Also, 8052 had a B-model.

Doesn't even use a linear actuator! What the hell?

Agreed.

It isn't.

Okay, looks like we're still waiting on the actually interesting sets.

Think this ugly thing was concocted to suck up surplus dark blue parts from the Red Bull car. Ironically, the truck and excavator in the background look better.

Who wants a Sariel review? I do, I do!

And deservedly so.

It's great to have Monster Jam back, and TLG couldn't have picked a better truck for its return.

Ooh BURN!

Couldn't agree more.

Also, it would probably be better to start a set topic or insert this info into the main 2025 thread.

For reals?

More JCB orange as well! EDIT: Never mind, it's regular yellow.

An excavator. Wowee. It's not like we've seen... one... of those... ...recently.

If it's regular orange, then it's appeared in more than one set.

Wonder if the backhoe loader will use the reddish-orange bucket from the skid steer? Seems a bit extravagant to produce that part solely for a polybag.

They've already been featured in an even cheaper set this year.

At least we won't have to replace the tyres this time.

They are.

The panels at the back of ThunderROARus look like 3x11 versions to me.

DIGatron looks pretty fabulous if you ask me. Looks like it has the backhoe as well. Cool use of robot arms for the bucket on the front. Roof sticker's a bit of a turn-off, but JCB! JCB! I was initially somewhat dismissive toward ThunderROARus, but damn it looks uh-mazing! Rare grey panel-o-rama, and the red Bohrok eyes make great claws. I did envision the classic BIONICLE claw, but they've been out of production for a while, and the scale would probably look wrong. Also, first pair of Monster Jam trucks to not use bright orange wheel hubs! Although Dalmatian's red rims are no longer unique. Sad pupper.

They are. It's JCB yellow!

Let's get some music in this joint.

Think we can update the initial post.
