BrickSet的一點新消息
http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=531
It looks like being a great year for Technic with four sets due in August including a motorised excavator with 4 motors and 4 linear actuators, and a mobile crane.

1. With Regards the Excavator, are we looking at something like the 8294 "tracked digger" or is it more like the 8455 "backhoe"? I have found it a bit tricky with the names as I was brought up in the dear old Blighty tradition with "diggers / excavators" covering both "Tracked Excavators" and "Backhoe Loaders"!
2. What colour are they going for with the Excavator? We have seen both Red and Yellow recently... are they settling on one? I suppose I should also ask about stickers here too.
3. Will this be the "Flagship" Technic model of 2010? if so what sort of size are we looking at? 1800+ pieces? As meccanotwitchs mentions above I'd love to see a really big Technic set with a lot of working details too. Can you go into any more detail about the construction? Is it continuing the recent "brickless" builds?
4. I am aware that you stated the kit as having 4 actuators and 4 motors but were you able to see if the bucket moved independently of the boom arm? I have been tempted by some of the "diggers" in the past but I really don't like the idea of having the "scooping" motion of the bucket controlled for me.

your Qs 1 and 2 are answered by the picture linked to by lust2luv (which incidentally is from the retailers' catalogue and I should really delete the link from here but seeing as it's been around for an age, I'll leave it)
Q3, there appear to be twp flagship products. The excavator will cost £140, I think, and come with PF components. The crane will be nearer £100 and won't come with PF, but they can be added. It looks very similar to 8421: 8 wheels, yellow, low cab, etc. but it uses a linear actuator to raise the boom. It might actually be a late addition to the lineup because it's not in the main retailers' catalogue: only on a flyer that came with it.
Q4, yes it is operated independently, with a LA.
The 'container truck' also uses a LA to operate the mechansim to unload the 'container' although it's not strictly a container at all: the vehicle more like one of those large skip lorries you have probably seen at your local tip.
The motorbike is red (again) and like all Technic bikes looks wicked :)
No more pneumatics this year, or limited edition ones, at least through normal retail channels.

With regards the container truck, it wouldn't be anything like 6668 "Recycle Truck" would it?
版主續答
yes it's a technic version of 6668, in blue. The container/skip is half-height though, and open at the top. It's probably 40cm long or so. It and the bike are both well over 500 pieces.
