I'll probably get it, but it won't be better than

I'd put a vote in for the 8868 turntable jucntion as the most complex Lego

Like you I will get one when they are available, if only to be chassis

Someone else mentioned the wheels look like those on the tow truck.  I
think they're closer to the Turbo Command car.
