Ngoc goes to the darkside again... -
Telehandler?

When a clone product is better than the real thing, then there's a problem...
-
That's already been stated.
-
TLG did that already. It's called Forma, and it flopped.
-
Does it really have to be that wide? If so, it's based on a European model. American style cement trucks are rather narrow.
-
42008, 42024... Urrgh, it's gonna be an Alfred job, isn't it?
-
No B-model for the Volvo is a kick in the teeth as well, seeing as Volvo B-models are brilliant.
-
Aww yeah! I loved trying to figure out how to build the alternates for City, Star Wars and Rock Raiders. It's true, TLG has been systematically eliminating B-models. Something essential has been lost.
-
But it isn't just the cars. It's affecting the regular sets as well.
-
Don't forget 8854-B, 8446-B and 8451.

Their catalogues are indeed similar. My point is that a Volvo hauler's been done - why not a Liebherr one? Maybe it's like you say, and we'll get something else from Liebherr later on. Again, though, if it had to be Volvo, why not something new? In fact, this is the third Volvo hauler, if you count the PEGAX from 2018.
-
Another thing that irritates me about this is that TLG has the Liebherr license. If they had to do a hauler, why not give us this puppy: Plus there's a newer version coming out next year, so the timing would have been great. But no, we get a virtual rehash of something that's already been done.

Got 'em out by using a tweezer and sneaking in behind the axles to shove them out. Ridiculous. At least with the turntable in 42049, you could use the exhaust pipe part to dislodge the pins... -

Presenting, on this forum, today only, the Kobayashi Maru of Technic Disassembly: -
No, they're just rehashing a model from a few years back, adding an extra axle, and desperately hoping that bigger equals better.
-
Marketing 101. Offer the same old crap, but with a brand name to cover up the fact that it is indeed the same old crap.
-
It shouldn't be.

Hold it! You're @Yevhen! Your Brickshelf handle is Parazels... nice try. Hey @Jim... -
I hope it is, I really do. Markus's stuff always rocks.
-
I'm thinking so. Maybe with a third gear-type part to act as the screw.
-
It's pretty consistent with what's on the box.

Drive, steering, payload bay.

I imagine the drum being white.

There's no discernible difference.
