    Kumbbl and jantjeuh,

    In my opinion, the 8275 Bulldozer is a high rated set. Think back to 2006. We were all wishing for new motors, and remote control functions. In 2007, we get both with 8275! I bought 2 sets. One to build, one for parts. Sure, it's a simple set, but to me it still has the best playability. Perfect speed forward/reverse, blade moves decent.

    To compare it to sets like 8043 is irrelevant. That's like comparing the first cell phone to an iphone. Both have their place in history.

    I agree with every words you said. It has its own place in LEGO Technic history, it brought new level of enjoyment to children and adults as well, it is a brutal Technic construction machine which needs to be handled carefully. And don't forget the small red sticker on the original box, it is like "Toy Fair Winner of Innovation category 2007". This is quite something in my opinion.

    Thank you for the info, you are right, 8258 C-model is a beauty monster as well and I consider building it in the future. :)

    Although I would likeTLG to bring back more valuable alternative B-models as they did in the past with some of their flagships especially in the studded era (8480, 8880, 8862, 8868) where B-models where totally different but similar complex vehicles than A-models. From studless era 8258 and also new 42030 have good official B-models IMO.

    Well, I would like to see a proper successor supercar to 8880 and 8448 incorporating new designed elements and rare colour. Second whish is an orange european style garbage truck as a flagship with compressor & pneumatic. White container truck with lots of pneumatic as a flagship. Yellow grader with many functions either PF or pneumatic. And of course hauler and backhoe as flagship with proper functions.

    Then again, why would Volvo pay LEGO for this? It's not that a 12 year old boy will buy a Volvo frontloader when he's got his drivers license at 18, because 6 years before he had this one from LEGO..

    Who knows? Seriously, I think it can happen. And many procurtement managers will buy this to their children and probably end with "how cool it is" "why our construction company doesn't use Volvos?" On the other hand it can be part of a brand development action and very good advertisement. Like JCVD splitting over the trucks. :classic:
