Nice Tank! I think it's more like model team with pf.

I think so too. The prices are too high at this time. I want to buy a 8258 for christmas and prefer the new one from amazon, because the prices for a used one are as much as the new one costs. Maybe the prices will fall in new year, but the 8258 is out of production and i fear that the prices could reach the level of the 8421, so i will buy one this year. Or do you think the price of the 8258 will stay stable the next months? To stay on topic: i think 300,- is okay for both new.

That is crazy! But what is the problem with a 2nd hand set that was only build up one time and then stands on shelf? Would you let the new sets sealed and store for your grandson? ;-) Some things i only buy new too, but pay more than the double retail price for a lego set, if i can have a almost new for the half? Hmm... that only makes sense if you want to let them sealed and never build it up like an financial investment... Just my opinion...

Hi! I think that's too much money for this sets... You can get a almost new 8421 for ~100-150€ on e**y. 8436 go's out there for round about 50-100€. Most of them come with original box.

Hi! Today i went to the market in my hometown after work, but the 8053 set was already sold. I think they hadn't got many of them in store. The next market is about 30 km away, so i think it's not worth to go there for this set. Considering about the 8258 is running out of production, i will buy one when my christmas money is on my bank account. The 8258 looks more interesting to me, because i don't really like these fully RC things like the 8043. Lego must be something to play with my hands on it for me. And i always liked wheel-based vehicles more than ones with tracks. However, the 8043 with it's lots of motors and gearings is also a good choice... but my girlfriend will kill me if i spend so much money for Lego in a short time! So the 8043 must wait a little bit. Thank's for your help! btw: this forum is great!

Hello technic-fans! This is my first posting on eurobricks. I hope my english is not to bad, because i am from germany and i don't often use english. First i will tell something about me. My name is Markus, i'm 26 years old and i came back to lego technic a week ago with the amazing unimog u400. Now here's my first question. To build up the unimog was so much fun and i consider to buy another technic set. Since yesterday there's a special offer at "penny market" for the 8053. It only cost 49,99 € against 70 € @ amazon. So i think it would be a good deal, but there are very different opinions about the 8053 in this forum. I have the old 8460 pneumatic crane and i mean the 8053 would look nice beside this on the shelf. So what do you think? Should i buy the 8053 for that low price, even for the parts? Or should i save the money an invest in a bigger set like 8043 or 8258 next year? Thank you and i hope you could understand my english. ;-) Greets Markus
