After several weeks of (intended?) leaks and gossip all over the internet, Lego finally does what we all expected it to do a week before Fathers Day: It released the much anticipated Crocodile! As expected, it’s based on the Swiss Railways Class Ce 6\/8 II<\/a>. The model will be 7 wide, which is a first for TLC, and is meant both as a display model and combined with the Powered Up! Hub (88009<\/a>) and a L-motor (88013<\/a>), controlled by the Powered Up! app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
