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. Oh indeed, I found the 3d rotating video on lego.com too, it's visible there. Weird photo angle.. But the little truck looks cool :) Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted November 28, 2024 Posted November 28, 2024 It's great to have Monster Jam back, and TLG couldn't have picked a better truck for its return. Quote
R0Sch Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 This is indeed bright light orange. Makes me wonder why the small backhoe wasn't done in the same color scheme and slapped on with a 5€ JCB license on top.https://www.jb-spielwaren.de/lego-42199-monster-jam-digatron/a-42199/ Quote

Still don't get what the submarine has to do with the JCB or the backhoe that was mentioned above. Are trying to refer to yellow submarines? Quote

Jockos Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 (edited) 10 minutes ago, gyenesvi said: And what does JCB have to do with submarines? There is nothing JCB has to do with submarines. I think they are referring to the bright light orange colour used on DIGatron (JCB license) as opposed to any other yellow coloured set (which doesn't have a license). So JCB ordered TLG to have DIGatron in that specific bright light orange, and TLG decided (?) not to make any other unlicensed set with this colour. I hope I figured it out correctly.. :D Also, now I hope summer brings us a proper JCB Backhoe set in BLO. Edited December 3, 2024 by Jockos Quote

R0Sch Posted December 3, 2024 Posted December 3, 2024 All understood, that JCB wants their yellow to be different, but why the backhoe was not licensed too with JCB color, when we had sets as small as polybags with Volvo license, is still not logical. Quote

I agree with this, but perhaps idea was one licensed set per year? Quote
AVCampos Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 If the backhoe were licensed, people would complain that it'd look nothing like the JCB model it was labelled as. Quote
