Posted February 17, 201114 yr I'm really liking the look of this truck,does anyone have any ideas how it's going to work ie the tilt and slide mechanism? La or gear driven,I think it's a real eye catcher too :)also will it be the same scale as the blue container truck or bigger?
February 17, 201114 yr I'm guessing that it will be gear driven. It looks slightly larger than the blue 8052 Container Truck pictured below. Conchas has his own ideas on TechnicBRICKS. Edited February 18, 201114 yr by DLuders
February 18, 201114 yr Whatever it is with all those black panels it is guaranteed to be a big seller.
May 15, 201113 yr alone the black panels made this truck a "must have" Well, actually all the panels. There are plenty of them. Definitely must have.
May 15, 201113 yr Very decent looks and unusual colour scheme together with a plenty of panels... yes, I will buy it.
May 15, 201113 yr Does anyone know when this will be realised? As late as the unimog, or a bit earlier? I hope earlier Edited May 15, 201113 yr by Traktor
May 15, 201113 yr I believe this is the first time we see the alternative model, right? Anyhow, I think the primary is one good looking truck. I like the color scheme. Not so sure about the alternate yet, have to see it from the front, but the functionality looks interesting.
May 15, 201113 yr I think it can be called "Panel Truck". In comparison to container truck 8052 this one is surely bigger, contains plenty of panels and I expect there is plenty of gears too. B-model is more interesting than 8052 alternate as well and I like its scissor mechnism. Maybe, I will add it to my collection... by the way is any front view to B-model available?
May 15, 201113 yr When did Lego start to display part count on the box? I do not think last year sets had that.
May 16, 201113 yr The 8109 Flatbed Truck has 1115 pieces, and PF Battery Box and M-Motor. The 8070 Super Car has 1281 pieces, and a PF Battery Box and M-Motor. Therefore I suspect that TLG will sell 8109 for about 90% of the price of the 8070. So about US$100 or UK£90 or AU$180. But that is just my guess... I'm liking the look of these, and I think that I'll have to get at least one, maybe two (one for the B-model). I like the way that the B-Model has a red cab, whereas the A-model has a yellow cab. But it doesn't look like there are lots of mechanisms in these. Just a tilting (and sliding?) bed, steering, and a simple winch for the A-model, and a scissor mechanism, steering and a simple winch for the B-model. When did Lego start to display part count on the box? I do not think last year sets had that. Technic sets have had piece counts on some of their boxes over the years, including last year - such as the box of the 8043 excavator. Edited May 16, 201113 yr by Splat
May 16, 201113 yr look at the box in the right upper corner. it seems that it has a fork to tow a car.

To clear this up: Some regions make mention of the parts count because of legal obligations. This is the case for the Americas. European often don't have the piece count. I love the joke with the hook that tears the orange band...
May 16, 201113 yr On SeTechnic, we finally found how 8109-B works to rise the arm : Under the battery box, we can see the small dark bluish gray 8t. It works with a with clutch (you can see it too). At the end of this axis (in the middle of the chassis), there is a worm gear which works with a 24t (you can see 2 or 3 teeth of the 24t). On the same axis of this 24t, there is a black 12t. And with this last gear, the 13L rack can slide (you can see the rack on the left of the only red connector in the chassis). Hope my message is understandable (not sure ).
May 16, 201113 yr Hi everybody ! To show you what Anio was saying, I've reproduced the trailer of the 8109-B : If you're interested, I can post a video tomorrow :)
May 16, 201113 yr Nice work! I'am wondering if there is a conection between this B-model and the contanier truck B-model, sinc both of them look like some airport equipment. And about the price, I think this will cost the same or more than the last year mobile crane sinc it has an engine and a batterybox. Lego seems to charge a lot for the engine parts.
May 16, 201113 yr really would like to get this set mostly for the catering truck, now i need to figure out what to do to make it a box style truck...
May 16, 201113 yr Author Has this set not got la,s so to work the flat bed?if not it's disappointing because a real one had hydraulics, Edited May 16, 201113 yr by davidmull
