With 104 parts, I highly doubt that it's brick built.

Now i noticed the backhoe loader has same amount of pieces as 8260 tractor so the backhoe will be really tiny but maybe it will use the same bucket

The topic for Technic 2025 has been updated.

The idea that the Aston Martin F1 Safety Car will be the next 1:10 model sounds very reasonable. The car's original color is closer to dark turquoise, but considering that it was recently shown in Speed Champions in normal green, it's likely that it will be in normal green in Technic too.

Additionally, if the Aston Martin Safety Car is true, there is a possibility that the F1 model will also be Aston Martin, and this large-scale collaboration with Aston Martin also indicates that the 2026 1:8 supercar could be  Aston Martin too.

June/August waves are not revealed yet, why the year is lost?

Because I do not see them making 2 backhoe loaders in the same year. But time will tell.

You can build my backhoe in the mean time

We had two Mercedes F1 cars+ G Wagon and three McLaren cars last year so perhaps JCB monster truck and little backhoe (which may also be JCB licensed) could be a positive sign :) just a matter of perspective.

These are cars.Construction machines are treated other way, just a matter of perspective. 🙂 But you know what? I hope you are right.

I really wonder how they are going to make a backhoe with 104 pieces. I will watch this with great interest.

In 2013 there was the set 42004 built from 246 pieces.

Yes, and it was already too skeletal with over twice the pieces. I am setting up myself for disappointment with this one, just like with this year's bulldozer.

That's gonna have electronics? 

[M_longer]

What kind of license costs are behind these?

42203 (462 pcs | $49.99)

42204 (810 pcs. | $59.99)

Only 10$ more for 350 pieces more?

No disparagement of the greatest Technic set of all time, thank you!

Plus, the new set will probably be built at a different scale.

[Jockos]

It's always nice to see non-licensed sets in the lineup..

I guess 42203 is some kind of non-vehicle thing (like the orrery with specialized pieces), and the other is the car transporter scaled car.

42203 could be  pull back F1 car (last year we had 42169 NEOM McLaren E Race car 452 pcs - 52.99$)

I have a (bad) feeling that from 42202-42207 there will be at least 3 cars  a motorbike and the other one...let's see.

I only now remembered that there hasn't been any mid size plane for a long time.

What do you class as mid size? 

42152 - Firefighter Plane

This is an old car, TLG always releases something new.

The McLaren P1 is even older and yet it replaced the Daytona. 

Mid size is 40-70$ for me, but it is very subjective.
