TLG is doing a bit better at set leaks Would love to see that. However, last I know TLG won't make a mistake releasing a licensed set before its real life version The 42142 I guess could be the surprise set saved later for this year. But then again, a fresh new surprise set would be sweet. Besides, if that Liebherr set gets delayed to next year an unannounced set is reasonable. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Well last year we did get a surprise set, which is the 42127. No one knew it exists until official photos popped up in late November. Quote

With the 42127 we knew it was a set with a movie license. Quote

TeamThrifty Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 I'm a bit out of touch recently due to work demands... Do we know what the big flagship is for this year? Not the Ferrari i presume.. the 2H biggy? Quote
LvdH Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 The Airbus I guess. There might be a Liebherr crane coming later (October maybe), but nothing is confirmed. Quote

TeamThrifty Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 Big crane would be cool.... helicopter looks really good too, not a car guy so need something to get my teeth into! Quote
Bricktrain Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Liebherr crane is not 2022 any longer, possibly 2023, at least in NZ anyway. Quote
SNIPE Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 LEGO better make a third model for later this year, since the lieberr crane is now delayed untill next year. Quote

SNIPE Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) lego released 2 models for August (the Ferrari is good but for reasons that are not TLGs fault, I have to wait until august 1st to get the ferrari, my parcel got lost) I am also getting the helicopter on the 10th of august. The material handler is no good as a 2H set especically for its price. SO NO. I WANT 4 SETS!! I am not saying it has to be a huge set either, getting the technic batmobile was a nice suprise enough because ot the parts in new colors / parts pack. - that was not a big set nor was it feature heavy (but please do make it feature heavy) 4 SETS. Edited July 28, 2022 by SNIPE Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 For 150$ instead of getting the material handler I'm gonna get a second 42128 and build a material handler AND something else from it. Quote

They're not gonna suddenly divert company resources that are occupied with next year's sets to rush development of another set just because a product got delayed... You get what you get, beyond good product value you're not entitled to expect anything. Edited July 30, 2022 by Bartybum Quote

You get what you get, beyond good product value you're not entitled to expect anything. FOUR SETS. What I am saying is maybe they already have a secret 4th set like they did with the technic batmobile. they just kept it a secret as well as the fact that the liebherr crane is being delayed (maybe) If not, I won't be happy because in 2h 2019 they released the spider crane, the car transporter, the lieber 42100 AND the land rover, AND they previewed the SPIKE PRIME system which some people managed to get early but it was eventually delayed. so thats like 4/5 sets. and 3 of them were BIG (land rover, lieber, car transporter) After all, when I buy lego, some of what I pay is just for the 'brand' itself - I'm not paying them to make fewer sets.

N-4K0 Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 3 sets, 4 sets, no necessary quality improvement regardless. A potential secret 4th set to "please" us could end up being a rushed mess for all we know. Look at the bright side, the unfortunate delay of the Liebherr crane means one more set next year since it'll come on top of what's already in development for 2023. Quote

Who knows maybe a secret [with proper/no rushed quality control] set is already in development. 1 hour ago, N-4K0 said: 3 sets, 4 sets, no necessary quality improvement regardless.

The Crane can be delayed until next year and still can manage to get booed when released Edited July 30, 2022 by thekoRngear Quote
