So instead of B Models we now have 2 in 1?

Well, it means A+B models, al least for some recent years.

What happened to the pullbacks' combined B model?

Also, I think we're not far from having an RC boat...

42106 has a pullback motor! Just noticed that. First time a regular set has featured one. Probably not the last. Plus, that bike looks like hot vomit. 

The buggy has flex axles in light orange as well! Cool. Wonder what the Xerion's B-model is?

A combine harvester... see 3 posts above :-P

Loving the pull back racing truck ... I can see that on my desk at work.

interesting hull pieces for the catamaran, are they totally new or from a City set?

got to love the mini Claas too!

for an H1 lineup I say this is pretty interesting in terms of looks, play and function. Just got to hope the big sets live up to this standard

The topic updated quickly! 

Woah, a forage harvester! Cool stuff. Technic does not have enough harvesters!

Let's see 42107!

It looks like the "2W" will be delayed into 2H ...

I like that the pullbacks each have their own B-model now.

Two sets have really stood out to me for something new - the buggy and the catamaran.

The buggy comes with steering AND suspension, all in a cheap tiny set. To me this is incredible, and I expect the set to fly off the shelves. It’s good that TLC have introduced a way to get more interesting/complex parts into smaller sets to make them easier to get a hold of. I hope they do this more often, and with small pneumatics as well.

The catamaran caught my attention not only because it’s a beautiful model but also because it floats. This means we’re getting an RC boat within the next few years. Something’s brewing here...

With massive single-use hull parts. Those I'm less impressed with.

Well I mean, how else could they possibly make airtight hulls?

To be fair, I did make it clear that I'd only really care if I gave a wet slap about boats. Which I don't. 

I also noticed that the small lime panels from 42080 make a return in the Mini Xerion! I was wondering where they'd reappear. 

@Maaboo35 Well then your comment more or less seems unwarranted lol.

But now that you mention the Claas, I wanna point out that I’m happy that they’ve also included steering for it.

As long as that's the only j-wordy part they're doing, I'm good. No one-piece crane booms, TLG... 

It is indeed cool that the Mini Xerion steers, as does the forager. Sometimes the tiny sets can be just as impressive as the big stuff! 

Those 1H 2020 sets looks sad compared to 2019 2H (my beginning with Lego).

 

I might get some of there will be a good promotion, not particularly interested in any of those.

I hope that 2h will bring more bigger sets.

It is normal. H2 sets are always bigger and more complicated than H1 sets.

There was 42095 and 42096 from 1h which i actually like. 

2020 H1 sets looks smaller than 2019 H1. 

I MUST BUY ALL MODEL!!!!!!!!! All model is perfectly my favorite!

Except 42109 rally. To expensive.

Don’t think those are flex axles. They look like plastic tubing.

Yeah they’re tubes

I'm not a huge fan of this line-up so far. I'll certainly get the crane (can't NOT get it ) and probably I'll get the rally car as well, but that's it from this list.

On the positive side, my wallet likes this. I have spent WAY too much this year.

Finally #3 Red connectors on 42106!

It looks these sets are more children oriented, I mean there is no a "big complex" set (we had the Mack and the Porsche in the last 1h waves), but I like them.

I like the 42102 most because of the two 36T gears, not many sets have this and are really useful for MOCS. So for 10 euro you get pretty good parts.
