Im thinking same as you.Class in 50€, then volvo with working pneumatics and BuWeEx in 220 € price point that hit about 3000 piece range but only motorized similar as this year crawler crane.After this will be ultimate ip car that will be fully RC and have about 2300 pieces or less depending on license because I dont think license in this case will be friendly if this will be some well known supercar.

Excellent footage of excellent car with remix of Kavinski's Nightcall.Im sold!

Will be interesting to see if another licensed set is rc, I assume that ultimate car with that price will be fully rc.My next bet is claas xerion to be motorized. Also I hope that ultimate Rc will be released worldwide in retail shops, we dont get officially in Czech republic unimog back in 2010...

2016 will be amazing year! Thank you very much for info Cwetqo!Is there possibility to provide prices and description to all know sets?I will post it to first post with dedication to you .

Light & sound system! Yes I really hope for some light and sound system in technic theme.But I dont want set that I mostly pay for electronics, I hope for supercar with usage of existing PF components packed in big at least 1:8 and sleek body ,as old pre studless era supercars,'with many, many functions...

He is an ambassador, so he has some insider info.Can be possible that ultimate ip car is Land Rover Defender?I mean there was succesful cuusoo submission, that seems to be too big for cuusoo set but revamped version in technic theme makes perfect sense to me with that price.There are also another cuusoo submissions that ended very suspiciously as exclusive sets after gaining 10000 votes and not passing review stage.

I think they retired set if there are little demand, this is why set like camper van is still in production same as with death star.

Thank you for info Cwetqo, I updated first post with that info.That price is scary and interesting at same time.Scary that is a megablocking 300€ ...And interesting that we see something unusual.I hope that this is that gift to 40 anniversary of technic theme...

Im curious if this mean increased price of flagship.Power functions cost a lot and there are limits in piece count compared to price and power functions elements.I think volvo with 1600 pieces and all possible power functions elements hit that limit.So if they want something more they must increase price...

Why not?Cargo plane needs replacement and best replacement is another air vehicle.It looks like planes and helicopters are popular amongst kids in technic theme.I missed 9396 because Im idiot, but if this rumour is true I will not missed it for sure.I hope for motorized twin rotor helicopter that is very, very big... I found this MOC of chinook, I hope it will be similar. http://florian.asso-...com/lego/ch113/

So another rumours, it looks like that first half flagship is heavy lift helicopter with price 120 €. Source http://www.doktor-brick.de/index.php/Thread/4279-Lego-sets-2016/?postID=71643#post71643 So it looks like it will be chinook...

Price will be about 50$, also last year pullback record breaker's official description it say that he is a dragster.So two dragsters in pullback theme will be enough.

There is high probabiity, that dragster will use tumbler tires.Im right?I will probably as many others buy this dragster only for that tires. I dont see many functions on that dragster, steering and maybe movable spoiler and opening canopy packed in sleek design.

I want city without police, and firefighters, for at least five years, Im bored with these two themes and I dont mind if there are guns or not.

I hope that police interceptor, fire truck and helicopter are in same scale.It will be great for kids to make some rescue action.

IP car is down, volvo is down, claas xerion is down and I didnt checked bucket wheel excavator. EDIT-Bucket wheel excavator is still up, it looks like only licensed sets are down.

All thirteen sets?Great warmup...

So this report made me thinking that this list is only first half, or they will release all models in first half for even bigger revenue...Can be this possible?Because only technic have all lineup already revealed and Im not sure why they already made lego shop website pages for second half sets.

I hope that this never happen.But this is probably easier for designers to make licensed set that make something really new.License probably came with blueprints and help from that company...

Where this megabloks came from?I only read this rumour from some trolling kid from lego forum instantly debunked by technic moderator.These years are golden age of technic, this didnt look like something that will instantly end.

Ultimate IP car is probably second half flagship, if pattern will continue it is rc.Bucket wheel excavatr is probably biggest non rc set, maybe is bigger than ult. IP car but ip mybe will be rc and pricier.

Also powered by Octan :-D .

I was thinking of chinook but, there is already twin rotor helicopter in technic portfolio and skycrane never was.Also there is city set with same name and it is chinook in police colours.Now Im happy, list is confirmed :) .

What if bucket wheel excavator will be at same size as mining truck and mine loader?It will be interesting, and also possible.

Great suggestion, I completely forget Dukes of Hazzard.
