What set gives the best bang for your buck?

Just a small update, I got my bricklink order on monday and I got 42043 in the mail today.  It is half built.  Loving the build so far.  Lots of new pieces to me.

Glad to hear, it is quite different then my NXT 2.0 set, that is for sure.

At full RRP, 42055 is the best value.

However, Technic is regularly discounted so sets like the Claas, Volvo (for the pneumatics) or Mercedes can also be excellent value if reduced by 30-50%.

It also depends on what parts you have and want to build. With 42042 you already have loads of tracks - the Mercedes is great for pneumatics and tyres.

If it´s panels you want then the 2017 boat and jet are also decent choices but are too new to be discounted.

42039 endurance racer is another nice panel and wheel pack if you can still find it cheap.

I agree that 42055 is very good price for parts value but imho the 24 hours race car has a special place with the class xerion
