8295 Telescopic Handler Review

[DLuders]

That mount is used in the alternate model.

The instructions for the 8295-2 (alternate "B" Model) can be downloaded from http://technic.lego.com/en-us/BuildingInst...fault.aspx#8295 Group . I see the 61905 piece at the base of the Linear Actuator for the "Log Loader" B-model.

May be you are right.

But members have to be objective when they write a review. Otherwise, it is useless, and even deceptive for the one who wants to buy the set !!

Giving 4,5 to such a model is just nonsense !!

4,5 is a mark for awesome models, such as 8480, 8421, and probably 8258.

On my website, I did many reviews. And I think that I'm objective (I try to be, at least).

For example, #10143, #8289, #8274 or #8386 don't deserve more than 2/5, for several reasons.

And sometimes, B-model get 1/5 (8274-B, 8275-B, etc).

A review must be written to inform people in an objective way. Otherwise, it is useless.

Υes I agree that reviers must be objective but everyone has it's own opinion I love the 8295,8289 and 8274 so I will give them a 4.5,this is my opinion and if someone disagrees with me he can just tell it and review the set on his own...

Anyway,congratulation to the reviewer,great review!!! I love the functionality and the awesome look of the telehandler,it doesn't look skeletal as other technic sets!I love the 4 wheel steering!

i agree that the steering mechanism is awful!.....it simply does not work, there is too much friction/resistance from the design to move the wheels.

also....for such a high part count, higher then 8265.....i thought the set was very small, had little real functions.

i bought the power functions pack to motoeize it but the model looked awful after the fact so reveresed course.

i bought mine BNIB and paid 160 Euro as i thought it was a must gave flagship....it was not.

the only real rare elements are the yellow panels and that bionicle linear actuator holder that is ultra rare....overall a very average set.

i agree 8289 is a terrific model, the only fire engine i can remember off hand, well built...not many functions but it looks superb as a finished model, the B model is excellent also. As for 8274...also very interesting and unique. the only combine harvester that i know of....the B model is utter crap though and alot of parts are left over.

I don't think that Anio wanted to make ZO6 incompetent but he wanted to point on some things that was not mentioned in review.

When I'm interested in some Lego set I DO NOT MAKE MY OPINION FROM ONE REVIEW...

I always read more reviews and then I make summary... I think that ZO6 made a real good work, photos etc... Other EB users are here to add and extend the reviews when they have experience with the set...

I don't think that this review is useless... Every review got a CONTRIBUTION... every... it's a editors look on the set... his own opinion...

When ZO6 would not create this topic and review I would probably didn't know that such a set exists because do not look for every set from the past...

The reason that ZO6 made a work to create review and other EB users have written their experience make from this topic great source of information...

That's forum...

Thanks to all... ;)

review opinions are very subjective....i have seen review that scored much higher then i personally would have scored, then there are models that i absoultely loved while other hated them.
