Thanks for the ideas and alternatives. Yes some of the older sets are expensive, but I was planning to limit myself and not buy too much...?

New to Technics, mostly building city, friends, superhero, creator sets with my elementary aged son and daughters during spare time, nights, etc. Looking at buying two to three technic truck sets. Not interested in massive sets due to time constraints and not really interested in motorized functions, nor buying for parts. Most important is a fun build, sets where everyone can learn new and interesting techniques. Nice, but not critical, is play value. Looking at these sets: 8285 or 42070 tow trucks, 9398 or 41999 4X4s, 5571 or 42078 trucks. Please help recommend top 2, top 3 sets to buy. Thanks!
