Jim Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 The new technic sets are in the Lego Stores in Germany. I got mine There was a german Afol who bought both the crane and the Tow Truck right in front of me, anyone from here? (yesterday evening at around 18hrs in Oberhausen) On my way to Koln (Germany) as we speak. There's a Lego store there. Hope I can resist Did you get the crane? Quote
bord4kop Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Yep I did. Had to do it You will too, you cannot go by this set.. You know you want too Started building yesterday. Got as far as book 2 in about 1,5hrs. Still much much left (fortunately ) The better part of the first booklet is not much fun, I was a bit disappointed actually. But once the gears start coming it gets more interesting, some nice -new?- techniques are used also. I think it will be a fun build after all, maybe it can even compete with building the 8043 (my all-time favourite ) Edited July 5, 2013 by bord4kop Quote
aminnich Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Do you think you could post pics as you build?? I think it woud be greatly appreciated from all of us. Edited July 5, 2013 by aminnich Quote
skriblez Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Toys r us in Norway should have the sets in at a bit lower price than S@H in the start of august the lady said. Quote
jantjeuh Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Looks like I'm just 150 parts shy of building 42009 - I think I'll just bricklink it :D Quote
merman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 There is a lot wrong with the inventory of 42009 and 42008 on rebrickable. The dark and light greys are mixed up all the time and trans orange is mistaken for yellow i put the inventories on Bricklink. Quote

merman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Well Rebrickable is all wrong with 42009 and to a lesser extend 42008. Most parts, especially the beams, are all put in Light Bluish Grey and hardly any Dark Bluish Grey Quote

I think it will be a fun build after all, maybe it can even compete with building the 8043 (my all-time favourite ) I have had the pleasure to hold the box, but I could somehow easily resist. I think I am suffering from MTADS (minor technic attention deficiency syndrome) or something, because Technic doesn't do it for me at the moment. Quote
aminnich Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I would have bought that thing the second i touched it. Quote
Jim Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I would have bought that thing the second i touched it. Normally I would be ecstatic to find a new flagship available, let alone holding it in my hands I still have four unopened Technic models eagerly awaiting to be built. Guess I am having one of my Star Wars periods Quote

Jim Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Which four technic sets have you not opened yet?? Let's be careful not to derail this discussion by going too much off topic. However, it might be a nice conversation topic for another thread. (I will start a new topic) Quote

EyesOnly Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Thank you for this merman. Now i've got something to pass the time. Quote
DLuders Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Merman! Now, it would be great to get ahold of the PDF Building Instructions for the 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition set.... Edited July 10, 2013 by DLuders Quote
astra Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks, Merman! Now, it would be great to get ahold of the PDF Building Instructions for the 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition set.... There is a B-model, as far as I know even mentioned in this thread. It contains a truck, container and container loader. Opinions about that model vary, some like it, some don't. Quote

Opinions about that model vary, some like it, some don't. I think he meant, that the instructions are not yet available on the website. Quote
merman Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Yes, that was what I meant. The name of the file of the B model is easy to guess... Quote
davidmull Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks, Merman! Now, it would be great to get ahold of the PDF Building Instructions for the 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition set.... You do mean 9398 with a new shell :) Quote

paul_delahaye Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Very annoyed, want the tow truck, Lego Store stratford says they have them in stock out the back but won't sell me one until the 27th August, something to do with the launch of the new Argos catalogue, so silly, Lego now loose my £80 sale to Argos on the 27th as I'm not travelling back to a brand store any time soon. They make 50 - 60% less money from my sale, it does annoy me as I'd far rather support Lego directly than through a third party. Quote
N-4K0 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I guess they can't start selling it earlier when TLG have put a certain date. Annoying, yes, but little we can do. Quote
skriblez Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Lady at TRU told me they should have them at the end of July start of August so i am hopeful. Quote
therealjustin Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Any news on the release date for the U.S.? I keep hearing August 5th for S@H Quote
