    Right now, I own the 7782 Batwing and 7888 Tumbler, and plan to sell these 2 for this set. I wish for its size it had steering and suspension, but I'm sure some clever builder here will find a way without sacrificing external design.

    Just noticed the impossible #3 red connectors. So, if I were to build this in black, any impossible parts besides the 19l black hose, soft axle? Thanks

    This may be the first moc I make myself. However, 1 of the main parts I do not own is the rechargeable battery box. Would the 88000 AAA battery box be able to handle the car? I was also thinking of making it non rc with a fake motor and transmission.

    I just brought 9396 with me this week to turn into the B Model for something to do. I am also impressed with the model. Although I have to say it will be for sale soon to raise money for the new sets.

    I'm going to need a loan for all these great sets this year! Thanks for another great review Sariel!

    Hello, For some reason, my first thought was to build a plane. I only have certain panels in black or red, so I went with red. I then decided to create a mini version of the 9394 Plane. Features folding wings, retracting landing gear. Although, I really should be focusing on an insect project, but I figured if another insect wins, these competitions are fixed. Let me know what you think or criticism. Thanks!

    That's the first pictures I have seen of the B model. Its changing my mind to want to buy this set. Thanks for the review!

    I just was on the American Lego site, and they are now showing the new 2014 Technic products. They are giving a release date of August 2014.

    Just scored a used 8439 pneumatic front loader for $120 plus shipping on ebay. 3rd time buying it and this time I'm keeping it. First one melted in a fire, 2nd one sold for the newer version. But this version has much more playability.

    I am a technic lego fan. I recently bought lego city sets from the tow truck to a winter house for my Christmas train layout. The directions for technic sets seem much easier with 1-2 piece steps versus 10-20 piece steps that add pieces all over like a hidden object game. So if he can handle city sets, technic will be a breeze.

    Hard to explain, but is the a 1l space between 2 holes the axle goes through before the wheel? You could put 2 half bushings in the space and it will help hold the axle in place.

    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 can't even buy the set yet, and you guys are so bored with it your building other things. This stinks! Cute C-model though

    I agree this is a great set. The attachment to tow other rigs is genius. The 2 complaints I have is that the top of what's showing on the 1 x 12 blue brick should have been tiled, and the crane boom cannot extend. Since I mostly do technic, the crane boom is not a problem. But my next bricklink order will include blue tiles.

    I can't even look at the 2h sets, still waiting for the 1h sets to come out. I guess they will just be called 2014 sets when they all come out together.

    It's a mod with the cab of the 8397 logging truck. I'll take closer pictures next weekend when I'm home. Can't really see it, but there is a red cab as well on the right 1 shelf down. Can only see the grill and red hood though in the picture.

    Just put these shelves up today. I now have to decide to keep them natural, or to paint them white or black: Offroader set 8297 is missing from the pictures due to a failed attempt at solid axles.

    My wife works at CVS, and they stock them there as well. It's the new hottest thing for kids, so anywhere there are toys at a store, you'd probably find them.

    I know I'm reviving an old topic, but I have been looking for rubber bands in the US to do this. I found using the "Loom Bands" for making rubber band bracelets work perfect! And they only cost a few bucks for a pack of 350 of them. That's enough for the bulldozer and 2 excavators.

    I got the 42009 Crane and 9393 Tractor!! The wife Got a Kitchenaid mixer as a thank you.
  21. gmshades
    I took the three apart today. Harvester had 457 pcs, the Tractor with both attachments had 640 pcs, and the Dump Truck had 293 pcs. Total of 1390 pcs. Not bad considering I wasn't counting as I went.

    (Added U.S. Dollars. I hope that's overpriced compared to the Lego Store.)

    I'm waiting patiently for christmas to open my 42009. Just got the 42000 and 42007 at the vip open house last weekend, so now I have a complete collection of 2013. I don't know if that will be the case in 2014. Sets like the triple construction set and hotrod don't appeal to me.

    Harvest Time Here is my entry to the contest. It's harvest time! http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=88003

    Do you think the plane is the same scale as the 2013 helicopter? The cockpits look about the same size.
