siddparkar Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Elephant is not just large but the largest Land animal. So could it be that 42100 will top 42082 in terms of pieces? Really excited for this. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) The largest land machine was already done. I really hope it's not gonna be another set-with-biggest-piece-count-ever this year. Just 2k parts is enough for a decent flagship already. Anyway, since the cat is out of the bag now, I'm gonna spoil another info: In the survey sent to retailers, in the Lego Technic section, there is a question that goes "How is your confidence index for the new Power Function?", with a rating from 1 (very unconfident) to 5 (very confident). That means we can expect new PF for 2019 2H or 2020. Go rejoice. Edited January 17, 2019 by Ngoc Nguyen Quote

What if it's an excavator with two-sections arm that looks like flamingo's neck and head? - As for the elephant, I believe it's a bulldozer, or just really something huge and big Nice way of different thinking about Flamingo someone says about Claas Jaguar Terra Trac it maybe the Elephant ?... no matter what, I hope it really Big Quote
dimaks13 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 Note the "confidential". That means the two sets are licensed. 2 hours ago, Ngoc Nguyen said: That means we can expect new PF for 2019 2H or 2020. Go rejoice. Whay would be the point to ask in 2019 about what would be introduced in 2020? Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Since the retailers are asked to evaluate their confidence in the new PF system, I think there will have to be demos, sample packs, or introduction materials of some sorts to them. Quote
Technicallism Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Nothing big deal to guess about the animals elephant - CLAAS Jaguar Terra Trac flamingo - VOLVO Backhoe Loader Truely sorry if I break the topic rules jim Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Backhoe is a flagship material. I don't think TLG would waste it on the 2nd biggest of 2H. Quote

Backhoe loader is an excavator? I'm quite sure Volvo does not produce backhoe loaders. Quote

Based on this link Bugatti Chiron could have been developed under Apollo name...so it does not have to be something based on size, or shape Edited January 17, 2019 by I_Igor Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Also, there's a Volvo in 2018 already. We get a Volvo every 2 years, so I dont think there's a Volvo in 2019. Quote

Sorry for some offtopic, but these aliases make sense more and more: remember the marriage step (front + back halves join)? "Apollo" reminded me Apollo + Soyuz coupling. Similar things, isn't it?

AVCampos Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Isn't that overthinking? To me, the most likely scenario is that they opened a dictionary, picked a word at random to assign to the project, and took the rest of the day off. Quote
Yonnix Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Is it only me or is everybody more excited than last year? Knowing that there are two higher numbered licensed sets than a 2.5k piece car transporter (which could have been a flagship in the past in terms of parts count) makes me anticipate something really spectacular. Quote
allanp Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I think rumours of an excavator might be playing into it as well. Quote

I think it has actually more to do with this what @AVCampos said...I do not think that it is to much brainstorming behind code names... 46 minutes ago, Yonnix said: Is it only me or is everybody more excited than last year?

Well I can speak in my own name, but the fact that LEGO made license with CLAAS makes me hope for new (probably smaller) tractor tire which I wanted years ago, and with 3 years interval used with baloon tires (Power puller in 2000, 81,6 x 38 in 2003, 94.8 X 44 in 2006 and 68.7 X 34 in 2012) makes me (at least) hope for additional tractor tires, since that type of tires could be used in various machinery (Agriculture like tractors, harvesters and trucks; forestry like harvesters, forwarders etc...)...but it could be one of a kind Quote

Sjoemie himself Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 @I_Igor i hope you're right about the tractor tire but i'm afraid it will remain unique. Would be pretty cool to have a tractor as flagship model though.. Quote
1gor Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) @Sjoemie himself that was just hope, my inner self tells me that it would remain unique tire Edited January 18, 2019 by I_Igor Quote

But a jcb fast trak would be a great choice! Don't think it will be anything claas terra trac related though. that would need rubber tracks and the new part in red, which in year 1 will be yellow. I'm betting on contraction, which is still awesome Quote
1gor Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 But that is not likely to be, please look in history of technic line and as I can remember there was never a tractor flagship, not even a flapship Quote
AVCampos Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Just now, I_Igor said: as I can remember there was never a tractor flagship 8859, in 1981. Quote
1gor Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Just now, AVCampos said: 8859, in 1981. In catalog that I had it was listed together with 8860 - car chassis ? Quote
