Very nice helicopter for its size with a very nice B model, good for Lego.

Looks cool. I'm not an aircraft nut by any means but I like it. Seems very well designed and the concept plane is another step in the futurist direction. 

I like the helicopter but not sure about the jet. A swing-wing aircraft normally goes from straight to swept back wings, going from swept forward to swept back wings is just odd and wouldn’t give any advantages. You can do swept forward, nasa had a jet years ago like this.

are other boxes now out in the wild?

That's the question we're all pondering.

The police car was also there, but he didn’t realise these were part of the new wave so he didn’t take any pictures. We’ll probably see the soon, though.

Do not ask for links here. Reminder not to do that is literally at the top of every page in this thread.

@Frequenzberater if your picture was taken in a regular store, it is okay.

I have a hunch that the 3x7 white panels will appear again in the Porsche.

And that is probably set 42092 uses white liftarms 1 X 1...

The Swept forward wings are better for maneuverability, The swept back ones are better for speed.

Okay Imma take the risk and maybe get the axe for myself later. Here you go. Save them before they get shot down (pun). The box is out of the cat now.

Thank you for the images. This model is a nice surprise: handsome and good size model with some good and playable functions. Looks like an evolved and more mature version of the 8046 from 2010.

Not my picture.

Weird sets are weird

I'm not a fan of small Technic sets, but I like how the new sets look, all of them!

3x7 panels in DBG! Woo.

The power boat reminds me of set 6679. Not a bad thing.

Erm 3x7 in DBG has been around since last year.

Boat looks good! Blue car too! Although I might not spend on smaller sets.

The slanted 3x7? In what set?

i like the powerboat but the police car is just weird. Looks like a police car married to an F1/roborace car.

looking forward to better pics of the bigger sets

Ok the heli looks really good. Does the 42090 and 42091 have a pullback-motor or something like that? The rear axle and the housing looks strange.

Or like a 24 Le Mans car. Has nothing to do with a police car imho.

Yet they do. The well-known DBG pull-back motor box is clearly visible at 42091. I do agree that 42091 is a mini "police 42039" whereas the 42090 reminds me a longer version of 42033+42034 pickup. It looks rockish-outlaw like 42064 but the front looks strange.

It’s just cool factor, don’t think in to it too much.

Also, getting real LMP vibes off that blue pullback, won’t buy but I dig it

Not impressed with that bunch of sets, very poor. 

The boat is good, I'm liking that and as previously mentioned, looks to be a bit of a nod to the City set from the 90's

I like the helicopter. It looks great and the functions are also good. There is creative part usage to get the shape. I may just attempt to reverse engineer based on the box picture. Should be fun.
