[Auroralampinen]

It's hard to discern from the render, but could those parts be keetorange instead of regular yellow?

They are. It's JCB yellow!

[_Electro_]

I think it looks like thay forgot to finish them, previous monster truck's looks better 

[Maaboo the Witch]

DIGatron looks pretty fabulous if you ask me. Looks like it has the backhoe as well. Cool use of robot arms for the bucket on the front. Roof sticker's a bit of a turn-off, but JCB!

JCB!

I was initially somewhat dismissive toward ThunderROARus, but damn it looks uh-mazing! Rare grey panel-o-rama, and the red Bohrok eyes make great claws. I did envision the classic BIONICLE claw, but they've been out of production for a while, and the scale would probably look wrong.

Also, first pair of Monster Jam trucks to not use bright orange wheel hubs! Although Dalmatian's red rims are no longer unique.

Sad pupper.

ThunderROARus

2391 7L flip flop in LBG new

Not 100% sure but looks like #3(64683) and #4(64391) on LBG is possible and if it is real, that is also new.

Panel 3x11 #5(64681) and #6(64393) in LBG is very rare(last and first release is 1set on 2010)

14720 I beam on black is rare

71708 2x3 quarter beam on LBG is rare

 

DIGatron

32063 6L half stud thick beam on BLO is new

10202 tile 6x6 on BLO is new

32348 4-4 bent beam on BLO is very rare(last release is 2005)

Not 100% sure but in my eyes those wheel(56145) looke like BLO. If it is real, that is also new. If it is yellow, it it not new or rare.

Almost every other BLO parts came first on mclaren except 2x4 beam(include on 42147 too)

They already appeared in 42130.

It is 3x5 #1(87080) and #2(87086) which used on side. But that is also rare too.

That's a nice LBG parts pack! Not too many new parts, but it's nice for those panels to be more accessible. I actually haven't gotten any of those tractor tires yet, so that could be a good parts pack to pick up sometime!

[NV Lego technic]

Nice that we are finally getting tractor tyres. Now the only thing is to remove the bumper. I might buy the thunderoarus because it seems like a good parts pack.

Where do you see these panels? I cant see them.

[Maaboo the Witch]

The panels at the back of ThunderROARus look like 3x11 versions to me.

Inside on mouth. Maybe it is 2x5.

They are.

Hate it when LEGO "cancels" and shortly after resumes a collection but somehow different/improved. Now all the previous Monster Jam sets look bad without the tractor tires... I'd rather have seen new wider balloon tractor tires with bouncy rubber compound but at this rudimentary level of detail it makes no sense.

At least we won't have to replace the tyres this time.

Lol. The replacement tires cost more than the set itself.

[AVCampos]

With their introduction in these two cheap sets, hopefully their price will go down.

[Maaboo the Witch]

They've already been featured in an even cheaper set this year.

Looks like an cool little parts pack, what shades of blue are those?

The way the front axle is mounted on this one looks weird / asymmetric, even the spacing seems wrong (like it would not fit). Does anyone understand how that is?

Illusion of perspective. The LBG parts right below the bumper are further forward than the axle which is mounted with two 3x3 T-liftarms but due to the viewing angle it appears as if the DGB T-part is actually under the LBG part.
