All the differences between prelim models and actual models are actually between prelim images of models in catalogues sent to retailers and physical models at the Toy Fair. There has never been a case where there's a difference between physical models at the Toy Fair and the released models.

Regardless the proportions I apreciate the fact that with this set we are getting a variety of nice panels in YELLOW which weren´t available so far. That widens my opportunities a lot for building a nice supercar in that color .
January 30, 20205 yr Looking at the photo (page 1) I can not imagine where did they fit all 5 motors and a hub that were reported to be part of this set

January 30, 20205 yr It looks to me the cabin is filled with a grey hub + there is a cable visible or is it my impression?

I think the grey thing inside the cabin is the small Corvette mudguard in LBG. If it's a piece of electronic then it should be a motor. The control hub can only be at one place: on the bottom, under the hood, in front of the front wheels. It needs to be there so that you can open its bottom downward and replace batteries.

The backside of the cabin is 'filled' with a hub standing upright (the white side with the blinking led-light faces forwards), you can see the two LBG connectorblocks with 3 holes on the side of the cab. And it is a cable for sure running in the background.
January 30, 20205 yr Just shown a mate the pics of the Volvo and he’s just shown me this ... also launched at same toy fair! https://tamico.de/Tamiya-58676-Volvo-A60G-Hauler-6x6-G6-01-1-24-Bausatz Â

January 30, 20205 yr That page 1 image, the actual assembled truck, that cab can't have been built right. That does happen for toy show demo models sometimes. It just looks wrong, whatever the realistic proportions, that cab is plain ugly. Not going to pile on about the rest of it. Will wait reviews. It's a big RC dumper, probably pretty playable imho.   FWIW, 42070, which I think is 50% lame (too big, too empty, too much ££)...my kids love. But eh, I don't really buy Lego any more, it's all been done before and I've got cupboards full of the stuff. Where's the lolz eh? Edited January 30, 20205 yr by andythenorth

January 30, 20205 yr This video shows a lot of interesting features of the model. Now with Conrtol + and all it's sensors I wonder if the actual phone app and playing experience is more what Lego is emphasizing with this model vs. technical build Â

January 30, 20205 yr I.... I'm not excited. The cab just looks wrong, and I feel almost as if the model is large for the sake of largeness. I'm going to wait to see more pictures, before further judgement, though.
January 30, 20205 yr To me the dumping bed looks too wide for its length, I feel that could have been stretched more and the cab shrunk
January 31, 20205 yr So I've been investigating the suspension of the real A60H, and it turns out the rear axles don't seem to be sprung, but pendular, which I find surprising. I can't find any information about the front axle, but I feel it would make sense for the real thing to have it sprung.
