Sadly there are no new smooth panels in this "silver geeen" color from 8466 set. Color is great choice, but shape of panels is a bit let-down... It is good idea to cover all those blue pins

Technic 2018 Set Discussion

This shown prices are indeed high for my point of view (and my financial possibilities), so I'll wait and see like I have waited for another Xerion and got it (actually my wife bought it) for some ~~107€ (initial price was 180€). About 42082 (sorry I'm late to the party) but panels 3 x 11 are defenetly used, you can see on "oval" pinholes on panel they are proportionally much higher than wide...If I remembered there is one more set - "black box" which will be very interesting to see on Nuremberg toy fair what is about. -
So far it looks interesting and huge... One simple wisdom - building big - big responsability; that is why I build smaller models. You have menaged to make so many C-models from your sets which leads me to one question - did you have broken or worn parts? I'm asking because my parts are worn after some 5 times used. When I see my Arocs -still assembled waiting for some company like 1:17 (same scale as Arocs) Unimog. I'll peek tomorrow on this topic to see your progress. Still thinking to make something like your airport catering truck one day

If we look at licenced sets we have different types of vehicles / classes of vehicles: - Volvo (front end loader in 2014, excavator in 2016 and futuristic autonomus loader in 2018) - Mercedes (Unimog in 2011, Arocs in 2015) So I think wheever Porsche will be some other than 911 evolution And not forget that there is also CLAAS licence -

@Ngoc Nguyen only thing that you need is comparison of wheel / tire diameter and forks lifting system height to find out optimal proportions. Based od image you posted you could be right -

Size is based on Arocs gear rack, so best way is to look after real model and compare dimensions. Starting point is drivers seat. I'm tempted to make model with 49.5 tires (double at the front and single at rear) -

So far it looks that LEGO has no idea what to make as B model of forklift because there is no 2in1 sign on the box. Seriosely; so far we know that forklift has steering, usual lifting and tilting forks, but under dark blue panels there could be fake engine...forklifts have small engine (except the ones with tires bigger than driver). At least 62.4 tires have returned -

Yes it is, only light bluish gray. I was hoping for black one but i guess I have to satisfy with black frame 5 x 7... Unusual to have V10 on machinery and also uncovered -

Well that would be big step into the future of Technic For engine - it looks to me like V8, but hey I'm shortsighted It looks (to me) that crane arm is actually brick build like 8421 only with panels at the side -

Forklift is based on Arocs gear rack... Harvester, well it had main functions but if you look at manufacturer - they have also copyright on color combination and with such diversity in real world it is very hard to make something that looks great with colors and not to copy anyone Volvo futuristic autonomus loader - tipical visionar vehicle, so IMHO I was hoping for smaller tractor tires, but LEGO has to reuse parts and this is only second time that Volvo bucket is used.., 42082 great idea but perhaps ideal situation to introduce 81.6 mm truck wheels? Or it is not stiff enough to make steer and drive with smaller hubs? As you said lets wait for flagship... -

Just to mention, about 14 years ago I've made very similar solution but with suspension arms from 8466 set and upper part usually popped out when wehicle was heavier (as LEGO Unimog or even more...)
