Same thing with 42061. Maybe it just didn't sell. Not surprising, since 42097 is not a commonly seen piece of equipment and thus wouldn't sell well with people who wouldn't know what the hell it is.

42061 still baffles me though, since telehandlers are pretty common.

Yes this one I remember too. Also 31085 from the Creator range, lasted just half a year. So it's not uncommon and seems to follow demand.

Perhaps Lego plans to make another telehandler in 2021?

Whilst a very different set, and looking back a 9 year gap too, i always compared it in my head to 8295 and as such it never gelled with me.

8295 was actually released twelve years ago, in 2008. Why did 42061 not gel with you, though? Was it 'coz you liked 8295 so much that no other telehandler could touch it? Or did it put you off telehandlers forever? :laugh:

I was thinking of the gap between the models initially, however I think it is very much that at the time I liked the 8295 so much that the 42061 was a folly to me.

Glad to say that I grew up *cough* from that thinking... :smug:

I remember that 42061 didn’t gel with me because it was a ripoff. $50AUD was frankly ridiculous, that thing shouldn’t have been any more than $40.

That is crazy, I am buying it for $10AUD second hand.
