Fuzzock Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Did I miss something, or does this feel to soon? Ian... Quote
Maaboo the Witch Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Same thing with 42061. Maybe it just didn't sell. Not surprising, since 42097 is not a commonly seen piece of equipment and thus wouldn't sell well with people who wouldn't know what the hell it is. 42061 still baffles me though, since telehandlers are pretty common.

suffocation Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Pity 'cause it's a decent part pack. Edited May 20, 2020 by suffocation Quote

Perhaps Lego plans to make another telehandler in 2021? Quote

Ian... 8295 was actually released twelve years ago, in 2008. Why did 42061 not gel with you, though? Was it 'coz you liked 8295 so much that no other telehandler could touch it? Or did it put you off telehandlers forever? Edited May 20, 2020 by Maaboo35 Quote

Was it 'coz you liked 8295 so much that no other telehandler could touch it? Or did it put you off telehandlers forever? I was thinking of the gap between the models initially, however I think it is very much that at the time I liked the 8295 so much that the 42061 was a folly to me. Glad to say that I grew up *cough* from that thinking... Ian... Quote
msk6003 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I still don't know about 42061 why lego made new 3 hole bucket and use only 2 model. This bucket is looks batter than before. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Hm, the USA site does not say 42097 is retiring soon, there is no sign of it going away. Quote

The Cobra Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Some LCS in Italy are selling 42097 30% off. Quote
