LEGO Technic Material Handler (42144) & Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145) Revealed

June 1, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has published the Taiwanese 2HY Catalog here it shows two more LEGO Technic sets that are supposed to be coming soon, the Material Handler (42144) and Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter (42145).

There haven’t been many larger scale Technic aircrafts that have been released in recent years so the helicopter should bode well for fans unless there’s another cancellation. We already know what happened with the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) a few years ago due to it being a military vehicle. There is a H175M that is used in the UK as a military derivative so we’ll see if it actually gets released or gets axed at the last minute again.

Billund, June 1st, 2022: The LEGO Group today announces its launch of the “A-Z of Awesome’, an ongoing campaign which runs into 2023 using LEGO builds to celebrate inclusivity and embrace self-expression in the LGBTQIA+ community.

The A-Z will be developed in creative LEGO creations to help LGBTQIA+ families use play to have open conversations about their identities.

Launching during Pride Month, the alphabet aims to build understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community and the different abbreviations used.

‘The A-Z of Awesome’ aims to present the community’s vocabulary more widely through a fun and playful medium. The LEGO Group is inviting submissions including an explanation of what the build means to its creator, which will be featured on a dedicated website www.LEGO.com/AtoZ.
