Alasdair Ryan Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 It looks fantastic. Both RM8 and Lego made a great job on producing this limited addition model. I bet this set is going to see like 'hot-cakes'..... Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Looks great! I see they changed seats, the side grill seems to be deeper, no roof lamps, but they added control arms in the cab (proboably for winch?) Love the DkBlue! Quote
hrontos Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I wonder about the steering. Picture looks like rear axle is not steered. Quote
Thebicyclestory Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Both axles are steered. No question about that. I like the color scheme a lot. Quote
UrbanErwin Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Are those rims printed because they don't look plain black? Edit: I found my answer on reply #305 Edited March 22, 2013 by UrbanErwin Quote
Paul Boratko Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Are those new Blue parts metallic chrome..? I've never seen a regular Lego part reflect like that.. Look above the front wheel fender.. You can see the reflection... Edit, nevermind, they are just blue..The darker color gives that reflective appearance... Edited March 22, 2013 by Paul Boratko Quote
OzBen Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 The Aussies on the forum may recognise this, Boss crawler reminds me of the Holden overlander, an off road ute based on the production Holden HZ ute. i used to see the odd one around when i was younger but havent seen one in a few years Quote
captainmib Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Oh wow! This certainly looks good. I like the blue, is it different from normal blue (like the pins and stuff?) Will this set be sold as whole set, or just the new top? Quote

Will this set be sold as whole set, or just the new top? Yes, it is dark blue, so it is different from the pins. It will be sold as a whole set, as you see it, not just the new top. Quote
piterx Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Lovely... I didnt want the old one. But this one is quite tempting Quote
Meatman Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Oh wow. This is much better than I thought that it was going to be. Quote
Andy D Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) Wow! That is really nice. Looks like the front and rear could be independent, could make for some interesting steering options. Great colors and design. Andy D Edited March 22, 2013 by Andy D Quote
Meatman Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Wow! That is really nice. Looks like the front and rear could be independent, could make for some interesting steering options. Great colors and design. Andy D Isn't the chassis the same as the 9398? Or did they alter that? Quote
Zerobricks Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Can we merge this topic with boss one? Seems like there are 2 on same subject. Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 That looks great, like a General Lee on steriods. Quote
Andy D Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Isn't the chassis the same as the 9398? Or did they alter that? Sorry, I have been out of the loop, Technic-wise, not familiar with the 9398. I was just commenting on what I thought was a neat feature in this one. Thanks, Andy D Quote

Sardo Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Stunning ! love the blue color, really makes the car come to life Quote
Rishab N Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 BLUE 5x11 panels!!! looks gorgeous though i dont like the red body with blue... Quote
TechnicMan73 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I really like the blue! Cant wait for this model. Thanks RM8 for all you hard work in doing the research and building this! Great Job Quote
TasV Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) The Aussies on the forum may recognise this, Boss crawler reminds me of the Holden overlander, an off road ute based on the production Holden HZ ute. i used to see the odd one around when i was younger but havent seen one in a few years @ OzBen... that's exactly what I thought of when I saw it the first time too! Haven't seen one in years. I would see them quite a bit when I lived in Moree back in the mid 90's as they were popular hunting vehicles. Just the other day I was looking at my own (VZ) Holden Crewman Ute and wondering how I could mod it to be like an Overlander! I decided the build of the current utes were a far cry from the sturdiness of the old HZ and that this was a stupid idea LOL! Was also thinking of how I could MOC the good old Aussie 1 Tonner Ute!!! Imagine a regional release of the Lego One Tonner at the Great Aussie Ute Muster!!! Awesome! This is the first time I've noticed the winch on the front of this model. Does it work or is it just for decoration? I think a functional winch is a cool idea for those who want to take their crawlers outside so there really isn't any obstacle they can't get up and over! How nice would it be to see this set with a silver chromed bullbar/winch!!! If it's going to be a limited edition as I heard mentioned it would be possible for TLC to make a short run of these chromed parted for it surely. Edited March 23, 2013 by TasV Quote
