February 4, 201510 yr Author ...maybe is you!!! LOL you wish..... errrr.. wait, perhaps I wish (given the 200 red #3 connectors) :laugh:
February 4, 201510 yr Where do you see orange on the Arcos? Well... I guess I might have been wrong! When I initially looked it looked like they were under the pneumatic switches under the red tiles. Upon closer examination across many different photos and videos I am now unsure. The lighting changes and makes it quite difficult to determine red vs orange....though it looks different from the tiles which are red in plenty of the shots.
February 4, 201510 yr Pretty sure there's no orange in the Arocs, it all seems to be red. Shame though, seems like orange 1 x 9 beams will remain very expensive.
February 5, 201510 yr Author I am an idiot. I realize the the Super Street Sensation set has a couple of the #3 red connectors (which originally prompted the post) and lots of flex axles. Both of which are incredibly rare and expensive but both in abundance on the SSS. Which I have Typically I hate to steal stuff from other collectors' items that i have, but in this case I will make an exception.

If you're tearing down your 8448, I'll gladly buy a couple of pieces off of you ... lol The kids have been playing with mine and lost one of the long grey ribbed hoses, that serve as styling for the two doors.

February 5, 201510 yr I honestly thought everyone in the Technic community knew that #3 red connectors were rare. Last month I got 18kg of mixed technic parts - there I found four #3 red connectors ...and some more very rare parts. Greetings Alex
February 5, 201510 yr Just buy 8070 or 8448 second-handed and stop worrying I got 2 x 8448 for a good deal and that helped me bring my total to 65 #3 red connectors so I think I have enough now and wont buy any more losse , cause I want others to also be able to get this part for their mocs. I just ended up with so many because I wanted to make Sheepos Mustang in red (my fav colour) . I also got 2 8448's because I love the set .
February 5, 201510 yr I'm really not sure the point of this conversation... since the topic of #3 red connectors came up I decided to log into Bricklink... there at the top of the list was a USA seller with 14 used #3 red connectors for $0.68 each. I have bought from this seller a few times and so I now have 14 extra #3 red connectors.
February 5, 201510 yr The part is more rare (and expensive) in Europe, I guess. More Technic fanatics here. Either way, people just want this part for Sheepo's Mustang. There are a lot of parts that are even more rare and/or expensive, like PP wheels. Edited February 5, 201510 yr by jantjeuh
