The last time I bumped a tread I got giving out to on here lol by the way great mocs

This is amazing , How did he make the pneumatics rc?Where would I get more info on this moc?

Black wheels look way better on the mog,as luder said brick link is ur best bet,I think mine cost €10 delivered.

I must fit a tank to my own mog and that seems the best place really!

Very interesting to see people picking newer sets,8455 was just painstaking in a good way with all those hoses to route in tight areas,love it to bits :) iv still not built my 8868 yet!

Very nice but I'm not talking mocs just sets u actually buy!

This should be an interesting topic and we don't get to many apart from the usual mocs and so on. I had to talk about my most challenging and most saticfying set iv ever built! Well here goes its the 8455 backhoe (misb)and I'm at it the last 2 days on and off and all I can say is it's been an amazing build and my most favourite to date!iv only come back to building technic in the last year and iv bought a lot of sets since including ,8110/8043/8264/8258 but what I have noticed about these sets is the instructions are quiet easy but this 8455 backhoe was a real challenge and the most saticfying build iv done yet and most sore fingers too :) it really is a great set. So what's ur best set/build to date?

Seems very cheap but shipping might be expensive,is there an English version of that site?

That's great thanks alasdair.

Iv recently bought a misb 8455 backhoe,this is a new set with all sealed bags,I'm in the process of building the model and iv noticed a few pneumatic differences. First is 5 out of 7 pneumatic switches seem looser (easy to move) and the other 2 feel nice and tight like my 8110, do these switches vary like this in smoothness or is it the fact that these havnt been used in 7-8 years? Personelly I prefer the tighter type as its easier controll small movements! Secondly the pneumatic cylinders slightly vary in smoothness too but 1 out of the 10 is strange as when u pull it out fully by hand it travells back in a little on its own,like there's a slight blockage. Is this a common thing with misb pneumatic sets or is this a normal case with even newer sets,it's not bothering me it's more I'm interested to know! Bare in mind this set is brand new all sealed and box is 100% like new. By the way this is the best build experience iv had in years and way more complicated than newer sets I love it already :)dare I say I might put this set as my number 1 set along with my 8868 .

I may try it for Xmas so :) my wife was getting me Lego for Xmas so it's ether this or 8070 ;)

Hi ted iv often taught about mindstorm too,is it hard to get started or do basic stuff like the robot in the picture above as I'm not very good on computers but I can do what I need to do :) is mindstorm gone off the shelves as I don't see any major toy stores stocking it? Also how my minstorm robots/sets are they?

Pics look great I love ur full orange plow,looks real like ;) has anyone made the gritter for the rear yet? Is it any good?

Picture not working yet!

The roof looks way too low.

So what's the best out of the 3?

I never knew there was 2 versions of this set!how come?

Has anyone a video of 8464?

8462 is horrid and looks like something off the moon,them wheels make me sick too ;(

I agree 8049 was great for this reason,that small pump was priceless I think.

The older studded parts are not common to me as iv all studless sets,my problem is I don't like buying second hand sets so it ends up costing me a fortune,im just waiting on my 8455 misb to be delivered which cost 250€ , the cheapest 8464 I can find new is 135€!

Yes and expensive too ;(

Good or bad so?

As ye might know I'm gone mad into pneumatic sets lately but this is one I'd like to have,problem is there is very limited information on it,I can't find reviews or even YouTube clips bar 1. What's peoples opinion on this nice looking little set?

Thanks blackbird for the info,I'd love to know who designed 8868 and 8455 ;)
