Smithy

Think this model is due to retail at 149 euros. Think last year bulldozer was about 120 euros when it started retailing. I'm looking forward to building this set. Looks like it'll be one of the most complicated models I've ever built.

Acording to the website with the latest pictures on (brandora.de) the sets are due out in September. Do a search for technic on that site and you should be able to see the sets with alternative pictures.

The photos are realy high quality. How did you take them? I've tried many different things to achieve good photos but have always failed. Shadows, bright spots, have tried different backround and never seemed to some up with somthing that looks good. As it was my second technic set I still prefer the 8860 Car Chassis from 1980!

Hi I'm Smithy Been lurking here for a year and thought it was time I joined. I've had lego for as long as I remeber. My main interest has been Technic lego every since I was given the 8040 pneumatics universal set. Second was the amazing 8860 Super Car set which took me over 2 weeks to build. Over the years I saved up to buy 3 or 4 models a year. Favourite sets were the technic cranes and diggers. In 2005 I used most of my parts to built a 3 meter high electric crawler crane. It could lift over 10kg to that height. Unfortunatly I moved flat and had to dismantle it. After moving I decided to catalogue all my parts and to sell them on bricklink. It was a hard decision to take but I was getting old (35). After 6 months on bricklink I was selling quite a bit but started getting orders for like 100 parts, 1 of each, costing £10 and decided it wasn't worth it anymore. I still buy one or two sets a year. My lastest being the Technic Bulldozer with remote control. My avatar is very close to being an actual photo of me!
