I was pretty sure I'll get this set even when I saw the preliminary pictures and videos. I was even surer when I read through your review. Then I saw the comparison with 8265 (which I own and loved) and there's not a doubt in my mind I'm getting this set. If for nothing else then for the PF stuff. I guess no V2 receiver's for me... Unless I get the crawler too. Thanks for the review!

Looks great and seems to be performing well on downhill sections, but what about uphill?

Congratulations to the winner(s)!

Here's Seat Altea Freetrack.

Very nice review, Rufus. I'd just like to refer to this part: I don't think it was a joke so I must say - that type of a recovery truck is quite common in certain parts of the world:

Simply beautiful!

Wow! Stunning!

This is beautiful, bravo!

Anyone noticed the new pushbroom mold? Or is it just me? I wish I had the one on the pictures to compare... I like the set, as well as the rest of Friends sets.

@LEGOMAN132: That's right, it's modular.

Yes, it will definitely. Plus the PPTO has "round" ends so as to slip the hose easily whereas a regular 3L hose has flat (straight cut) ends.

@tripletschiee: 2) Yes, forgot to mention it but I didn't mind because it's just an error in the instructions, not the model itself. 4) I believe so. As I mentioned earlier, it's really really really hard to steer it in place. All of the axles bend so much it's a pain to do it. 5) I was thinking about that too. The pistons really do move too slowly. 6) I thought it had something to do with how easily a child could press those parts together but it didn't make sense. 7) Wow! I totally missed that!

@Seluryar: No. All of them have been withdrawn, fixed and sent back to stores so there shouldn't be a faulty one in any store anymore.
