chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 ok i went to my local TRU today and i found this and some other cool sets (which i took pics of) but anyways this technic crane set contains 1884 peices if i remember the boom was 46 inches extended and the crane truck its self was 36 inches i dont remember the exact lenght it comes with 2 penumatics pistons a motor and batter box and there is a switch so when you move it the motor extends the arm and then when you switch it the othter way it raises and lowers the string with hook on it. the stabilizer legs come down and the boom rotates 360 degres maby one of the admins could put this up a news on the home page of eurobricks..i dont know the release date of this Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 WOW!! A great Technic crane! Do you know if it has steering? (from the picture, it looks like it does). How about the price? Quote
chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Author Posted June 2, 2005 right sorry i did not include that yeah it has all wheel crab steering and it cost 200$ (thats canadian dollars) im asking for this beast for christmas Quote
The Middleman Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 That is pretty beastly. Too expensive for me, though. Quote
chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Author Posted June 2, 2005 yeah it is pretty expensive but i guess thats what christmass is for ;) Quote
The Middleman Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 yeah it is pretty expensive but i guess thats what christmass is for ;) Nah, Christmas is for Death Stars and Sandcrawlers... ;) Quote
chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Author Posted June 2, 2005 ahh rite :( now i dont know what im gonna ask for maby all 3 of them ;) Quote
sam89 Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 That is an awesome set. 1884 pieces! :o And it's good to see that Lego are going back to Technic sets with studs. I'm looking forward to pics of the finished set ;) Quote
chewie Posted June 2, 2005 Author Posted June 2, 2005 yeah i was like to my mom so how about buying it now? of course she said no but yes it definatley will look awsome built Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Does it have any alternative models? According to this picture (see below), it does have 2 instructions with 1 alternative model. But on the downside...battries :( Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 yes it does have a second model Speaking of alternative models, what in the world is a "Aerial Lift"? Quote
chewie Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 yes it does have a second model Speaking of alternative models, what in the world is a "Aerial Lift"? im pretty sure this is what it is. Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Oh...So that is what it is...I see alot of these thing around here but I never knew they were called "aerial lifts" Quote
chewie Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 why where do you live?..and yes that is what it is Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Don't worry, I live here in the U.S. (the strangest country in the world I bet :P ). I never knew they were called aerial lifts because I have to expand my vocabulary a bit. :$ ;) And in my state we commonly call them "platform lifts" or "boom lifts" Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 We call a similar kind of lift "scissor lifts". I also recollect that TLC actually made a scissor lift as part of their older Town line. Real Version LEGO Version Quote
chewie Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 hey yeah i actually made a scissor lift out of 1x16 technic beams and then i stuck a penumatic piston in it like the realy thing it was pretty cool Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 3, 2005 Governor Posted June 3, 2005 Actually this doesn't look too bad from the pictures of the box. There is hope for LEGO afterall. Of course until posessing the set this cannot be confirmed. Quote
chewie Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 what can not be confirmed that lego is shapeing up after all? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 3, 2005 Governor Posted June 3, 2005 It cannot be confirmed that LEGO is shaping up with their designs until one actually owns them and has built, or at least seen them for oneself. Not just looked at a picture on a box or worse still, over the Internet. That's not the same as actually having the thing in ones hand. Did you like my use of "one" there? Quote
chewie Posted June 3, 2005 Author Posted June 3, 2005 ha good job with the "one" and other wise so very true i mean once you have the set (be it of any set) then you can really say its an awsome set Quote
The Middleman Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Phes, I think you have a rather bleak outlook on LEGO if it takes this to raise your hopes... what about all the other great themes? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 4, 2005 Governor Posted June 4, 2005 Maybe I haven't made myself clear enough. I'm saying I can't judge this set, or any other LEGO set properly until I have seen it in the real world. Not just from pictures. Quote
