LEGO Liebherr R 9800 Excavator – Official pics and description

Early this year, the biggest LEGO Technic Set ever, as of 2019, was revealed to be a model of the Liebherr R 9800 Excavator. Images and details have then been pretty minimal with some small reveals by Liebherr and LEGO themselves but no real release date was released. We are now pleased to see that it will likely be released in early October 2019 thanks to a listing by German Toy site LuckyBricks and the information from fellow German LEGO fan media, Promobricks.
