I'd say it's this set that has manual pneumatics. You have to compare it with another licensed vehicle, so 42125 for example, which is also 18+. It's more likely it will have about the same functionality as 42125 at a bit smaller size. Edited January 13, 20214 yr by Gumalca

Let's stick to 42110 Defender as a reference :) January 18+ vehicle -> shelf queen October 18+ vehicle -> playable with tons of gears doing stuff inside

Real 1-2-3 model were sold to China manufacturer and now are produced as "DongFeng Warrior" brand and are less known to world-wide consumers. The Hummer EV is a cool vehicle to model, with the car-marketing tie-in, but thanks to its being electric virtually all the components of the Defender's drivetrain (gearbox, transfer case, piston engine) would become unrealistic, leaving us with a very basic model, which wouldn't really be the Defender successor it has been speculated to be.
January 14, 20214 yr For my best opinion I can give, might be a Chevrolet Pick-up Truck ? Since likely an successor for Land Rover, an 2021 Silverado using Land Rover Mud guard would be perfect. Edited January 14, 20214 yr by Technicallism

So far it remains to have the same price as 42128 (Tow Truck) which looks so promising, so this one should so on. I really hope.
June 1, 20213 yr The Munich auto show is mid-September, and Mercedes is still to reveal its new G Squared. It would be nice after the Defender.
June 1, 20213 yr Author Back in 2019 the official name for the Defender was leaked on June 21st and the official box image was accidentally revealed by Smyths Toys the next day. Let's hope for sth similar this year. Edited June 1, 20213 yr by Ngoc Nguyen

It has less than 1.5k pieces, versus vs the Defender's 2.5k pieces, which means that it'd almost certainly not have a gearbox. It'd just be another hollow shell.

June 3, 20213 yr I think this topic needs to remain inactive until further info is available. It's turning into a speculative wish-fest.
June 15, 20213 yr Ford Raptor F150. Time to rename the topic. Thanks @mpj. Edited June 30, 20213 yr by Jim Image removed on request of TLG

It definitely appears to be a defender successor, (Edit: probably not exactly, since the tires are smaller when the real Raptor's are larger, and the part count is also a lot lower.) and makes good use of a number of new parts from the January wave. I assume the wheelwells and fever flares are the same as the Ferrari's. Where did this image come from? Edited June 30, 20213 yr by Jim Image removed on request of TLG
June 15, 20213 yr Probable functions: Front independent suspension Rear solid axle suspension V6 piston engine 4WD Gearbox (likely a 4-speed sequential) High/low transfer case (less likely, given the smaller size relative to the Defender) Opening stuff

June 15, 20213 yr Are the tires the same as on the C+ buggy? I like those black arches above the wheels and the whole truck looks nice. Who knows if @nico71 had some"deeper" inspiration on his green truck?
June 15, 20213 yr It looks nice but if the older info is right (1379 pieces for 149,99 EUR), then this is overpriced as hell. I mean, it's the same price as the upcoming 42128 Tow Truck...
