(no one is interested new technic space sets AND I DO NOT have a clue why is that). 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. Quote
legoturtle Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 So I was right :/ This should be year to celebrate SPACE... those sets are something we might NEVER ever see again. Quote

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 :) Quote

jonwil Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 The only one that interests me is the planets one although I doubt I will be able to afford it :( Quote

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) Quote

Ngoc Nguyen Posted February 22, 2024 Author Posted February 22, 2024 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. Quote
legoturtle Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 (edited) 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, 2024 by legoturtle Quote

R0Sch Posted February 26, 2024 Posted February 26, 2024 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. Quote

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. Quote

R0Sch Posted March 4, 2024 Posted March 4, 2024 (edited) 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, 2024 by R0Sch Quote

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, 2024 by zoo Quote
