Why it's a problem if a company is changing subthemes rapidly (I am guaranteed there is a direct connection with maximising profits)? They milk the cow dry and dump it. Like any other company. Even some people in this forum were already oversaturated by Monster Jam sets. Not speaking about the kids who get bored quickly.

It does make sense to buy second hand crane for this price.

What about Bugatti Mistral W16. It was recently revealed and it is the first car after Rimac-Bugatti merge.

Four months passed after release of this set. I am surprised that I can't barely see any of cranes in second hand market. Does it mean that sales are low or people tend to keep it despite it's size. I had to buy small table for it.

Yellow supercar would be amazing because all the new yellow panels and parts could be used for yellow heavy duty construction vehicles :D

I am pretty convinced that John Deere is paying for Lego. They can use Lego shelves as an andvertising platform worldwide. Benefit for LEGO: maybe adults tend to buy licensed tractors for kids more/easier than non-licensed ones.

We can discuss if discussion is polite and reasonable. Forum is meant for that so why to stop? It is interesting to hear other opinions about the set. You may notice that there are no such discussions on off road buggy, space sets and other topics with about non licensed sets. It is absolutely obvious that this set is licensed and some things are really off. If it is a toy it is still legit to rise questions why it does have such design. For example we have answer about the selection of tyres thanks to this discussion.

Do kids care if it is Jonh Deere or they care that it is LEGO vehicle in general? Why to license then if kids don't care about the looks?

If so I decline to continue this discussion. Have a nice day.

It is a Technic toy. Based on a real licensed machine. Bare mininmum should be a corect representation of mechanical functions (not the looks). It is my opinion, you won't change it. By the way your approach to the discussion is not polite, please consider keeping offensive words to yourself and find another way to express yourself. Thank you.

There will definetely be more (larger) sets in June/August wawes. 1:8 car, 1:10 car, Control+ set, pmeumatic set and 2000+ pieces flagship are highly expected.

Farming machine with truck tyres and forage gears all rotating to one direction. Are they joking ? I would not buy it even for kids. Kids would be educated wrong by this set. It is mechanically wrong.

42146 truss elements + half balls = wrecking ball

It is mainly a toy for boys or girls, space series obviously oriented for kids and it is okay. At least it is not another monster jam set. More serious sets will come in June-August waves.

Seconded. The new space sets is an easy pass for me, but I would definitely grab one as a gift for a 6 year old.

Badge. And it will be black. If F1 cars are becoming a series maybe they will hesitate to create new tyres just for F1. So it should not be the last 1500+ pieces mid sized car this year. I guess we definetely get replacement for Ferrari 488.

It is simply goes under marketing budget, I don't think that price per set calculations are on spot here. Ambassador program is extremely cheap and effective marketing strategy. Cost cutting is not a thing to consider here in my opinion.

Would you buy 42146 for 680 euros if this B model would be included?

Toy of soviet equipment in nowadays context? I cant see this one selling in western world :)

Considering 250 dollars price and the plain design of the Rover can it be 1:8 scale model with around 2500 pieces? I mean, 1970 Moon Rover is basically just a car chasis with few gadgets. I think either it must be a huge set or have additional obejects to increase piece count (astraunant ?). Or it will simply be a Control+ set.

Wow, this is amazing. This model is also so much more display space friendly

What about dragline excavator ? F.E. Liebherr HS 8300. We never saw such machine in Technic. The main idea is that quite a lot of parts could be reused from 42146 crwaler crane. Maybe it could be the thing not the next year but in 2025 when crane will retire.

Nice idea. I think if front loader would be Liebherr, it could be white = differentiation from 42030. We will have space front loader this year. I bet we won't get two loaders in one year.

What about Mercedes AMG one?

Just a little detail I observed: on A frame there is a little LEGO group 2020 marking. On boom structural member marking year is 2021. On counterweight part it is 2022. It really took a while to design this set.
