Sorry to butt in, but did you try out your new setup yet with the blue containers, Jim? Very curious on how it turned out, since I am too on the verge of rearranging my bricks for easier access.

Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 (42043) set is about 130 euro (200 RRP) at amazon.co.uk.

Same. Pretty good price. Probably another year before it reaches the 200-225 mark.

Bought the 42043 Arocs set yesterday new from amazon.co.uk. Has been 140 euro (200 RRP) for a few days now, couldn't resist and can always sell MIB when I need to :D

Nice, yeah I noticed some really nice mods for the 42030 to further enhance its functions. I'll read up on that, thanks. Isn't that lego hook like 20 euros on BL? Edit: wow those replacement tires look amazing! especially for 15$.

Thanks for the advice. I'm a bit tight on budget at the moment, but I agree that this would be a great price for the pieces alone. Already received pictures from owner, it unfortunately was in a kid's room I noticed, but as long as it's complete I'm not complaining. I can always sell it for at least this price when I need to it seems. Maybe I should just hold off for now and rebuild my 8880 after 25 years (coming out of my dark ages so to speak, 42009 + 42030 are bound to arrive soon). Also have my old 8868 + 8485 parts tucked away somewhere.

Do you guys think a 42025 Cargo Plane set is worth €75 (including shipping) for the parts alone? It's second hand with manual, but no box.

It's 80 euro on amazon.de, bit cheaper for mainland Europe.

Bought a 42009 crane for €165 (€200 RRP) and a 42030 loader for €150 (€220 RRP). Both second hand but in excellent condition with box and manuals maintained by collectors. Perhaps not the best prices, but considering the popularity of both sets pretty decent prices I think. Hoping to get the new 42055 excavator for 150 next year! :D And maybe the 42039 LeMan or 42043 Arocs for some ultra low price.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining.

Love the performance on these beasts, nice! Too bad I missed out on the early bird, shipping @ $25 is a bit much :/

Amazing prices indeed, thanks for clearing that up ;). I'm waiting for a good price on the Volvo set before it goes OOP.

How/where? Ebay or local marketplace?
