New Technic parts in the Model T (wheels, windscreen):

I think recolors are worse than missing B-models, especially if the sets don't get revealed at the same time. And I bet that the green Bugatti will be exclusive to LEGO again so there is no real choice for most people except to buy the main retail set.

Here's the 2026 CaDA catalog: https://cada.toys/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/CaDA-Katalog-2026.pdf

The color scheme and manual version of the AMG One are great. Kinda regret buying the motorized, silver grey version now. The Alpine's look really good and the print quality is superb (source HdS video):

You can only put those in the middle. You need bevel gears for 90° transmission at the wings.

Yeah, love the color scheme. It's a pretty swooshable little set. Here's my reverse engineering of it: 30736.io P.S. I would modify the tail stabilizers to have movable elevators by switching the 5L axle to 2x axle+pin. The included 3L friction pin is enough to hold them in position.

The new polybag for March:

Nah. Let them make something outstanding for the 50th anniversary instead of minikits and preferably excluding cars.

Tell that to the CMF adult collectors who used to feel the packages or now scan the Data-matrix codes in the stores. It's true that I am one of those, but that is not the point here.

Well, if there will be 8 different kits, then maybe I won't be able to resist. Let's see. Edit: Looking at the right corner, you can see 8 models on the box, so It's really 8 different ones (the same tick mark as seen in CMF's) rather then an 8-in-1, but there is also a "Series 1" written on it so there could be more in the future.

Sorry, I just don't see the appeal of these 6-in-1 microbuilds. They also seem to contain less pieces than a Technic magazine gift. It looks like it's the same box in a display unlike the collectible minifigures where you have 12 or more.

Here's my reverse engineered GWP Kanto Region Badges display case, in case you want to rebrick it instead of spending 650€ on a set: 40892.io

I had accidentally a second canopy pieces in my Submarine bag. :D This "supercar" is not very pretty and the lack of steering wheel or seats bugs me. Still much better value than the basic minifigs from the licensed magazines.

I can re-upload it if you still need it. Here's are the online instructions: https://www.blue-ocean-ag.com/fileadmin/Bauanleitungen/LEGO_Technic/412601_LEGO_Technic.pdf

Offering agricultural vehicles without Chevron tires should be a crime. I thought CaDA wants to be better than the Danes. I could look past this 5 years ago when they reused parts a lot, but not now.

Found a couple more 2026 releases. Looks like smaller scale versions of existing sets. Source: IG @toys_planet.it

Finally... Took it's sweet time, but it arrived in perfect condition. Can't wait to build it!

After blue, we finally get red half bushes too, but downgraded to same width tires again. :(

Since the images are already out, here are the key facts of the new Icons F1 set. Set nr: 11375 Age: 18+ Nr of pieces: 735 incl. 1 minifigure Release: 2026 MSRP: 89,99 €/$ New printed "Bridgestone Potenza" same width tires (here we go again) with profile and new 6 spoke rims in flat silver (also not accurate to the source model). Technic 1/2 bush recolor in red.

Looks like CaDA removed the reviews from their website after getting review bombed on the AMG GT3 due to unfulfilled shipping. I too didn't receive my set after more than 5 weeks of waiting and two different DHL numbers. Still, no reason to give a 1 star review on the product itself.

Apparently the air scoop. They were going for this version:

I don't, because they only sell them in China where LEGO can't do s***. The Alfa Romeo 1:24 also contained a minifigure in the CN version. The Yaris looks pretty bad especially with the grey wheel covers. Found a website with a lot of other new CaDA 2026 sets listed including an Iveco Crossway bus: https://www.hobbyco.net/newreleases-cada/

Thin liftarms are also made of a stronger plastic (probably PC like hinged/ball joint plates) than regular beams (ABS). They are shinier too so the color will be stronger/darker. Same goes for the pin connectors, they are made of PA (we all know the Sian had the same color inconsistencies with this part). Not an excuse, just an observation. https://www.lego.com/en-us/sustainability/product-safety/materials

Lol. They changed the name of the set incl. the box text to "motorcycle" instead of "motorbike". Guess it was too British after all. :)

Those descriptions are unreliable AI written BS anyway. By 180° they probably meant the rotation of the front grabber, but that one can rotate 360°.
