uminog VS Volvo L350F

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

firtst i wanted to buy the Volvo but now I found the uminog and i was thinking witch i should buy?

[zweihander]

I would say go for the Unimog. It's such a beauty, and it's getting rare by the day. Volvo is new, so it will be around for some time.

It also depends on what kind of parts you want. Volvo has quite a broad range of pf elements, but the Unimog has pneumatic elements.

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

yeah i know but the uminog is € 120 more expensive

If you want the Unimog, go for it while you still can. You'll be able to get the Volvo later.

EDIT: the Unimog is 120 Euros more expensive? With the number of PF elements the Volvo has, that sounds weird.

Buy the Unomog, way better, Volvo is only good for parts to build the one from M-Longer.

The Unimog was the worst set I have ever bought but I am just a MOC builder not a collector and a machinery lover too, just my opinion.

[N-4K0]

Yeah, I bought it for parts and didn't care so much about flaws, but the steering was poor.

Yeah, I bought it for parts and didn't care so much about flaws, but the steering was poor.

Nicjasno fixed that. But get the Unimog, I built at least three MOC's out of the majority of its parts.

[MajklSpajkl]

I believe the price is already blown up, because the UNIMOG is already out of production...

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

is it full RC control or not?

[Rockbrick]

get the unimog sell it 6 months later and I'd be suprised if you can't buy 2 major sets out of it ....

[Mikuri]

The Unimog without hesitation.

If I'll buy it it will be for the rest of my Lego Day's

The Unimog was probably the most disappointing technic set I've bought. There's nothing wrong with it, but it was super-hyped, hard to live up to that.

Things that bug me with it:

- too big

- poor performance of functions (steering, crane)

- not fun to play with

- no intricacy, no smart mechanisms or building techniques

- failed the child test, my kids ignored it

Pros:

- physically impressive

- introduced multiple great new parts (wheels, torque tubes, portal axles, new compressor pump, pneumatic coupling part)

- robust

- good suspension performance

- good colour scheme
