will there be a live build?

[Saberwing40k]

If TechnicBricks gets it, they probably will have a live build, although you would probably need an astronaut diaper to sit through the whole darn thing.

I'm so stealing "Astronaut Diaper" for my new emo goth disco band

Amazing,do I see white mining truck on the box?

Yes, that is model B ;)

[doug72]

Yes, that is model B ;)

Wrong it's part of the A model.

The B model is an aggregate crusher

See earlier posts in this thread for images.

I'm pretty sure the mining truck as B model was meant as a joke :)

who here is getting 42055 the day it comes out?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

I'm saving money for this monstrous behemoth.

It's really strange that when I first learned of this set I was like "Not in a million years will I buy this. The Claas is cheaper and just as cool", and now I'm like "I've gotta buy this at all cost. The Claas is nowhere as cool as this".

My thoughts exactly, and add a lot of led lighting for some 24hour digging

[legobeast73]

[Phantom59]

It is not August and you need the time to save up.

ie: sell your first born

Thank G it is not licenced then you would have to sell your kidneys as well

Bucket Wheel Excavator - The leading cause for kidney donations around the world

Imagine if we had to save up to buy a 1:1 scale version oh jeez, that would take forever and beyond!

[ctx1769]

@error404 you would need big hands

[N-4K0]

We would need actual cranes to assemble it, just like in real life with such enormous machines

You just won the internet.

Definitely getting this set, little disappointing that there isn't less manual functions, but I guess they probably had a target price point to squeeze it into.

If you bought two sets, you could easily build mobile conveyor to go with it :P Also would have been a prime set to go with double wide tracks.

Oh God... you shouldn't have said that. Now I want 2...

You probably need a third too, so you can build the B model, and have the BME and mobile conveyor built feeding directly into the aggregate crasher.....
