Agreed. Another thing that bothers me are the super low profile tyres which makes the car look pretty zesty.

Yeah been waiting for 10+ years for a proper successor to the 42009, other than the 42043 and 42082 we've barely had anything similar. And I also want to see the 64x20 tyres in huge sets again, those were never a miss. With the new gearbox parts from 42232, there is definitely a possibility for a new mega distribution/sequential gearbox, but I doubt they would motorize it the way they did for the old C+ sets like 42114. Unless theres a successor to C+ system, we may not see it soon. Well at least those parts would make for some giant mocs.

We might hear about the 2027 Jan sets anytime between July-September based on previous years. Past 2 years were in mid July, so still have at least a month to wait. Plus honestly I don't think (or hope) this car craze would last too long, other companies are catching on and bringing good competition esp with the mattel sets. To me it just doesn't make any sense to get the car transporter gang sized cars with gaping holes and weird proportions when a diecast model could bring similar functionality with 10x better looks. At one point it has to get repetitive and kinda meh for the average consumer.
