It's toy fair season at the moment where toy companies showcase their new and upcoming toys.  These images were captured at the Toronto Toy fare in Canada.

Lego Technic Excavator - set 8043

From the box we can see it contains 1123 parts and is aimed at 11-16 year olds.  The arm does have 3 degrees of articulation, the top half rotates,  and the tracks are driven.  This gives 6 motions with only 4 motors and 4 available controls from the remote control, so it looks like there'll be some form of switching mechanism between the 6 functions.

Lego Technic Container Truck - set 8052

Again from the box the set contains 686 parts and is aimed at ages 10 - 16 years old.  The truck is fitted with one Power Functions motor that looks like a medium sized one.  Presumably to load and offload the container.  The container can either be tipped as in a tipper truck, or offloaded to the back.  This looks like it's selected by a small gearbox on the side of the truck.

Lego Technic Mobile Crane - set 8053

The set contains 1289 parts and is aimed at 11-16 years.  The model doesn't appear to contain any Power Functions motors so presumably everything is manually driven.  The crane has unusual outriggers to stabilise the it.  They appear to form a large x, each swinging out from the side.  Looks like thumb type screws on each stabiliser leg.  The cranes hook is rather odd considering they didn't use the existing hook and pulley parts.  It'll be interesting how heavy a weight this crane will be able to lift with only one Linear Actuator.

Lego Technic Motorbike - set 8051

487 Lego parts aimed at 9 to 16 year olds.  The wheels on the bike look like new parts - wider than any other motor bike produced in the past.  This looks like a very detailed build using lots of small parts.
