There's a "water vehicle" listed as an upcoming set. We don't know what it is exactly yet.

Pure speculation on my part but a hovercraft type boat would be my bet.

Another Technic "reveal"!

Awww, it's so cute! I wonder if it was designed by Grohl, judging by the tail color.

...and size; perhaps he got an idea during his (alphabetical) alternatives...

It is nice small and (basic) functional model

32014 #6 90' connector in green is extremely rare(last release is 1999)

I was actually incredibly disappointed with the Kawasaki's bright green, as I was hoping for the return of one of the rarest green parts, the 32009 double bent liftarm.(last release is 2002 but that is educational set so actual last release is 1998) If Kawasaki's color was normal green, we could see the return and new releases of various green parts, including the #6 connector and corresponding  double bent liftarms. Of course, these parts are also newly released in bright green, but I personally like the regular green MUCH better.

From the image, the parts look teal to me, not green. The white balance on the photo may be wrong, though.

I think so too

But even weirder is how theres 2 tiny sets for 2h when normally theres 0.

If it is dark turquoise, than 6629 6-4 bent beam is also super rare too.(last release is 2002 but this is also educational set. So actual last release is 1999)

And #6 connector in dark turquoise is new.

Whatever it is, these rare/new parts won't only be used in that small set, so we can expect to see McLaren, G-Wagen, Water Vehicles, or other new sets coming next year using them.

I hope it is nomal green and come in john deere set on next year with double bent liftarm and 5x11 panel on green.

So, are there two Technic mags this year?

"fixing" white balance agrees that it's dark turquoise (aka teal, bright bluish green).

 

32069 for the nose wheel hasn't been used in Technic in a long time, though it does seem to see 1-2 non-Technic sets a year.

Yeah I haven't seen that piece used in Technic for ages!

I thought that piece was discontinued even.

Took less than 10 minutes:

To add, the only uknown is which pin is used to move the winch, in the video I used 18651, though 11214 might make more sense to keep the winch from unwinding under gravity.

Nice to see more teal, but this really feels like a hodgepodge of the polybags that have gone before, particularly the helicopter and the forklift.

Yeah, I'd guess 2 pin 1 axle there.  It's also the 4-6 bent liftarm, not 4-4.
