Very nice entry. You managed to replicate the overall feel of the truck quite well.

I have a surprise for you: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74934 It's on top of all the topics in the technic section...

That is looking good. I added the pics to the set info topic. Like the grand prix racer and the material handler. But the other sets look nice as well.

Looks lovely. Good job. Suspension in cars that hover a few millimeters above the ground is difficult, especially if it's made out of lego. Would love to see a bottom shot, to see if he made a 'plank'.

I know that, but the information is always spread out on lots of pages. We can keep that topic as discussion topic while this one has all the info. Will add them.

This topic is an overview and set information topic. For discussion about the sets we have this topic. I will update this topic when information will be released. 1st wave of 2013: 42000 Grand Prix Racer 42002 Hovercraft 42004 Mini Backhoe 42011 Action Racecar 42010 Action Race Buggy 42007 Motocross Bike 42006 Material Handler 2nd wave of 2013: 42001 Mini Off-roader 42005 Monster Truck 42008 Service Truck 42009 Mobile Crane Mk II 41999 Winning Set of Technic Challenge 2012/2013 The Boss Crawler Added pictures of 1st half sets and their B-models!

Added pictures of 42009!

Thanks mate! Building a differential with limited parts is hard, so good job on that one. At least you tried, that's good for the learning proces. I think one day we should hold a C-model contest, since that makes a model even more valuable. Grohl and Tomik are already really great with building those...

The three teeth you highlighted are different from the others. So my guess that it's a mistake. I checked two of my own differentials and they don't have those "wider" teeth...

Ph@t @ss I laughed!

Can you tell something more about the grand prix racer? what's the price of the mini backhoe? Can't wait for some good pictures. It's almost October and we have blurry nothing...

Triple the fun?! If you are just starting, maybe that's the better choice.

Nice start. Good to see this topic bumped Good luck on making some more C's, there are not enough yet...

Great GBC. Really like those constructions and functionality.

I always have a hard time to decide whether to purchase a set or not. Since i don't want to spend to much on lego, information about sets is most welcome. Your (Qwetqo) statement about 2nd half of 2013 almost forces me to wait a loooooooong time to purchase something. I don't know of that makes me or

pics would be nice

Using that ejector seat is going to hurt a lot. See the amputated leg... Nice job though. I'm currently in the proces of building an airplane. Going to look at the LDD for ideas!

I 2nd this!

What a cute little tractor. Nice design, i didn't know some of the parts even exsisted in blue. And the functions are done in a really nice way. If only lego would produce something original like this, i would insta buy one.

Yes i tried the new URL, but the old one redirected me earlier. Don't know why, but it works now. Strange.

I've tried via internet explorer, chrome and google search to open the site... No luck so far. They just can't find it somehow...

But makes it so much more boring...

website is down for me atm...

Nice review! The last time i saw this set was in a catalog back in the 90's. It didn't seem very nice to me back then, but this review has actually proved me wrong. The design and functioning is quite nice. Keep up these nice reviews! They are very appreciated.

maybe it's the distance towards the actuator? The small one is quite far from the pump. But i noticed this aswell.

This is a tough question for me. Since it's not so long ago i started with technic lego again i purchased my first sets for the models. But more and more i'm getting into building moc's myself, so new sets don't last long in their build-state. I'm looking at different perspective towards new sets. Is it a nice model? Does it have a good building experience and techniques? Does it have a nice part inventory? How's the price/parts ratio? Ofcourse you do not always question this for every set, but since i do not buy that much, sets need some of the questions answered positive... And the last question i'm forgetting, and this one becomes more important: Does the set give you nice parts for building that sweet MOC from someone else?
