After not building with (Technic) Lego for more than twenty years I decided to buy the 42009 crane last Christmas. It was more an impulse purchase because I saw it on a large online shop with a great discount. But well, I couldn't imagine how much fun it would be to build the crane and spend hours and hours on it until I finished the build.
It was so much fun that I immediately started to look for other sets and since last Christmas I got the Volvo Wheel Loader (42030), Service Truck (42008), Cargo Plane (42025), the Pickup Truck (42029) and yesterday I stumbled upon the Unimog at my local Lego store which could be the largest Lego store here in Holland. It was their last Unimog and I could get it for a very nice price.
So far I the Volvo Wheel Loader is the set that I like the most but after starting to build the Unimog last night I might think that the Unimog could be my favourite new set
