Nothing interesting besides the 1:8 Kick Sauber F1 and 1:10 Mazda 787B models in the 2025 catalog imo.

I'm still waiting for the JCB220X. I was afraid it was cancelled. But now there is hope.

Unless LEGO is also planning to release a flagship JCB excavator later this year, which would explain why it's still pending approval on CaDA's side.

... and some people complain TLG has too many cars in their lineup! :laugh_hard:

The situation has been quite difficult for a long time. I can't write anything more, but I can assure you that we did everything to make the set available for sale.

The fact that the set appeared in the new catalog gives us hope that we will finally finalize it. I respond to messages asking about the release date at least a few times a week, so the interest is very high.

Do you have any confirmed information on this? So far I've only seen a few people pleading in the topic with wishes for new excavator/JCB set.

Knowing how high the expectations of JCB are, I'm very curious how Lego will manage to meet them. Especially when I see some licensed sets in which the biggest resemblance to the original machine is the logo sticker.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully, after the official release, you or someone else will be able to show a video with a demonstration of the features. Because for me, this model is not for the shelf. And I would really like to see the power and speed of operation.

Just to give my two cents: I thought kick was a pretty scummy company/platform? I wonder why cada chose to associate with them...

Because CADA is china company and one of the kick sauber driver(also alfa romeo which they made before) is chinise driver Zhōu guànyǔ.

Oh, makes sense. Thanks for the answer!

Has anyone got their hands on the new Sauber F1?

I'd like to know if the stickers are an improvement over the Alpha Romeo F1 before considering a purchase

Looks to me like all decorations are printed, which makes this set even more awesome. The small Speed Champion sized Sauber F1 also had only printed parts.
There's also this image:

I know these CaDA newcomers are not Master level, but still look pretty cute for kids:

I wouldn't worry too much about the catalogue. The are some other bigger releases lined up for 2025, including my next entry in the Master series.

You should take a closer look to the panels. There are some new usefull  types included.

Absolutely! To give a bit more context: a brand new line up of concave panels has been developed. Sizes and profiles are similar to the ones in the convex panel set we've known for many years. In fact, many are concave counterparts to the original panels, e.g. the large panels resembling the front wing elemens on the new Sauber are the concave version of Lego's #5/6 panels. One can also spot a 2x2 transistion panel next to the headrest which can line up with both the convex and concave panels and is super versatile IMO. It will allow even better bodywork replication, particularly in exotic cars where convex surfaces appear frequently. Not all concave panels that have been developed so far appear in this set, but it should give a good idea about the system.

I wonder if the new Sauber F1 car from CADA will have optional motorization just like the alfa romeo F1 car they did.

I hope not - the optional motorization complicates the drivetrain to the point that it barely works in my alfa romeo, making all sorts of terrible clicks. 

At least the new car has a reasonably sized engine.

Small, cheap, but the playability level is Top!

I even do not know what's better way to use those 100-150 part together as a set...

It took a while but my review of the C61508W set is now available. I've added a few tips. Enjoy :)

@eric trax I think this set is wonderful. I'm lover of Ag equipment and spent all my mocing time building tractors... and wondering why TLG have ignored this sector and just releases car after car after car. Finally here we have a genuine flagship in my favourite sector!!!

I hope this is the start of more ag sets of this size. I've been waiting since i was 10....!

I don't follow things on a daily basis so only just discovered it uses a phone app - which i think is excellent. 

I need to catch up a little on this control system.... and whether is programmable for mocs etc.

But on first viewing, this set is a definite purchase for me. Flagship ag set at last!!!

That looks really good. I was wondering about the proportions of the roofline especially, and some shaping at the front. But apparently the GT3 is quite a bit different from the GT R and it looks pretty much spot on.

Very well done by the designer! I think I have an idea of whose design is it, but I will keep my mouth shut for now :wink:
