Werlu Ulcur Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 According to Brickset the new 42041 has 607 pieces, while the older 8041 version has 611. Pics look exactly the same, and with both the second model is a race car that also looks the same . A few weeks ago I ordered the 42041 (will be here in a few days) and at the time I wasn't aware of the older version. I'm not complaining, since looking at prices on BL I see that for the 42041 I basically paid 60-70% of the price of a new 8041. So what am I missing? Quote
DrJB Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 This has already been discussed at length in a multitude of threads. The two sets are essentially identical. The small differences are because some parts got upgraded due to a mold re-design. Quote
TheNextLegoDesinger Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 they are the same exept the wheels the 8041 has 3 pinholes and the 42041 has 6 Quote
Werlu Ulcur Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks! Good to know I got the same for less . Quote
zux Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Rebrickable has a "compare sets" feature and gives you exact answer Quote
Werlu Ulcur Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks zux! That's a pretty handy tool, I never thought of using Rebrickable for that. Quote
