What are the best B models?

[dandelion]

Conversely, what are the best B models? I'm at a loose end, have never built the B models for 9396 Helicopter, 8069 Backhoe, 8052 Container Truck, 8053 Mobile Crane, 8043 Excavator, 8071 Bucket Truck. Which should I build first?

I'd say either the 9396, the 8053, or the 8043. Definitely not the 8052.

Agreed with those who said 8421 and 8265 - VERY disappointing considering the quality of the main models.

Set 8285 has in my opinion one of the best B-model in existence.

From your list, I'd go with 8043 because it's quick, and fun as heck to play with.

Yeah, +1 for the 8053's uniqueness.

the 8258 b model's pickup is in my opinion one of the best b models;-)
