Some set number info about probably the  2HY 2022 sets:

42143
42144
42145
42146

Missing 42142 might be the UCS supercar.

At least we know got 4-5 sets in 2HY.

I'd say 42146 is the number for the UCS supercar because the previous 3 supercars are all the last in their year's lineup. The missing 42142 might be an irregular release like the Batmobile.

I think 42142 is another film licensed set, or maybe even a Game licensed set, It would be very interesting. 

In H2 I expecting a 42128, 42112 scale truck, an Aircraft, big Construction Vehicle and a 1:8 supercar ofc.

Maybe 42142 will be Fast & Furious Toyota Supra for example

With Toy Fair at London being a month away (if everything goes at planned), I guess we are not far away from the first hint of 1:8. Would love to see the Supra.

I doubt that there'll be another truck in 1 year.

42128 all had 2 years to come after 42098. 42078 and 42098 had 1 tho..

[Technicallism]

I really hope there will be one technic version tug boat like below:

We are really short of boat/ship, 42064 Ocean Explorer was waited 25 years since we have the first one in technic.

Hope we no need to wait another 25 years for the next one.

42112 would like to have a word with you.

[Dami]

2017 - 42068

2019 - 42098

2020 - 42112

2021 - 42128

Only in H2, because in H1 2018 we got 42078

I expect a new incredible supercar, something like a Ferrari Daytona SP3.

And may be a port crane, it will be great and with lots of possible features 

[Kostq]

Well, 42112 didn't have 2k+ parts, so I didn't count it as a "big" truck.

The scale is the same though, and I think the main reason for the lowish part count is that the main function (=drum) was made of only a few parts, unlike other trucks in similar scale. So I'd say the part count isn't a great guide here.

[Dami]

I think next truck on this scale will be logging truck. Im dreaming about garbage truck but it wont happen I think.

[thekoRngear]

A follow-up to 2020's 42114 might also happen I guess.

Would be great. It'd be a bit of a shame if the loader polybag was the Volvo set for 2022.

[AVCampos]

If you're referring to another hauler, I highly doubt it: the 42114 is too recent for that.

I think @thekoRngear was talking about another Volvo set to complement the A60H. Perhaps not.

Yupe.

Time for a Volvo control+ wheel loader.

@Maaboo35 although I (currently) do not like C(rap)+ I really think the automatic gearbox inside the A60H needs an evolution by another iteration (could be in another form factor). That gearbox had some potential.

Also a truck with bigger wheels is welcomed. The 42128 is my first Technic Truck but the wheel size kinda makes me a bit unhappy, but not too much to make fuss about since it is enormous, functions packed and pleases us as it should. Plus the recent cement truck dump truck have had similar tyres (maybe the width is bigger in the tow truck). I think 8285 42143 and 42114's tyre sizes are great. Wait, did I read somewhere in the forum that truck tyre size might have been retired? If that's the case, the A60H/42114 tyres would do just fine.

So, for that
1. automatic gearbox
2. bigger wheels
I think a follow-up to 42114 would be sweet

Last year there were some new wheels or rims (used in minions), which would fit really for some asphalt roller. But there still are now news about that. 

[Maaboo the Witch]

Volvo has a pretty big equipment range, with loads of great subjects for new sets. I have no problems with the polybag, don't get me wrong, but for that to be the coming year's sole Volvo set seems like a bit of a missed opportunity.

The functions I see for such a machine are articulated steering, piston engine, and pendular suspension. That could work for a set, but mid-size (comparable to 42049) at most.

agree, I dont see big scale Asphalt Roller.

Since we are not that far away from the Toy Fair London (which is still subject to Covid situation) I think the next 1:8 will have a 10 speed gearbox? 8 speed has been done for the last two models. The last one was polished on the Sian. A 10-speed does not seem to be that bad- in terms of building challenge.

Well 10 speed transmission has one known car (it was featured in 42126 set) https://www.phillongdenver.com/new-ford-raptor.htm

I don't know which hypercar has 10 speed transmission. They should go back to 4 or 5 speed fully manual (even not synchromesh)...this car now only brake down and even ordinary service is highly expensive (they need almost as much lubrication as fuel)

Wholeheartedly agree with that, but seems highly unlikely. My intuition says the parts count will exceed 4000 and the gearbox might even get more complicated (which jb70 will fix anyway  )
