[REVIEW] 42131 - CAT D11T Bulldozer
lee1980 replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think id prefer this to Liebherr when it reduced some, but still have Liebherr in box! They do seem to be getting bigger and more expensive as same for all Lego. When i was around 10 in 1990, my Nan would usually get me a Lego set for xmas/bday as my bday is on 27th December. Back then I think sets were around £100 max for technic sets, there is inflation to but can imagine now out of reach of a lot of kids that would like and I know its says 18 but sure many could build still. I guess some may prefer to an ipad say to is £300-400! -

I am up to build stage where transmission is complete and it feels overall good just a bit stiff in some gears, agree some of the steps are very hard see what is going on! I need to check if used right grey small gear as mentioned on previous page! its sure one crazy chassis crammed with everything, the HOG steering seems to be very precise which is nice. -
I think the numbered bags are a great idea and I just open all of one number in a tray and go from there, finding the pieces means it takes longer! and enjoy build longer lol. Its on back order here in UK shipping 8th June, now a limit of 1, which i would of thought it should be 1 per order everywhere. I for sure at the moment cannot stretch to 1, never bought 2 of any set. I have lego mandolrian on order to when its released. If we get out holiday deposit back will be getting one though sooner! I still have quite a few sets to build and am still working so not have any extra time either!

I for one can't wait, I don't expect and lego/technic to be as good as a scale model, i enjoy building more than anything and then do display. Only really show functions when others come around. I do feel overall the site have gotten bigger and more expensive so much and it must be mainly AFOL's buying, as when i was 12 etc would not of got any of these bigger sets. I think the 18+ thing is good for this reason. I just hope it comes in down in price as i will as Porsche and Chirron did eventually.
