I can only speak for myself. I'm not into space stuff and although I have a couple cars, they aren't my motivating force either. Give me tractors, trucks, construction equipment with at least 2000 parts and I'm a happy camper builder.
February 21, 20241 yr So I was right :/ This should be year to celebrate SPACE... those sets are something we might NEVER ever see again.

Speaking of myself, I will buy all the space sets, not only because they might be one-offs, but I like the functionality, novelty they bring to the theme. Actually, I had a yellow copper orrery which had to be sold, so this Technic version, although doesn't include all the planets the previous had, will definitely get its special place in my collection :)

February 21, 20241 yr The only one that interests me is the planets one although I doubt I will be able to afford it :( Â

This year is disappointing for my taste, most likely no new sets will be purchased (but I am planning to push the trigger for 42042)

February 22, 20241 yr Author I'm not really into all these Space sets either. The only set that I might get is the VTOL as it resembles the Osprey.
February 22, 20241 yr There is possibility to put MINIFIGURES inside these vehicles. MOC a bit and you can see it is almost 1:1 Minifig scale. I really hope people like these BECAUSE we might get even more! Me for example, these will be my 1st Technic sets ever. Edited February 22, 20241 yr by legoturtle

February 26, 20241 yr The new LEGO House exclusive Set pays tribute to 853 Auto Chassis amongst LEGOs 3 main product lines Duplo, System and Technic, with a microscale System model. Sadly only 3 basic Technic bricks are included. Hopefully, a proper re-release of this iconic set will be made later on as a larger Technic set.

I was a bit disappointed about the scale and the lack of Technic parts in the build, but still nice to see it, and at least I don't have the urge to get it :) I really hope TLG makes a proper anniversary year for Technic in 2027, as other themes seem to get something special, not just that 1x3 printed beam...

Same, and in place of that attempt at modernizing an old set (Car Chassis 8860), I really wanna to see Lego trying something new, making a flagship set that will truly deserve to be called so.

It is indeed underwhelming though.. (And it is actually built out of 3 sets..)

March 4, 20241 yr My guess is also on a released hypercar lauched between 2023 and 2024: Artura, 750S or GTS. Could also be the "older" Speedtail as it's the fastest McLaren car to date. And we know LEGO likes to make headlines... Edited March 4, 20241 yr by R0Sch

The 3 models you mentioned just don't feel special enough to me When you compare a 750S to the Bugatti, the Lambo or the Ferrari it feels like a step back. If this potential new hypercar is released in April/May, there is a possibility it could be the Lego model too. Otherwise the Solus GT, Speedtail or even Sabre could be potential options I think.

I'd rather see them release a P1 GTR instead then but that is not very likely. None of the newer Mclaren cars look exciting to me. Edited March 4, 20241 yr by zoo
