Ah, it is always nice to have friends on the inside. You are very fortunate to have been able to acquire this set so early. The rest of us may have to wait months in agony. If only I was an SeTechnic member.....

Did Peek et Poke also have the other new models, or only the 8043? In case, congratulations again on your acquisition and the excellent and thorough review.

No, He don't have the other sets yet.

I will contact him to know when he will have them, and when he will have again the 8043.

edit @ efferman : the right one. ;)

That looks AMAZING, gotta buy that model!!

I love how you can spin the tracks around in 360 degrees but the body stays still, how on earth does that work? Impressive!! I am looking forward to the crane, its just a shame it doesn't have an engine in the set.

The B Model of the excavator looks brilliant too, will tempted to double-dip to have them both along side 8275 :D The motorbike B model looks brilliant, but what one earth is 8052? It looks rubbish and rather lazy.

Thankyou for this amazing review. I'm gonna pass on buying the excavator tho.

The operator drives one track forward, the other track backward...that way the tracks rotate in place, together with the body.

The operator at the same time engage the motor that drive rotation of the superstructure (body), and then it looks like the body stand still while tracks rotate around.

Something similar can be seen on the tanks, while the turn around the corner, while the turret with the cannon rotate at the opposite way, targeting fixed target, creating the illusion of being still.

I thought that was how. That's pretty damn impressive, it must be fairly complex with lots going through the superstructure.

Many tanks can do that automatically once a target is set. It's relatively simple to do; I used to work on a radar that had a gyro stabilised antenna so it always pointed out level to the horizon regardless of pitch and/or roll.

You've read my mind.

I think I'll get one set first and build both to see if I can do without either model (Probably not :D)

[Jetro]

Great video and review. Many thanks!

As for the language, we all speak LEGO, and it is good to be reminded every once in a while that English isn't the only language in the world :D with such clear pictures very little is lost even without the words and Google (or yahoo or babelfish or .. take your pick) will be more than adequate for those who didn't do their homework at school. It is one thing to write in English on a forum and quite another to write/translate articles that fit with the quality of the images in English (believe me, I'm in charge of editing the translations for Hispabrick Magazine and sometimes it takes almost as much time to translate than to write the original article.)

Oh wow, it's fantastic! I've just watched the video. Thanks so much for the review Anio The music is perfectly suited to the model.

I'm really excited about 8043 and the future of Technic. This model in particular looks as wonderful as many of the great flagships from the 90's.

[dr_spock]

Nice review. I still have my old French-English dictionary. I hope it will be sold in this country unlike the 8258 Crane Truck.

This set never interested me much since I have 8421, but I like that alternate model. A dockside container crane is something we have never had before in Technic.

I agree. I have 8421 but the B model is refreshingly different. I'll probably pick it up just for that.

[Balrog]

That Excavator looks awesome. If it weren't that expensive, I'd get it. Perhaps I will anyway.

The excavator is expensive, as expected. I'll wait till I see some sales around xmas.

[tomacwhite]

It sounds from the descriptions that secondary instructions are included with the model (all of the new ones) instead of them being online only.

Wrong. Sure.
