September 26, 20177 yr Oh, I thought there were new images. Oh well. I forgot to mention, the Mack would be a perfect pneumatic set.

September 26, 20177 yr I have feeling that Mack will use LAs, because pneumatic is not that smooth when operating large parts or sections like containers or dump bed of a dump truck...

That would be the perfect time to introduce adjustable throttles for the pneumatic system :)

September 27, 20177 yr 42075 first responder looks like C model of 42068, same setting, same colors, I bet there will be accessories for minifigs as well (like on 42068/69). I hope catamaran will be regular yellow, but given the recent additions I think it will be bright light orange and dark azure. At least rally car looks like regular blue, now that is good thing. Now the biggest question mark is color of the Mack truck, my bet is dark blue with white or bright light orange, this color seems very popular by TLG now.

About 42075 I have the same thoughts, but Mack could be black - most of them on images are black hm or dark bluish gray??? https://www.google.hr/search?q=new+mack+anthem+truck&client=opera&hs=EE&dcr=0&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLvPau98TWAhWDB8AKHVJYADUQ_AUICigB&biw=970&bih=662
September 27, 20177 yr I would say black mack is the least possibility, designers mentioned in some interviews that monochrome models in dark colors are not that appealing to youngsters. I (we) might disagree, but recent models are best example. Beside that all black models are more difficult to promote - details are not visible, shaping is not visible etc..
September 27, 20177 yr Today I was looking at 9395 and I noticed that those wheels cloud be used in the Mack as well and would make it a scale of 9397...

September 27, 20177 yr Oh thank you. Well if TLG would stick with real colors I think they will go for "lacquer red" represented by dark red. Black and gray colors are too dull for main body, white is also no go as there were too many white sets already. Mountain green migh be interesting (with dark green) but I don't think TLG would introduce such large set in that color (too military), cobalt blue (represented by dark blue) might be an option too as I already mentioned above.

No problem Ivan. About color choices what you mention has a point. As I could find that info, so probably color options are in designers heads long ago; they just have to see which available parts in which color they have Edited September 27, 20177 yr by I_Igor
September 27, 20177 yr I dont get why some people still think the Mack is going to have Arocs wheels. The silouhette indicates pretty clearly (at least to me) that it has wheels of the Mining Truck. And since the Mack has the price of the Xerion I'm raising my hopes for dual tyres of the truck. That'd mean this set will have 14 wheels in total! I'm hoping TLG isn't stingy in this regard. It's a licensed truck after all, and the last licensed truck (Arocs) has proper dual tyres. Edited September 27, 20177 yr by Ngoc Nguyen

I must admit that at the first sight it could be that tires are from mining truck because front one look to wide to be 62.4 tires, but then again I do not have 20/20 vision
September 27, 20177 yr OH! I've just realized that the Mack Anthem has another pair of mirrors on the hood, but the silhouette doesn't indicate them. So maybe it's not gonna be the Anthem..

So maybe it's not gonna be the Anthem.. maybe not, they (Mack) are redesigning whole range (at least there are rumors to look like the Anthem), so in one of earlier posts was "iconic Mack truck" could be Granite or Pinnacle models??? They are even more suitable for container transport...
September 27, 20177 yr I think Mack will be dark bluish grey. Edited September 27, 20177 yr by Samolot
