Should I buy 8053 Mobile Crane for its parts? Hello, I built 8421 as a flagship of its time (I bought it used a few months ago), and now since 8053 is going off the shelves am wondering whether I should have that one too. I'm not interested in the main model so much, more in the B-model and most in the parts. Now I'm just at the begging of my MOC-ing "career", although did some MODs - fully motorized and RCed 8294 Excavator for example. Now I'm looking for a solid pool of parts to do more creative MOC-ing from ground up. I bought 8265 Front Loader just before it got off the shelves, also 8295 Telescopic Handler and am wondering if 8053 is good deal considering its relatively high price (EUR 100) for its parts. Does it have some valuable/rare parts that are less found in other Technic sets? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

ok thank you

Hello, do the superpack boxes contain the sets each in its separate cardboard box, or just a number of polybags or some combination of this? Thank you for your answer. Mladen

OK so the box for storage is almost useless then. What about the cardboard playing mat? When all four games assembled on it is everything stable enough so that it can be carried from one room to another? So one doesn't have to re-assemble everything every time but rather move it from the playing area to the storage area and vice versa.

So can it hold all four games? Because the reviews on shop.lego.com are pretty harsh... yet it looks so good and promising

Thank you all. I guess I'll buy 8258 first so it doesn't get sold out and then wait to be able to afford 8110. Best regards, Mladen

OK thank you. Still, if someone could make a photo of 8258 and 8110 side by side to get a visual of their relative dimensions I would be most appreciative. Thanks

Everyone seems to be talking about 8110 as THE BIGGEST set but from the official LEGO site we can find out: 8110 •Measures over 19” (48cm) long and 12” (30cm) high 8258 •Crane measures 20.9 inches (53cm) x 22 inches (56cm)! And some have measured the actual 8258 to be 55cm x 30cm x 25cm Which one should I buy, 8258 or 8110?
