Same as PhyBuilder - saw some tractor model, saw tractor photo and where is the lego version. I had to check once more to see that first tractor model is actually lego version. Really very accurate and nice MOC.
@ S.I. Here is one new, sealed even for 125 Eur: http://aukro.cz/lego-42009-technic-je-uplne-nove-a-zabalene-i4174570330.html "Stadard shops" here are selling it righ now for approx 136 Euro: http://megahracky.cz/lego-technic-42009--mobilni-jerab-mk-ii
At least in Europe (I am from Czec) price already went down a bit - it is no problém to get it for approx 130 Euro - which I consider as good price/value ratio.
8110 is also really good, already not so easy - but still possible to get it for good price. But it has PF, pneumatic, suspension, differentials, good wheels and generaly big amount of parts
9398 is now probably cheapest way how to get RC, PF including servo motor in set
I have degree in mechanical engineering and Technic learned me definitely a lot when I was a child. I even think that Lego, Merkur (another toy, bit different from Lego) and one my high school teacher had significant influence on my final decision to study mechanical engineering.
Hi, have similar story - just returned to lego in my 32 and find it amazing. I have started directly wiht 42009 and now upgraded it into ultimate and really love it. Instruction with parts overview for extended boom are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yzsi6ljbxfnicdb/Boom%2042009.pdf - you need to just combine/compare it with Jurgens additional parts list (suppose you have it or?) As for parts supply try bricklink.com - it will helps you to find best source.
Looks just awesome. I finished ulitmate short time ago and love it. Only things I would like really add to ultimate is at least one more powered axle and was thinking that suspension would be also nice...And you already workig on ultimate version of ultimate adding exactly these features. Also design looks really good. My wife won'y be happy, but if you rellease some kind of instriuctions of final version I probably won't resist...
Hello!
after more theń 15 years I am back in Lego love. And Technic has really changed (for good).
42009 got me back. I could not resist and just has to make Ultimate version. And it is just awesome (thanks Jurgen).So far I bought also 8110 (already damm expensive) and 42000. 8258 and 8070 on the way. Any proposals what should be next? Actually I am buying all this for my two years old son, course:)
I am just slowly building and collecting experience for own MOC. Thinking about John Deere 9560r. But not have enough time for it right now:( .
