January 27, 201411 yr Thanks, I was pretty shocked of that mention of 8081 wheels.So everything is fine and I cant wait for this pickup rather than for wheel loader(Im not fan of lego fully motorized vehicles) .
January 27, 201411 yr Looking at the bad picture, I see that bonnet is like in 9395 made by big fairing panels 5x11. Doors like in 8265b model (or 41999 but reversed fairing) : curved 3x11 + big long fairing panel 3x11. Base is long. Short cab. Lights on the roof. Independent suspension 4wd with 3 differentials Front hog steering V6 or v8 under the bonnet Openable bonnet, doors, tilting bed Winch Hope they add some new functions , like low gear or 2wd/4wd selector, cause all functions are old and simple. (even 8297 has adjustable suspension and doors with absorbers). But its very playable in my eyes. Since its a pickup, solid rear axle is better. May be this truck is something like baja trophy truck. Anyways, I want to pimp it. P.s. 2 days to Nuremberg Toy Fair 2014:) Edited January 27, 201411 yr by rm8
January 27, 201411 yr I hope is not true, that this heavy pickup will have that low profile 8081 wheels on final model.That balon tyres from preliminary looks great for this kind of vehicle.Wheels from 8081 looks bad even on 8081 himself. 8081 doesn't have low profile tyres ...... but yes, the tyres on the new pick-up are the same as 42005 tyres ......

January 27, 201411 yr Independent suspension 4wd with 3 differentials Front hog steering V6 or v8 under the bonnet Openable bonnet, doors, tilting bed Winch You have drawn those conclusions based on this picture -> http://tinypic.com/v...=5#.UuYOy2Q1i2w ? Or have I missed one that came later? Edited January 27, 201411 yr by peter_m
January 27, 201411 yr You have drawn those conclusions based on this picture -> http://tinypic.com/v...=5#.UuYOy2Q1i2w ? Or have I missed one that came later? Yes, just 1 pic. Almost every year Lego introduces the same functions in new models:) may be 2-3 new parts, that improve construction, but no new functions...
January 27, 201411 yr Yeah, just 1 pic, but not that one leaked... Maybe the remaining part of it. And it also has stickers on the doors and bonnet. And a couple of ribbed hoses.
January 27, 201411 yr Bonnet doesn have any 5x11 panels. It is made of two "Technic, Panel Fairing #17 Large Smooth" Between them is not 5x11 panel but opening for engine, which sticks out.
January 27, 201411 yr IIRC this going to be first car set with 4WD in medium range .Interesting why this happen?Can be new steering pieces main cause? I think that this set will have huge success, it seems that will have everything that kids are expecting from car like this.Packed in fairy big model and non supercar price tag. But it seems, that also my dream of car like this come true :-) .
January 27, 201411 yr No, I'm not sure! Just I'd not bet it is. There is enough pseudo offroaders with rear wheel drive in LEGO history....
January 27, 201411 yr There is enough pseudo offroaders with rear wheel drive in LEGO history.... Lego is for new children not for the ones who have seen a lot of sets .
January 27, 201411 yr Lego is for new children not for the ones who have seen a lot of sets . Technical progress made it possible to do such simple things like 4wd. Why not? Of course, we can do it by ourselves, but fact that set is 4wd is a good promotion for this set, that can be used in advertising company! Y
January 27, 201411 yr Are you sure? No 4wd?? Actually .... the full name is Customized Pick up Truck, so I also believe, that is just RWD .... extra diff and parts for front wheel drive, would make higher price for the model ...
January 27, 201411 yr Actually .... the full name is Customized Pick up Truck, so I also believe, that is just RWD .... extra diff and parts for front wheel drive, would make higher price for the model ... Sad. Ok, baja truck also RWD....
January 28, 201411 yr Specially for davidmull: the Nuremburg Toy Fair 2014 starts tomorrow, so we should be expecting decent pictures (and video) of the 2H lineup very soon!

January 28, 201411 yr I'm really anxious to see the Bulldozer for some reason and of course the Front Loader.
January 28, 201411 yr Regarding these new pictures. Will they stay or do they risk being removed? I'm asking so i know how closely to monitor this thread in tomorrow. TB removed some posts last fall that i didn't get to see regarding the 1h sets and another regarding the loader that i did get to see even though it only mentioned the real thing without saying anything if it would be a model, even though it of course did become one. Now i'm worried about pictures being posted and then deleted before i have time to save them. Funny BTW how this forum works. 51 pages yet only one picture each of two of the three sets we are waiting for. And those were blurry. Then again it is called discussion and speculation not rate these pictures.
January 28, 201411 yr I'm really anxious to see the Bulldozer for some reason and of course the Front Loader. For a small model, it looks excellent.. It has a very creatively designed front blade using small panels and a V4 Engine...
January 28, 201411 yr I think it is the first time we will see a triangular shape tracked drivetrain, into an official set.
January 28, 201411 yr I think it is the first time we will see a triangular shape tracked drivetrain, into an official set. 8275. All I'm gonna say. I think the 42006 b model also has triangle tracks. Then there are the snowmobiles...
