Hello, senior members: Indian resident here. I need some guidance on buying the Liebherr. For me, buying in India is not an option. I have a short trip to Germany coming up in Dec (first half) and I can ask a local friend there to buy the Liebherr before that time. However, current Amazon.de prices are around Euro430. I think that's expensive. Can you folks guide me on what should I do? Should I wait until end Nov to buy it OR will prices increase as Christmas comes closer? I apologise in advance, if this is the wrong sub-topic to post but I am only looking at buying this specific Lego. Thank you friends.

Nice work :)

Argos (UK) is having a good sale for this beauty: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8366306 A noticeable price reduction ... now, how to get these from UK to India :(

Exceptionally beautiful and close to the real version ?

My money is on mad genius ?

Can you please provide the link for these models? @Jim has confirmed that they are from @nico71 but am not able search for these in Nico’s website.

Hello. Am not sure if you guys have a YouTube search but a new video by someone called ‘Takwoonken YU’ has been uploaded and it shows a full RC 42082. Very impressive.

Really cool - liked the turn with wheels in air. Will wait for the version with stickers

It is a very beautiful C model. I am very impressed with the number of functions achieved on a single motor. Congratulations on a very impressive outcome.

Fantastic

This is just too good. I can only imagine the hours of planning and designing out into the effort.

Thanks. Luckily - I have the space to go beyond 34 inches for the case.

Thanks. This helps me.

Absolutely unbelievable ... this truly is a labour of love. Hats off to you. SKR

Dear Vassal: Many thanks for taking time out to reply and for your pointers on the choice. You reduced the entire debate to such a fine distillate ;) I'm getting a new Arocs for around US$180 while a used Volvo set seems to be available at around US$170. Should that change the discussion? Currently, I am still veering towards the Arocs from my heart but my mind is considering the Volvo for the same reason that you mention - from a cost/ efficiency perspective for the RC parts. For the boxes/ storage solution, with my 2 kids in the apartment, asking for a dedicated work area is unthinkable. I do however need some proper storage boxes/ containers as the sets are loosing pieces now. I will look at the thread you linked and then try to buy something similar - in terms of size etc. Thanks for that too. Regards, Sandeep

Hello Forum seniors: I am a newbie from India. I have a whole load of the earlier / smaller Technic sets (Sub $50) - Cars/ bikes from around 2012. I purchased a 42009 (MK II Crane) in 2015 and trust me, after converting the $ to Rupee equation, it was a huge amount. Well, I now have a nice situation where I need your guidance - I got a tidy bonus in this month and friends from US can bring a Technic set for me. I am looking at the 42043 (Arocs) or the 42030 (Volvo). I have been reading this section for some answers on which to select and honestly, am not able to make a decision. I am seeing the 42043 at around $200 while the 42030 is a shade higher at around $240. So, my lead question is - starting with 42009 (MK II Crane) already at home, which should be the second set I buy - the 42043 (Arocs) or the 42030 (Volvo)? I'm looking at reusability for possible MOD pieces between the 2 sets with 42009 already in the house. I'm tilting a little towards the 42043 because of its cool looks (the yellow Volvo in 42030 does not look that cool since I have already got the 42009 Volvo crane) but then the guidance of this Forum is most appreciated. On a related note, can you also please give me some recommendations on storage boxes for the smaller Technics (I intend to merge them) as well as for the 42009? Thank you in advance. Sincerely, Newbie from India
