blakeatron Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Picked mine up today, hopefully building this weekend. Box is very nice with some good images of the B model on the rear. Not yet broken the seals! Quote

Alasdair Ryan Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 It seems that some of my photos have made it to TecknicBricks. (I should of cleaned the carpet ) Quote
Pauger Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Never mind the carpet. You should take some more pictures! Quote
Wiseman_2 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Could we get a few photos of the instructions? Specifically the steps where the gearbox is assembled? Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Coming right up. Edited January 24, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
Wiseman_2 Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks Looks pretty complex, and kinda reminds me of the one I built into a MOC last August... I like how it is built as a separate unit then placed in the model, should allow for easy customization (not by me though, I don't have the spare parts ). Quote
Tacker Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Getting mine tomorrow afternoon after work Quote
bb15080 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Great that it is in the UK shops, but why hasn't it surfaced in the USA yet? This was the one I was looking for the most for 1H2012, anybody have any idea if its headed here anytime soon? Me and Camaro365 we're just discussing it. It also hasn't surfaced in the Netherlands. The more I read about it the more I want it Edited January 26, 2012 by bb15080 Quote
Tacker Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Seems odd that it’s in UK now. I don’t normally buy a kit until ive seen the building instructions. But nothing on the UK Lego site. I may order a 2nd one to build a trailer for it to pull. Quote
Optiflow Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Has anyone seen the instructions for the b-model yet? Quote
sama Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Some dude already has 9397. And other dude has other video. NO NUMBERS (on bags)!!! Edited January 27, 2012 by sama Quote
DarkShadow73 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 From what I have seen, most sets seem to be released in the UK first, like all the 2H2010 sets. Wanted that 8043 Excavator bad, but it took more than a month after it appeared on UK S@H site to get to the USA. I don't quite understand Lego's theory on this at all. It also hasn't surfaced in the Netherlands. The more I read about it the more I want it Quote
gmshades Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I don't know if it;s been mentioned yet, but on the Toys R Us sight its says the Logging Truck comes with 1308 pcs. Quote
DarkShadow73 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Just checked the USA TRU website. The awaited 9397 Logging Truck is up on the site available. Couldn't find in store though yet. Bought it online Saturday afternoon, then thought I might buy a 2nd one for the 'b' model, but by evening they were out of stock already, incredible they sold all they had so quick, but could be that TRU Distribution Centers only were sent a small amount.

Erik Leppen Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Coming right up. [images] It's scary how close this setup is to my own gearbox in one of my MOCs Quote

technicfan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Does anyone know the dimensions of the new mini turntable?. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) It is 3x 3 studs. Edited January 28, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
Peppermint_M Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 This would be better suited to the BSTF forum. Moving Quote
BachAddict Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Has anyone seen the instructions for the b-model yet? The guy with the video said he contacted TLG and they said the shop shouldn't have been selling the set yet, as release date is March. They will be available closer to that date. Quote
DarkShadow73 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Excuse me, Peppermint, but this was posted in the Eurobricks and Technic forum. This truck, if you will check your facts first, was posted in THAT part of the forum. What the hell is it with you people anyway, are you against Americans??? This would be better suited to the BSTF forum. Moving BTW - I'm moving it back to the Technic/Mindstorms forum. You got a problem with it, PM me... This would be better suited to the BSTF forum.

Siegfried Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Do you get off challenging forum authority or something? Yes, this belongs in the BSTF and that's where it will stay. Why? Because it's local news. I'm not from the USA, and many people from this site aren't either. If a topic was created every time every set was available in every country can you imagine how silly the forum would get? A new topic is to discuss something new, not to mention a simple fact. How much discussion can be made about this? Not much. Thus I will close this topic and merge it later with the other one. Now please stop wasting the last few hours of my weekend. BTW - I'm moving it back to the Technic/Mindstorms forum. You got a problem with it, PM me... I just had a better idea. I've merged them all with the existing topic, and changed the title so you don't feel like we hate Americans. (You are aware the two of the admins and many of the mods are from the USA... ) Why you didn't post it here in the first place is quite beyond me. Quote
allanp Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Does anyone know the dimensions of the new mini turntable?. It's gear has 28 teeth, so it's the same size as the current differentials outer gear. Quote
