – model based on Christopher Nolan's films. Set for 18+. August: (NEW) 42234 Dodge Viper GTS R – 805 pieces, PLN 279.99. (NEW) 42235 Ferrari – 882 pieces, PLN 279.99. (NEW) 42236 Ford Mustang – 973 pieces, PLN 389.99. Another version of the Mustang.

Question is are we getting any heavy duty machinery this year (2000+ parts). I would not be surprised if tumbler will be small scale model (car transporter scale) with Zetros tyres at the back.

I have an opportunity to grab this set sealed for 240 euros. I consider 240 as the RRP this set had to have. Still not sure if pull a trigger tho

It should be 2025 model, based on previous f1 releases

Posted on Facebook... Construction of New Lego facility in US. I wish scrapper one day will be a set

The only purchase last year for me was bush plane and volvo front loader. That's it. I am still sour about the volvo excavator, that is the first technic heavy duty flagship which I haven't bought since 2011. I still cant process how Lego aproved functionality/pricing for 42215.

It is how it is

30736 Technic Polybag White Seaplane

30735 will be hot rod CAR

Hard to agree, I built reobrix set with all black pins, mistake was hard to make because pins were packet separately and you simply don't add them in the same pot. No mistakes were made for 4000+ parts set and I was not very careful

Well... Brought 42208 Volvo loader. Regarding 42215 my wallet is speechless.

It looks like March wave... Hopefully June and August waves will be revealed soon. Which F1 team could it be? Reskin McLaren is my first guess. Aston Martin is second opinion since we have already few licenses from Aston

Why don't you make it by yourself? It should be easy and fun, yes?

The set is roasted hard. And it deserves it. For me this set went from likely purchase for ~240 EUR to unlikely purchase at any price. I would simply feel bitter if I would have it on my shelf. And this comes from person who defended 42146 and has every construction flagship from 2011 ! Silly silly decisions from TLG :(

911 Reskin would be brutal, but price is too low, it should be Skyline / Ford GT scale (price hike yay)

Tool swap is the most useless automated function ever. You can literally pull the rubber bands manually... I could justify slow speed if all 3 functions could be enabled at once (like on 42042 crane). Even for 240 euros (-40 off) I might better go to the pub. It does not even look phenomenal if it's main purpose is to be a shelf queen

Spoiler alert ! More cars on the second half

Technic just went racers full time. Interested why the price is 75 dollars! This pricing does not fall at any recent scale so my guess is either it is 1:16 or maybe control+ (revuelto scale) set without electronics which could be purchased separately ??

Maybe thats how people will stop buying them lol. Porsche should be Skyline / Ford gt 1:12 scale (increase in price). It can't be 1:10 scale (decrease in price) or control+ set (decrease in price).
