Maaboo the Witch

Sariel review, I do, I do, etc. One of the cons is actually pretty damning.

No. But the Audi tyres would look way better. I don't see why TLG wouldn't use them.

I think it's more or less a foregone conclusion that the Volvo will use the tyres from 42160.

Brickset has posted a review of the skid steer polybag! Sadly, it's normal orange.

...wat.

That'd be cool.

Quelle surprise.

If not the dumb battery box, then probably panels with a power unit underneath like in the ZEUX. And we're getting the Volvo L120, with which I do not have a problem.

That scenario seems most likely.

The Volvo L120 isn't actually that massive. The L350F is much larger, and that set contained 1636 parts. So, the L120 having 973 parts sounds about right.

Woah, cool!

And not before time.

Both the Volvo L120H and its electric conversion can use the spade-nosed rock bucket in Farming Simulator, so the Technic version will probably include it again.

Don't see how. Monster Jam sets used to be £17.99, with a B-model to boot.

Would be great. Also, wouldn't mind seeing this lot either: Bakugan Dragonoid/Sparkle Smash Monster Mutt/Raminator Soldier Fortune/Mohawk Warrior Blue Thunder/Brutus

Well, the ZEUX is a manual set despite being based on an electric loader, so there's that.

The L120 Electric doesn't seem to use the spade-nosed rock bucket, so I wonder what the Technic set will use. New bucket part?

A Volvo set released in a consecutive, odd-numbered year? WAT

Okay TLG, you have the Aston Martin license, and you have the JCB license. Make it happen.

The ball joint on the backhoe is a pretty cool technique. Plus, this'll be the first Technic backhoe that can actually fold the backhoe against the back of the vehicle! Great job, TLG! Only took you 36 years.

It actually does look like a JCB 4CX.

Why is this thing named "Tipping Dump Truck"? Seems redundant.

I think the app is optional.

Typical, isn't it? You spend twelve years waiting for a Technic backhoe, and then TWO show up at once! Well, a backhoe and a backhoe-themed monster truck.

I like it, personally. At least it's a backhoe! And it has outriggers; those were the one feature that 42004 lacked.
