wow! a very nice set, i love the detail on the walls! so tempting to move over to another theme! but I've got 3 on the go so i can't otherwise i'll be broke!

i have the 8880 myself and it is very very cool: V8, 4 wheel drive and steering, 4 proper different ratio gears opening tailgate and fully independent suspension on each wheel. However its not powered and you won't be able to replace the engine with a motor because the chain between it and the connecting rod to the gear box will just jump or snap. so if you did power it (I've seen it done) you probably wouldn't be able to run the power through the gearbox. the 8448 also looks nice. 5 forward gears and one reverse is impressive but only 2 wheel drive and steering. its in the newer style so flexible rods and funny plates making up all the styling rather than the more lego styled blocks of the 8880. I prefer the older style but i think the newer also looks cool so it depends what you like really. Now I've just has a look at the 9398 and boy does it look fun! with motorized 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive with the super long suspension travel it looks like a blast to play with. But like most of the new Technic sets it has no gears and with an electric motor you don't need that but i think its cool. so if you want a fun rc car that you can continue playing with for a long time after you've built it get the 9398 But if you're into engineering and you like to see realism and how everything works get either of the other two. Just depends what style you like between the other two, i'd say that the 8880 really shows the top end of what lego can do, they had to make unique parts for this set to allow 4 wheels drive, steering and suspension. But if the old style isn't your thing the 8448 is a worthy alternative Hope this helps

thanks guys

Hi, I want to buy either the 2150 or the 4554. If you don't already know, the stations are built the same but the 4554 is yellow and the 2150 is red 2150 +red looks nicer (suits the metroliner better) +has a nice white trim under the roof -minifigs are not the best (wrong half of the 90s) -yellow baggage train looks a bit weird with white wheels 4554 +minifigs really cool +have two spare metroliner stations and some platform so red seats I have will match -yellow looks funny -no lining under roof so ideally i'd have the 2150 with the 4554's figs, chairs and baggage train. Is it worth going to all that trouble? what do you think? thanks

Hi I'm Adam from England I've loved lego since i was a kid (even that was just big box of lego making crazy creations ) started collecting star wars about five years ago, have about 30 sets now. from my first which was the turbo tank to my most recent, the new Anikin and sebulba pod racers Recently I have undertaken the task of trying to make a decent late 80s early 90s classic town to go on youtube with only official sets as I haven't seen any videos on there. I've got the 6399 airport shuttle, and am continuing to spend more and MORE money on ebay So if there's any nice deals going down for classic town, let me know! Adam
