2025 Technic Sets Discussion

[Ngoc Nguyen]

The Dump truck is probably gonna be a modern revision of this. It's the dump truck from 42023, with 321 pieces.

 

At this scale I can't imagine which functions it might have besides tipping bed, opening tailgate, and HOG steering. Rear wheel drive + fake engine is very unlikely at this scale.

I hope it will be at least a 4 axle truck. But I still can't understand how can it be so expensive? 42167 was licensed and was 35 € with higher part count.

It must be the Lego tax...

Maybe it is a pullback or dump function is pneumatic

I can hardly imagine having pullback in a dump truck, but pneumatics are possible.

Another polybag coming in an upcoming issue of the Technic magazine (in December in Italy)

Looks okay, better than the Pollybag. Sadly there is no technic magazines on Serbia .

[Jockos]

I've been thinking about the dump truck, and some ideas came to my mind. It can also look like 42114.

This is interesting this little set uses more black 2L axles than bigger technic sets so if you need more of those 2L axles in black this is a great partspack:)

But i have one issue with this set this should be a fire truck but the last piece on boom top of cab should had yellow cone piece(part number 4589) because city fire trucks have that and this set there is just light bluish grey piece with empty hole so now i have noticed this lack its bothering me now so much that its just hurting my eyes

I'm trying to put this truck together:

There is an unfamiliar axle hole at the 'tip' of the red 3x1x2 quater ellipse piece

Yes! In the quarter ellipse part we already know, the axle hole is located in the corner (and the other holes are pin holes). Weird!

Could this be the marketing team changing how something looks? Like what happened with the two buckets/one bucket thing with the recent volvo excavator and truck set?

[anyUser]

It'll work with the known piece (71708):

I've counted 81 parts:

part count + ~ photo added

[Stereo]

I imagine the difference is it uses black 7L beams instead of pairs of 6s, so they stick out behind the rear tires.  The rest seems visibly correct although the position of the wheels on the polybag photo is kinda weird.

Oh yes! What the hell has happened to the front "axle"? How are these parts supposed to fit to appear like in that image?

Not that LEGO gives two dead flies about what I think, but 2024 and 2025's offerings have left me completely underwhelmed. The few sets I bought this year were not 'new' introductions, and I see nothing on the horizon that will change that in 2025. CaDA - please come to my rescue!

<sigh>

For me, only 42175 saved 2024 from the margins of total disaster.

Sadly 2025 looks to be another dull, uninspired car fest, though we are getting the first ever JCB-branded set!

Let's hope that Lego will not repeat the same mistake as with CLAAS...

How do you know they "lost" the license?
