Posted September 3, 201014 yr Shop.Lego.com is selling the 2009 Lego Technic flagship, the 8258 Crane Truck: http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=8258&cn=57&d=70 . Select your country on the top drop-down menu to get the price in your currency. They are available in all of the countries listed EXCEPT Canada and South Korea. So, if you missed out on getting one and want to build an impressive model, now's your chance. Consider making one of two modifications to the 8258 by "Han" on this website: http://www.designer-han.nl/lego/original%20modifications.htm .
September 3, 201014 yr For those in the UK, Argos have the 8258 in their end-of-catalogue clearance range for the reduced price of £87.99. They are scarce admittedly, but after a thorough search, managed to find several available within reasonable travelling distance. One now resides in a "safe" place as my Christmas pressie..!! Search under Argos clearance, select high to low search and it is currently third down on the list. Good luck!!
September 3, 201014 yr I don't understand this... Has the 8258 been unavailable for some time ? It has been availably continuesly in The Netherlands as far as I know of. It's a wonderful set, and Designer Han's modifications are very reccomendable, but it's an older set...
September 3, 201014 yr I had found one a couple of months back in summer clearence for 70 euros, maybe someone else is lucky and will also find one. (Ratio in germany) They also had frontloader for 40, and the windmill transport is still stocked for some really low price by me. Edited September 3, 201014 yr by S.I

Hi, Thanks for the tip, I got it at the price at a local store - just called in and ordered it. They said it was back ordered but they will get it to me from another store :)
September 4, 201014 yr Still not available in Canada, and the weird thing, there's not even a price shown... It's a very nice collection if parts, I'd buy a second set.
September 4, 201014 yr This has been unavailable in the US since around Nov 09 (definitely was out of stock everywhere before Christmas), so thank you for telling us. Ordered mine.
September 5, 201014 yr Was really happy when I found 8258 right after christmas in the BOD of a big grocer. Believe it or not - I got it for Euro 12,99. The price of a Star Wars Battle Pack or, if it sounds better, I only had to pay for the XL-motor of the set. Box was still sealed but the cover was missing. But for that price ...
