efferman Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Of course the Unimog is for her, when she's old enough ;-) you made my day Finally i have finished my first 8110 and i must say with the designprocess was going something wrong. The cab is minimum 2 studs and the platform 4 studs too narrow. If you look from above, the cab and flatbed looks like from a too small scale. i can understand if the designer want a chunky look with a wide Trackwidth, but if i call a modell like the original, it should look like the original thing. And not that the mudguards are wider than the platform. picture source much things to optimize Quote
Arfman Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Picked 3 Unimog's up yesterday from my favourite shop. One for a friend, one for my father-in-law and one for me, for €145 per set. Quite a good price I think :) Building it now, just took a break from the building session, so far so good. Nothing extraordinary but a fun build nonetheless. Quote

davidmull Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I see this set is available from Argos Ireland from Wednesday the 3rd :) it's very unusual tho that Ireland's leading toy company smyths still doesn't even have it listed on there site yet :( cost in Ireland is €199 which is quiet expensive, Lego 8043 last year here was €169, Quote

K9DOG Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 at amazon.de it is currently at 152€. maybe you can order it there Hi, Do you know if Amazon.de, ships everywere in Europe? thx Quote
efferman Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) i know that amazon.co.uk ships to germany, so i think amazon.de ships to whole europe too. but iam not sure Edited July 31, 2011 by efferman Quote
tripletschiee Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Of course the Unimog is for her, when she's old enough ;-) Same here. My two boys got big eyes, when we went to the Lego shop to pick up the unimog. It will be theirs, when they are old enough. :o) Regards, Gerhard Quote
frontier74 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I'm going downtown tomorrow and I am planning to stop by the Lego store to see if they have the Mog. If they don't, I'll have to get the 8043 to pass the time. Do you think they'll have it in the States? Quote
allanp Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) I see this set is available from Argos Ireland from Wednesday the 3rd :) it's very unusual tho that Ireland's leading toy company smyths still doesn't even have it listed on there site yet :( cost in Ireland is €199 which is quiet expensive, Lego 8043 last year here was €169, It may be more expensive, but you get more model for your money, and lots of new parts as well as various different kinds of complexity, not just gears like the excavator, this has gears (almost as many as the excavator), pneumatics, suspention and so on and so forth. So for a model that is actually MORE complex than the excavator and bigger and alot more parts, some of those parts never seen before, this is still great value. Remember complex technic parts are more difficult to produce than regular Lego, but even with a motor and the liscencing the price per piece is still lower than alot of what TLG releases nowadays. Not sure I can wait till christmas day (my traditional time for building the flagship ). Could be the first set I buy more than one of at a single time. BTW has anyone noticed something odd in this video? (apart from the guy having an apparent desire to destroy everything he touches! ) The 16t clutch gear seems to have been altered slighty in that it now has a smooth end instead of having notched teeth the accept the old style half bush. Seems like a logical step. Edited July 31, 2011 by allanp Quote
flyz Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 It's listed on S@H for certain regions. http://shop.lego.com/en-DE/Mercedes-Benz-Unimog-U-400-8110?c=TECHNIC-ByTheme&_requestid=6553997' Nothing for US/Canada yet though Quote
chaosof99 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Does anybody have a parts list for the snowplow only? TechnicBRICKS posted the Snowplough parts list created by one of their readers called Ryan. Ask and ye shall receive, I guess, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who asked :) Edited August 1, 2011 by chaosof99 Quote
Jim Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Impressive is the correct word. The gear system, despite the problems it had, is a piece of art and reminded me of the 8480 space shuttle. - Sok. Exactly my point. I am pleased with this set, but I would like to be flabbergasted. Have you picked it up already? Quote
buddy Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The 8110 Unimog U400 is now available from S@H for a price of £154.99, £5 cheaper than Argos's price. Link ~buddy~ Quote
Chasealex Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 But S@H charges 3.95 postage, so realistically, you only save £1.04, and you have to wait a bit longer Quote
Jim Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 going to get mine now ! :) Good luck, have fun! Quote

Arfman Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 Where'd you get them for that price? At the Top 1 Toys store in Oldenzaal, The Netherlands. So far the cheapest I have seen it for, and it's only a 30 kilomter drive for me. And the owners are true Lego (Technic) nuts, prepare to spend at least an hour in the shop talking about all kinds of Technic if you mention you're an AFOL (although they also have an uncanny way of figuring that out themselves, or were the 3 Unimog's a giveaway? :D) Anyway, if you're local, Tuesday (tomorrow) they get a next batch of Unimog's.

According to this online Currency Converter, USD $199.99 equals CAD $190.23 and 138.78 Euros. I was actually surprised that it was going for $199.99/$249.99, the same price as 8043. It's much more expensive in every other region. By the way, is it true that if a retail Lego store is out of stock on a set, they'll ship it to your door for free? Edited August 1, 2011 by flyz Quote
