I have just built the B-model, and those parts are indeed used within that model

I think this is a good idea, but it should look better if you mke the stripes only 1 stud wide (imo). Maybe add some red beams at the back aswell?

I couldn't agree more! I have recently ordered the set at Lego S@H, and it is worth it! (I already have most of the PF stuff, only had to order the RC controller)

What about 8461, the Williams F1 car? And 8466, the 4x4 Offroader?

You might get lucky, but I doubt that there is anyone that still has that tray, but does not want to keep it in his/her set...

What I meant with this comment, was to support the creation of the instructions itself (because it costs so much time). Support and credit for the model will provided by both the use of the instructions by others and the comments on the model. So I actually agree with Erik here!

Press thee red [ shaped clip (so the little black clip tilts backwards), then pull the black box from the yellow batteryholder

I would pay max $5 for it; a balance between "paying for a digital file only" and "supporting the creator and giving credit for the effort he/she has put in the model"

Hey all, I would like your opinion on the following matter (sorry if this was posted before!) I have rechargeable batteries (6 Duracell AAA) and the batterybox 88000, the 8878 costs around EUR50,-. Should I buy the 8878 or not? Does it make my trains perform better compared to the 88000? thanks, RockeTeK

Got mine today (probably the last day it is available?) And I was not dissapointed! One of the all-time best sets of Lego!

What was changed, besides the extra wheels?

Well, If you plan to put the layout around a tree (or if you want to sit in the middle of it)... I'll give it a go I suggest you place the stations (with some mods) next to each other, with tracks on both sides (place the 4557 at the end for the 4563). Then bring the tracks together with the 4531, and put a 4519 on either side. With the remaining tracks you can create a loop from each cross section to the other leacing you with a somewhat "upside-down mickey-mouse" figure. I do not have any program for this, so I made a sketch below: () (Connect C with C, U with U and X with X) Be creative and put some curved tracks between 4519 and 4531! X X | tree/sit here | | | | ______________________ | C--+--<___platform/station___>--+--U | | | | C U

Just a quick question; for how long will this set be available (at S@H) ?

If you keep the prices low enough, I am sure lots of people would buy both instructions and parts-packs!

Which set# are you talking about? A Lego link please?

I like this idea, I have completed your survey!

Have fun with your new set!

Looks very good! I would like to see more detail pictures, so I can reproduce this myself!

Thanks !

I would like one sheet if possible. Please contact PM!

Could you upload those on www.megaupload.com ? Thx!

If you can get one for a reasonable price... defenitely go for 8421! That is one of the All-Time-Best Technic sets! (and the largest one aswell with 1884 parts). However, if you prefer Remote Controlled vehicles, choose either 8043 or 8275: both have 4 motors, 2 IR receivers and controller(s). 8285 and 8258 are both great looking trucks, and a great parts-pack aswell (both around 1875 parts). Where 8285 has pnuematics, 8258 has a XL-motor and LAs... Take your pick!

Sorry to wake up an older topic, but I just have to mention this... I recently bought this set for around EUR15,- and ofcourse, the CD was not working anymore. So I turned to google, and guess what the first (usefull) result was...? Thats right: Eurobricks! What a great forum we have, and what a nice model 8428 is! Thanks to Yoshi648!

Here in the Netherlands, the 8258 are on the shelves for EUR120,- so I guess you paid a good price for it.
