Technic 2017 Set Discussion

[Kmuffin]

As from the pictures the BMW looks good but I don't like that searching ship. The container truck looks good

A YouTube user named "Simon's Lego Technic Corner" just posted this replica of the 42061 Telehandler. In my opinion he did an excellent job on this, and I hope the real one is just like his.

Very nice find. Telehandler replica looks very good despite missing new axle with pin hole part and new worm gear.

But with so many telehandlers-like equipment there is a little possibility to see this one (as medium size model)

It uses tractor pattern or utility pattern tires...

Have there been any details on the 40th anniversary brick/piece ?

completly forgot about that!

Good work on that replica, 'Simon'! It is missing an angled panel and what looks like a beam or two making up the engine opposite the cab in the actual set image, but the mechanisms are well done, especially with the Arocs part. Hope the real set is this cool.

Ah, I found a good video with all the new sets!

I like the Jet Plane very much!

Those are the same images in the leak, people. Not new images.

Trying to follow this years thread and last years to find out when we get some official press release from TLG - I'm hoping might be this week, looking back at last year we had a lot more info early on in August including this years 2H. I don't think there are any toy fairs coming up until after Christmas. Will we get anything official do you think or do we just wait to see what appears on 1st Jan??

[KLF]

But strange is that we have still no rumors about 2H sets, isn't it? ;)

I don't think it's all that strange. In the past we only got pictures of the 2h sets after 1h was released.

I think you mean we didn't get 2H pictures until then.

The Lego store calendar indicates that the new catalog will be coming out on November  7th. We will hopefully get more details then.

[eliminator]

BMW looks good. I will certainly be getting one. The big questions is what will be the 2h flagship. There certainly has been some interesting sets within the last few years.

As a someone who's been into Lego for over two decades and just into Technic (within the last couple of years), it's certainly is a fantastic time to be a fan of this series.

I did some looking around online and it looks like the catalog is probably the 2016 Holiday catalog. So probably no news about the new sets in it. Wait and see I guess?

I received a LEGO holiday catalog in just the last week or so. Is this the same one?

Tracker racer at 370 pieces? I guess that confirms both the price and the RC parts.

 

EDIT: And only 3 2H sets? With 42067 being skipped? Though perhaps with 42051 back in the mix.

Yeah, in 1H we get more sets but they are smaller, while in 2H there are less sets, but then they are larger.
