Could a wheel tractor-scraper be called a "hauler" by LEGO, just like they called the 42006 an "excavator"?

Dunno, but I doubt they'd call it a dump truck.

If that would really be a harvester then I suppose something like small red one by @Thirdwigg

That would be nice, but then it would mean TLG would need to design a set with more than one function.

Fair point. OK, so more than two functions.

Probably the best set of the wave ;)

Bugatti Bolide seems to be the successor to the 42123 McLaren, which I really like.

Looking forward to these small sets.

Would be great if the polybag has steering and a working lift (what I really expect with a pallet), maybe something like this:

But strange as it's same blue colour...

It's probably more likely gonna be like this, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Yes, that would be odd. I actually quite liked the McLaren, despite it's general unpopularity.

Indeed, that has a better chance with a part-count around 70 pieces. The 8290 is really close with 88 parts...

If so, I hope they do a better job on the drivetrain, 1WD instead of the real-life AWD would be disappointing. Also hoping the lines translate well to technic, that hasn't always happened with other small-scale cars.

Yeah but its shapes also quite closely resembles the pull-back Porche set, so it could be just an aero-shaped pullback chassis. However, I don't mind getting new panels in balc and blue...

[MarkyMark42]

I'd assume those that don't like applying stickers are probably not going to like the Nascar :)

I think we can expect something like the 8259 for this, which also retailed at 9,99€, but in 2009...

Or Tomik's 9391 alternative.

I will put it next to my mini snow groomer

[Maaboo the Witch]

I dare say we'll have enough mini snow groomers for a mini ski resort.

I'm gonna go rent me some mini skis.

How many parts does this have? Seems like a perfect pack for this scale :-)

About 210 pieces, if I remember well. It is a bit more, than the approx 140 pieces of a mini set, but contains 56 link thread pieces. The 9391 tracked crane had 218 parts.

Going by images of the actual truck, it looks like Monster Mutt Dalmation is gonna use red rims. That'd be cool, seeing as they'd really set it apart from previous trucks. Max-D and El Toro Loco both using orange rims was a bit repetitive even if it's technically accurate.

Dragon's probably gonna have the dark silver rims from Megalodon, though.
