    I love the construction equipment, I've not been in the game long so I never had a chance to buy many of the construction sets you guys seem to loathe seeing repeated... I'm not going to blow 270 bucks on a loader that sold for 90 originally, or 500+ for a bulldozer... which is why we will see the same thing rehashed, so the next generation has a chance at getting one. My son only plays with construction themed legos, i'm sure there are many just like him! hopefully they don't have pnuematics, boy those are a disappointment on the unimog. A nice loader will certainly be found under my tree if it exists, RC preferably!

    I enjoyed the 8043 significantly more then the 42009, I was literally numb toward the end of building the 42009 and its not nearly as playable

    I bought a 42009 off craigslist misb for 100 bucks, have another deal for nearly 25 pounds of technic pieces, will have to see if that happens... I've told the wife she has to buy me the unimog bc i'm thinking it will be discontinued soon.

    I would guess they aren't sweating it at all, they will just reject it like many of the others with little explanation, but really they are too lazy to do the work.

    Toys r us can charge what they want bc in America it's the only place most people ever buy the neat lego sets for their grand kids or nieces and nephews, target and Walmart refuse to carry technic, and I've never seen a Lego store in person... So there you go, to achieve instant gratification and not order online you pay a premium.

    Is it possible to do one in white? I have a white defender 90 with a black top, a Lego model would be awesome in my cubicle, to prevent anyone from getting the idea of promoting me anytime soon :) Is there anyway to lower the body a few studs?

    Quarry dump truck please, no pneumatics, no more cranes!

    the boss makes no sense as a crawler, I've seen all kinds of cars converted into 4 wheelers with monster tires(I have a landcruiser on 40 inch super swampers for mudding) they never look right and never perform...

    I really hope this wins, It was my second choice to the defender 90 the other ones just don't do anything for me!

    I'm going to have to collect a ton of Lego for this

    a lot of work went into creating these, saddly none of the ones i liked made it into the finals, they all seem too tall, the bodies being built above the drive train rather then integrating with it, wheels should be in wheel wells not 20mm below it!

    I'm kinda bummed about the sample rate for the data logger, 200ms sample rate isn't that great, I want to take it apart now and se what they built it with. I build embedded low power wireless sensor networks for a living so to me at that price you can do a lot of things... Can't wait to see it!

    Very Excited about getting one of these, have been holding off for about 6 months to see when the next generation might come out. Snake robot sounds cool, depth perception will make for some interesting robots.

    Why not make them controlled by nxt bricks with some kind of ai?

    Awesome, just got my 8043 today, the 42006 will be next

    I love the complexity as well, too bad one of the selection criteria is that it must be able to be built by a 16 year old... I guess if i think the stuff they release is complex to me, i must not be that great at it though.

    I was just about to respond with this, most of my engineer friends(all of them are, bc i'm an engineer) spend their free time building race cars and doing outdoor hobbys... I feel the same way, I would love to build this set, but I don't have a vast catalog of parts, esp ones with stud... I started looking at what it would take to build han's dump truck and realized trying to source the parts from 25 stores in europe was too big a task to take on now. Technic in america needs to be shoved in stores more, so people have the chance to buy them, if you have to go online to get it forget about it, not happening, also very few are ever sold used for reasonable prices, unlike europe where i see second hands set come up often for very cheap. Love this set, maybe someday i'll acquire enough parts to build it :(

    Love the defender 90, partial to it because I have one... I like how he managed to get the body lower over the subframe, make it look more realistic! Will probably have to buy an offroader and parts to do the conversion I like it so much!
  19. Tkavan01
    That is awesome, the 8069 is what my wife bought me to get me into it with my son, I really like how this model almost negates the different sized tires... Did you ever get around to any instructions?
  20. Tkavan01
    Not trolling they deserve to be played with, as do all Legos, not hidden away in some drawer of a collectors house with a half million other bricks to be bragged about and used once a decade or so.
  21. Tkavan01
    Number 4 all the way, make sure to post the pictures where collectors can see them!

    Sorry I was just adding my comment on the sets released, and dreaming about what I wish had been released.
  23. Tkavan01
    Much appreciated.
  24. Tkavan01
    Got a link to instructions and part list? I don't have much of a collection of technic parts so buying sets is so much easier to build these things...

    My son has finally reached an age that we can build and play Legos together, he is very interested in construction related vehicles and that is what I've been researching... After going through all the years seeing how they have progressed to me the biggest construction related flagship they are missing is a dump truck. I really wish they would make one as now Im setting up a budget to buy some sets... I'll probably buy this crane but just as easily could of found a copy of the 8421, unlike the bulldozer 8275 which I can't get my hands on at all. Just seems like a soft model compared to what was really needed, every year has some kind of crane modl it seems
