Posted June 10, 20168 yr i have been looking over the parts list for this set, it has some quite rare parts....but thankfully i finally got almost everything i needed to build it. though i have several other sets that i want to build/part out over this one. should i go for it?....any review of this or thoughts from those who have it? i do admit that forklits are very rare in technic sets, in fact i dont belive i have a single forklift!. just my spares are limited right now and i dont want to deplete my inventory..... ?
June 10, 20168 yr Glancing at average selling prices, wow this set has held its value really well. IMO I was never a fan of it. I don't personally own the set, so I can't speak for it, but there are a few short reviews here http://brickset.com/sets/8416-1/Fork-Lift
June 10, 20168 yr 8416 is a fantastic model. Best forklift in the Technic series. Highly recommended.
June 11, 20168 yr The Lego Car Blog did a review of all of the Lego forklift sets a while ago. Hope it's a useful link: https://thelegocarblog.com/2014/03/04/fork-off/
June 11, 20168 yr 8416 is great. Only bettered in my mind by 850, though that is more nostalgia than objectivity on my part
June 11, 20168 yr I own it and it's really a good set. Playability is excellent and the look is really nice. It only lacks advanced functions and contraptions (the only two mechanical functions are steering and telescopic fork lifting, plus manual fork tilting), but the telescopic cable forklifting and the cool look make it a permanent presence on my shelf!
June 11, 20168 yr i do admit that forklits are very rare in technic sets You're joking, right? A forklift is the quintessential Technic set http://technicopedia.com/forklifts.html
