    Ufff, it is very hard to compare 8043 and 8258. First of all, 8043 is a fully RC machine, it has a lot of gears, 4 motors, 2 receivers, bottom line a lot of PF things. The part count is is not as high as the Crane Truck. On the other hand, 8258 Crane Truck stands out from the crowd as being imho, the best looking technic model ever created (close behind is 8285). At 1800+ pieces, you get an XL motor, a switch, a lot of useful parts/gears/etc. There is only one good advice to give you, get them both if you can. They are really nice sets.

    Wow, the prices of 8043 are soo high right now. I am so glad i got a copy when it was in the stores.

    Get a used 8043, i think you will find it at the amount of money you have. It has rc parts and 4 motors, lots of gears. It is a wonderful set !
  4. Freekysch
    Nice deal, i have to admit, but the price will go up for sure

    So, we are so close to the end of this year and i was wondering what were your Lego Technic purchases ? For me, this was a very good year i must say, i got the 42006 Excavator, 42000 Formula 1 car, 42007 Dirt Bike and the Quad from last year, and not last the 8258 crane Truck and the 8285 Tow Truck. What were the sets that you bought this year and were you satisfied by your purchases ?

    I'd say 8258 is a must for every technic collector, and is worth much more than a parts-pack (if you can get it at a decent price). 8285 is a great looking set too, but does not come with a lot of functions, but comes with lots of useful parts and nice silver wheels. Another VERY good model is 8265 Front Loader.

    Ok, i am sorry guys if i will be to honest, but this trucks is plain ugly ! It looks just like a bad MOC done by a 5 years old. The A model is more then ok, but the B model is rather dissapointing. Congrats on the review Paul B

    Well, in the Technic line you often see the initials of the designer printed on some of the stickers (eg. 8258, 8285, 8043, 8053, 8265, etc).

    Million thanks Pandora, so glad i got in

    Sorry to bother you again, but i saw that no one answered to my request, if i don't meet the standards is ok, but i just want to know. Thanks !

    I too have some sets that i want to get, if i find them. The short list would be: 8275, 8421, 8109

    I really like the Hot Rod, i think the stickers make it pop ! I really hope that the flagship of 2014 is going to be designed by UW, i just love all the sets that he designed.

    Nice entry you got here, very original. I would have not thought in a million years to do something like this.

    Very very veeery nice review Jim, thank you very much. When i first saw this set, i was sure i was not going to buy it, but now that i see this review, i will get it as soon as it hits the stores. Not the prettiest truck made by Lego (but prettier then 42008), but i like the colors and the fact that it comes without PF: I have enough sets with PF and never use them.
  17. Freekysch
    I think a major factor in the rareness of a set was its popularity. For example, the 8285 Tow Trucks is somehow a rare set, because it was not a favorite of it's time, and because 2006 was not a very good year for Lego Technic in general.
  18. Freekysch
    I do think the Model Team ones are kinda of rare, i do not know what to say about the technic ones (beside they are awesome )

    For this Christmas i may get 8109 Flatbed Truck, if i can find it, but beside that nothing. I already got some little (8285, 8258, 42000) sets this year.
  20. Freekysch
    Hmmm, this Christmas i hope to get 8109 Flatbed Truck, but i do not know if i`ll get lucky.
  21. Freekysch
    The 1st half line up is preety decent, after seeing all the detailed pictures i think there are a couple of great sets. I especially like the dump truck and the hot rod. Generaly i only collect trucks and construction machines, but the hot rod is a mush have
  22. Freekysch
    I had the same problem as you Horace T, and i got the 42000 and i do not regret it. 42008 is ok, but it has some problems in term of design imho. So, i would say go for the F1 car !
  23. Freekysch
    And the other reason is pure marketing, if you REALLY want that exclusive part you WILL pay and buy that set.
  24. Freekysch
    Thank you very much for the photos Ember, it looks awesome near all the cranes. I think i must get this set!
  25. Freekysch
    I would go for 8043 for sure, because it is a must have set (truly epic set i might say) and i think its value will only increase over time. 42006 on the other hand is ok, but thats just it.
