42100 set.

Powered Up platform  is in general replacement for Power Functions components (used until now in some Creator Expert models and some Technic models) which will remain active until end of 2020.

"Is there any way to stack the new connectors like the PF 1.0 ones?
The new plug is not stackable like the Power Functions plug. Sensors cannot be stacked and in most cases you want to control one output function at the time and not more together. This was done to enable more intelligent interactions through the wire.

An example of this is that all elements can now be electrically identified, so when attaching e.g. a train motor, the Hub and the App can now recognise it is a train motor. This allows us to help younger users put things in the right place. Another benefit is that we can optimise functionality based on particular elements, for example when using a train motor or the add-on light, the handset increments/decrements power (good for train / setting light) but when using the medium motor, the handset sets 100% power when a button is pressed down (good for RC vehicles)."

Wait, components can be purchased separately at LEGO brand retail stores? Does this mean that they will actually sell individual motors at a physical location? That sounds pretty great! Also, I didn’t know they discontinued the rechargeable battery box :cry_sad:

Yup, they do..  It is best to call ahead the store to make sure they have it in stock before you make a long trip.  They keep them under the counter or in the back.  It is not something you can grab off the shelf.  Talking to a brick specialist is required.  :classic:

Oh, neat! Luckily it’s a 5-minute trip to the closest official LEGO store for me!
