2025 Technic Sets Discussion

[Amt0571]

We need a proper backhoe, a telehandler and a forklift that don't cost more than 250€ and have proper pneumatic/motor functions.

We don't need more cars with barely any function, or 450€ cars with a gearbox that can't be seen. It's that easy. I don't get what they're doing.

It is very simple, they are making sets which masses are buying

And forklift and a telehandler at that price? I would agree. But a backhoe? I wouldn't want to tie the designers hands by limiting them to a price point, not for a proper, flagship of flagships, fully pneumatic JCB backhoe. Make is as big and as costly as it needs to be. The bucket wheel excavator had to be quite big t do what it does, and I think a properly good backhoe would be the same. While 8455 is a legend, it does miss out many functions of a JCB, such as an opening/closing front bucket, rear side shift, rear telescoping boom, pendular front axle and 4 wheel drive. A super powerful motorized compressor would also be very nice (one farty little motor pump ain't gonna cut it! It's functions need speed and POWAH to replicate the real thing) At a price of 250, I think they'd have to leave out too much potential.

You can already get a backhoe with all of those functions minus the boom in the scale of CLAAS tractor tires at the cost of around ~ 200$. There's no need for a motorized compressor, so the remaining 50$ can totally go to the rear digging arm. Therefore it's totally possible for TLG to produce a fully functional pneumatic backhoe at 250$. It's just that I'm not sure they would do it.

Alternate model of 42157. Except the digging arm and the outriggers it has everything that you may think of for a backhoe. It even has 3 steering modes.

Oh... I didn't read it's missing the digging arm.  I'd like something like 8455, but they're too expensive used.

Guys you are hilarious! Fantastic work BTW, also for @Ngoc Nguyen! I always wonder why people are mad about Lego not producing this or that. While the solution is just a few bugs and a download away.

When will we get some info's about the summer sets? 

I can give you that info right now: just more cars

I’d pay out the nose for a proper RC backhoe.  It doesn’t even have to be pneumatic.  That, or a function loaded tow truck, are about the only technic models I’d be willing to pay more than $250-$300 USD for.  

I don’t care about the cars and motorcycles, except they do have some nice assortment of panels.  From a technical perspective though, I find construction equipment more interesting.

I am not really into construction machinery, but a 42070 remaster of sorts would be cool, with RC operated everything and actual suspension If I have parts and time to do it, I will, although I am more focused on buwizz camp next year and faster models.

How about a mini 42070 

[NV Lego technic]

I'll leave that to you

Leaks for 2025 summer sets are already flowing for the other themes. I guess Technic should be leaked soon too.

Another car, I can't get more excited than this. I bet it will be the same scale as supra to pump the sales, a lot of people will  have to buy both now

If Nissan Skyline GT-R is coming, I hope there will finally be a 3x7 panel in LBG. A MOC of mine will really appreciate that part.

Of course, if I may speak in name of members who are fan of Technic Cars, (reliable) source would be nice...
