8292 Cherry Picker - good set?

[em121231]

I am re-entering in the lego world after a long time. Never really had a full Technic set, so i thought this is the time to get one.

Is the 8292 a good set to start with? Does it have diverse and usefull pieces? I am getting it for 60E (hope the seller's website is updated... both stock and price), which is a good price here considering that , although i live in europe , lego prices are very high compared to neighbouring countries.

I found the same set on other local webshops for 100E, mad eh? :)

Can you recommend me a different set in a budget of... 50-60E?

I don't have the set but from what I have read and seen it is a good set.

I think it has plenty of scope for MODing.

It's a pretty good set, probably one of the best in that size range during the last few years. The 8294 excavator is another good one with the same price, although it doesn't include any PF components.

Neither of these sets are flawless, but they would still be a great introduction to the world of Technic.

8292 was my reintroduction to the world of technic, and I think it's a really good set.
