Some rather unconventional parts usage, especially the large steering wheel on the front. -
I like the way the pump's been integrated! Took me a minute to find it. Also, 3L axle joiners in green.
-
Buncha June sets have been revealed on Brickset, so I can't imagine the wait for images is gonna go for much longer.
-
I'm not sure how much larger the boom can actually be and still fit on the box. The hook is just about going off the side as it is!
-
Reddit discussion here. The general opinion of this set isn't much more positive there than it is here!
-
"Need some actuators, stranger?"
-
And a lot more string!
-
Looks like LR13000 to me.
-
That's the pitfall of licensed sets. They have to look accurate, which this set doesn't, really. And like you said earlier, why bother if it can't be done?
-
Not sure how I feel about the red sections of boom. I know they're accurate to some versions of the real thing, but I think a pure yellow boom would look better. Well, a longer yellow boom anyways. Seriously, chibi boom or what?
-
The boom arrangement looks right to me. Length is wrong though. Wrong amount of weights as well. Think those might've been victims of the downsizing.
-
Bloody hell, it doesn't even fit on the front of the box!
-
Yeah, that's consistent with its real-world appearance. You have a link?
-
Well, then, you'll just have to bite the bullet.
-
Possibly because of the materials and expense of actually putting them together. They are pretty complex.

Sariel's review is up.

I particularly hate it when I've completed a complex sub-assembly, thinking all of the moulding marks are underneath - then seeing that it needs to be flipped. -
There are some really cool entries this time round! Picking the best was tough. 4: 10 10: 6 5: 4 1: 3 11: 2 3: 1

Some of the beams in the hood have the moulding mark facing up. I could never leave them like that! -
You must have very tiny feet.

I wonder how TLG has replicated the cab shape of the 948L-II. Also, having taken a good look at this 🐕, I see various areas of bodywork that would be well replicated using angled panels from the 9R and Dragon.
-
He's been working at TLG for a while now. He designs the Monster Jam trucks and also designed the Volvo polybag loader.
-
Also, the TotalEnergies branding. Oil and gas exploration giant? Not very green, TLG...
-
If it's anything like my old Peugeot 308, it'll need constant repairs.

Wonder if this 🐕 is gonna have the mahoosive track links from the D11T.
