No, no it doesn't. Of course TLG have to pay for the Liebherr license as it is indeed massive. Otherwise surely nearly every set would be licensed if TLG didn't have to pay anything. -
Caterpillar, JCB, Terex, Komatsu, Manitou, Bobcat, New Holland and John Deere are all pretty big as well. I'd say a lot of them are bigger than Liebherr.

It's called democracy, mate. Deal with it. Plus it wouldn't be "very silly" if we had a government that didn't have its collective head up its backside. And currencies fluctuate daily. Anyhoo, enough with the politics! Back to the Liebherr. Yeah, it'll most likely be £400 or over from what I've heard. With the CONTROL+ components which have driven 42099's price into the ceiling and those 4000+ parts, I'd be surprised if it wasn't £500.

No. I smell a bit of a cover-up there. TLG has had no problem releasing big sets like these side-by-side before, so why now? I still point the finger at teething problems with CONTROL+.

It's unusual enough for it to be one of Milan's. It's normally either him or Alfred who come up with the odder stuff. -
So Sam Tacchi designed this set. Interesting.
-
Both of those sets are from 1H 2019, bud.

Anyone else see this part in DBG, particularly visible on top of the mast of the B-model? -
Mm-hm. All we need is some red sprockets and we can build some Fendts.
-
Usually, but not always, especially in regards to older systems. See here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte Anyway, @Benbkab, I'm looking forward to seeing your tractor! Tracked versions really don't get enough love.
-
That's not universal.
-
It just seems a bit pointless to re-release a set, giving the newer model unique parts when they're not going to be used elsewhere. Unless TLG used those parts to justify people buying the re-release. I'm starting to suspect that that's the case...
-
You'd think that some of the unique or ultra rare orange parts from 42088 would make a reappearance here, but none of them seem to have done so.

Guess Olav is going to be known for painfully slow outriggers from now on... -
Time to stock up. Bricklink here I come...
-
Good point.
-
Good luck to the parents of THAT kid...
-
It's getting a pretty mixed reception over there. Looks like @Mestari and I are united on the no B-model subject, and a few others have raised the issue of this set being futureproof. In that it's likely not.
-
Got an aircraft hangar on standby, have ya?
-
True, but that was the rumour. And now we're seeing that theory put into action. In a set also designed by Uwe. Odd.
-
Didn't we all have the same suspicion about the mysterious 42067? If I remember right, lots of people thought it was something that could be towed by 42070...
-
That's the general consensus going.
-
All I know is TLG have apparently had problems with it. I reckon it's affected the Liebherr but I don't know about the 4x4. I wonder if that's going to be pushed back as well...
-
This is one helluva truck! Great job.
-
The Japanese one.
