Just use http://www.bricklink.com , you can find all or almost all needed parts over there.

I wonder if that biggest assembly (wheels+ ALU rims) isn't too heavy for LEGO?

For drifting you need to have rear axle's diff locked i.e. no need for LEGO diff here, otherwise there will be only one side wheel spinning.

umm, but isn't Fiesta - all wheel drive, even in Gymkhana setup? Well I'd love to see a LEGO RWD Fiesta too, would be exotic car which is rather expensive to build for real.

gymkhana?

Anio, thx for reviews! I like 42008 for its colors, green is pretty nice because of this it looks better than 42009, however not impressed with the functions of 42008, which are way better in 42009. Still not sure if I should go for any this year's top models (except 41119, with a bit of a luck).

I was thinking why not to create some sort of support with trans-clear bricks?

The front of your Land Rover looks very realistic. And I see your model will be rather big. Keep on going!

well, think is very nice looking, much smoother Unimog.

Well, this is huge tank! I'm interested what makes ammunition to fire so fast?

I hope so, otherwise no chance for those who live outside of countries with official LEGO offline shops.

Thanks all for your thoughts! So if I got it right about 8110 - grab while you still can, because of parts, wheels, suspension parts and of course pneumatics? I'm comfortable with old, pre-studless beam era, sets, but 8868 is just a set, nothing much exiting about it to me. Great guys you've mentioned 8455, I'll be keeping an eye on this! And what about 8462? It is nice looking blue truck to me, with cool wheels and some pneumatics too. Is it something wrong with it since none of you commented on it? What is so special about airtank?

Hi EB members, I'm LEGO fan since early 90s and have came back from my Dark age recently with 8297 set. I like it because of nice technical-mechanical base (independent suspension, fake motor connected to back wheels, differentials) this model has. I know this model is now old and most of you aren't interested in it but I'm actually it process of modification with more features (didn't see such mod before). I still have several Technic and Model Team sets from before the Dark age time, however these were before studless era came in, so 8297 was pretty new and fun to build. I've continued on my new collection with 9398 Crawler which has nice PF features and 8475 with Radio control and buggy motors Since I was a kid at the time I started my LEGO collection I couldn't afford any of big sets, especially Technic ones, so I hope I could get those 8880, 8466 and others later As you may see my recent sets having new features I didn't have before. One thing I believe I'm missing - pneumatics. This is very new and unknown to me and I'd like to explore this LEGO feature too. I wish you guys to suggest me the best set to get acquainted with pneumatics and enjoy it. There are two sets I found and interested: 8462 Tow Truck (1998 year set) 8110 Unimog - prices decreased so it is possible find a good deal on MISB set, not sure if it has cool pneumatic features. Any ideas are welcome.
