    Good news, they are now processing it :) That's why I never order out of stock stuff from LEGO themselves. I hear it will be mid July,though they never say so in the shop(they are LEGO,they would know when next batch is out). If they do say so elsewhere, it should also be next to the out of stock item's "Out of stock" message. p.s. John Lewis is also out of stock today

    Well, though I ordered a while ago(an hour or 2), still no confirmation from JS,only from paypal that there will be one. I hope it is in stock and JS didn't jump the gun.(because I will cancel,and never buy a thing from them)

    Sorry, only just saw this :) You guys are all brilliant, thanks for all the help !!!!!!

    All done ! :) Thanks to the designers & Instruction manual makers, this is a fab MOC ! I modded it slightly, added rear lights, added lights to the 2 orange lights on top of cab, covered engine bay, made rear box(totally covered) for counterweight & beefed up lego actuator as it would skip teeth when horizontal.

    3 for 2 at Argos for another 36 hours
  9. dognosh
    If you have an extended MOC planned for this model then you have 1.5 days to get 3 for 2 from Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5578458.htm

    All done! Ok, i lie, nearly all done. One question. I have all 3 sections of the boom, and can see the mechanism by which the middle boom extends. How does the inner boom extend? For the life of me I can't remember how the original 42009 did it! Edit: I see it is in the cabling
  11. dognosh
    I too was 1cm short, and after 3 hours of messing I took one of the 20cm extensions off (not needed), used it and another 20cm ext to extend to 2 outer IR receiver cables. I am currently putting all the wire jumble under the engine, neatly. If I fail, I will go back to vanilla wiring and take carrier apart and try again. Also, I am mulling putting on rear red lights.

    Wow ! I am loving making this I have nearly finished the platform/cab/running gear/electrics/outriggers. Soon to start on the superstructure and boom, built the lego actuator :) To those who helped in this MOC design, wow you guys are stars !!! To the Instruction maker, superb job. Back to work !

    Motomatt, thanks a bunch :) afol1969, and you too :) I came to forums because I was mistakenly using the 1.2 files and I found I needed 14 shocks I didn't have So I looked at the 1.1 and worked it out. But I still came here to check ! Thanks both of you, I have examined all 3 files,so : 1. Build using Grove6400-MKIII_1.1-test.compressed.pdf 2. use afol1969's link to build actuator (http://www.bricksafe.com/files/afol1969/Instructions/actuator.pdf) 3. go to page 16 in GMK6400_linear_actuator.pdf and continue from there 4. Build RC unit either from afol1969's bricksafe, or my own design :) I already ordered one, but it is 1.2mm(like in Crawler set) , lets see if it is suitable and if not I go for yours.

    Tesco Direct is doing the 42042 for £80

    I am looking at a 1.2mm string(my crawler set,42042) and it looks good. Of course the 42042 isn't 5M, shall search the net. TY for your reply :)
