    I see there are rumours out at this stage on sets with names but no pics yet. Also noted is a gap for 42025 which might be something big!?

    Well, list already sounds cool as hell.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,777 ✭✭✭g0g


    Came across this too with some more speculation, although no idea on the accuracy of it! :) 42024 sounds like only one I might be interested in and maybe the other one if one get announced later.
    42020 Twin-Rotor Helicopter - It's a small set, circa £9.99 it's like a chinook helicopter, uses shot blades only about 8 studs long per blade, both sets of blades rotate, but that's about it. It's blue and black in colour, maybe 4- studs wide by 16 studs long.

    42021 Snowmobile - It's a small/medium 1st half set, black and lime green in colour, maybe £20 - £25 at a guess, only technic functions appear to be steering, front suspension, and a rear track, can't see if there is a lego engine or not, but I suspect there might be a little 2 cylinder one.

    42022 Hot Rod - This was almost model team quality in terms of looks, maybe a £35 set, has a V6 lego engine up front, the hot rod is blue in colour, and the front half (engine and steering is light blue grey). Nice looking set, but again limited technic functions

    42023 Construction Crew - This is a nice set, although slightly lacking compared to what people are hoping. It's a set with no figures (sorry to disappoint). It's a set made up of three construction vehicles, all 3 models are about 20 studs in length by about 8 - 10 studs wide. There is a 6 wheel american style dump truck, blue big rig shape cab, light grey tipper, functions appear to be steering and tipping. There is a red excavator, looks to have minimal functions, maybe 1 [/font]dig/lift function and finally a yellow loader, on a similar scale to 8453, maybe a tad smaller. I think this is a nice mixed set, with a likely price range of £49.99

    42024 Container Truck - This is the highlight of the sets (possibly not including the special set which is normally added later) It's a European style Skip Truck, 6 wheels, similar scale (wheel size) to the flatbed truck of the other year. It has a Yellow Cab, Red lifting arms and comes with a Blue Skip. Likely also a £49.99 set. Power functions can be added but are not included. It's functions appear to be steering, and loading the skip. I guess you will be able to tip the skip as well. No sign of an engine. Looks like the truck below, but imagine with a yellow cab and the blue bits are red.

    42026 Black Champion Racer. This is a simple £9.99 pull back racer

    42027 Desert Racer. This is a simple £9.99 pull back racer

    Damn, I expexted the racer sets to be big ones. :( Still, love them so far.

    42024 Container Truck:

    I was driving behind a skip truck last week and thought they would make a pretty cool set.

    I just hoe it will have solid walls like in the Unimog set, not the skeleton carcass.

    Found info on another of the sets:
    Top set of 1H will be a HUGE cargo aircraft with price about 150 Euro. It will be equipped with L motor. Functions:
    retracting chassis,
    opening rear platform,
    lifting whole cabin to open access to cargo bay,
    rotating propellers
    And a stick near the tail that controls ailerons and flaps.

    No idea if it's true or not but seems to be a good bit of talk about it. Apparently TechnicBricks.com had something much more detailed up but had to take it down - anyone see that?

    2014 sets starting to be announced.

    http://brickset.com/news/article/?ID=8036

    Looks really good to me, however a bit on the small scale, looks about the same size or smaller than 8109

    It's something different which is welcome, but I think the execution looks poor from those admittedly not great photos. Wonder if it's the same designer as 42008.

    Not a single set that I would even remotely want :(.

    I like the Skip truck, not so sure on the Cargo plane, although I'll hold out final judgement until I see what the B models are like and pricing.

    Very little interest in the smaller models myself though.

    Definitely picking up the plane... and that's it. I was curious about the snow mobile, but having seen it there's not a hope I'm touching it. Hate these pull back yokes, really do feel the standard has been pretty poor lately.

    The only thing I can see in a plane - a good source of white panels and parts. :pac:

    When will these be out? I've only recently started with lego technic so would like to expand my collection :)

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,460 ✭✭✭Oafley Jones



    That plane looks great, definitely picking it up. Skip loader looks worse every time I see it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,452 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    Review of the Snowmobile http://brickset.com/news/article/?ID=8693

    I think the plane is a bit plain (sorry) without the stickers on it, the pictures in the above review are a bit bland imo. I'll still be getting it though.

    Another review of the Cargo Plane http://www.technicbricks.com/2013/11/tbs-techreview-29-42025-cargo-plane.html

    Some news (well speculation) about the h2 sets here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85899&st=875#entry1777628. A Hungarian site has published prices and piece counts for two h2 sets. A lot of speculation that the flagship model may be RC with the price/piece count.

    If flagship going to be an RC car/truck, then I am going to be a very happy bunny. I have to be honest, mk2 crane was a disappointing flagship ( for me).


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,994 Mod ✭✭✭✭sullivlo


    I've ordered the little helicopter on Lego.com (to get the free shipping :D) so will post up when I get it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    I have to say 42024 is growing on me. I think I will get it for sure when it is available again. Though date got changed 3 times today alone on lego.com...
    Those wheels will become very handy.

    The planes has a lot of white parts that I would kill for, but 130eu is not worth it. Way too overprised in my eyes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,452 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    Flagship model this year appears to be a Volvo L350F Front Loader. It will apparently be fully RC. The only picture I can find is this fuzzy one http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2vcztee&s=5#.UthYbbSFOp4

    Aye, it is floating on euro bricks for some time. I have to say that I am very very disappointed. I was glad to hear RC bit, but god dammit... another construction vehicle! :mad:

    The sad thing is, that most likely I will buy it because of all the Motors and servo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,460 ✭✭✭Oafley Jones


    Argos are taking forever with the new sets. Have an all-for-one voucher thats crying out to be used.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,452 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    Can it be used in Smyths? According to the Smyths website some of the new sets are already in stock in some stores.
