[FuzzyBallz]

fuzzyballz, you have the boss? are you in the top hundred?

I wish! No, just talking about getting the boss on day one from S@H and waiting on the other 2.

Rather odd, Argos in the UK is listing the new Crane 42009 at £20.00 more expensive than Lego.com/shop, this is an unusual move, unless they will be offering a £20 discount starting tomorrow!

[Daniel-Technic]

For your info, 42008 and 42009 is now at lego shop in uk.

Bought 42009 for £149.99 today. Happy!

Argos selling for £179.99, 30 quids dearer, yikes!

[paul_delahaye]

lol, good to see my maths is up to scratch! £30 not £20 :-)

[kjhubb]

I just bought the 42009 at the Lego Store at Downtown Disney. $220.00

[therealjustin]

The new Technic sets are up(preview only) on S@H USA.

Available August 1st as predicted.

[chorlton]

42008 and 42009 are up on the UK shop.lego.com and appear to be avialble to buy now. No sign of 41999.

[skriblez]

Up on the Norwegian S@H for silly expensive prices. Hopefully TRU has them cheaper. 42008 and 42009 are there, no 42999 yet

[EyesOnly]

Here in sweden tru and s@h have about the same prices. No summer sets yet though on s@h but the crane is on tru. Not a low price but lower than the preview price i saw at s@h.

Yep, just checked TRU, they have both 42008 and 42009 100 kr cheaper than S@H.

Wow, so lucky. The TRU around here mark up all large LEGO sets by 20%, it's retarded. Actually, they mark up all LEGO sets by 20%. Basically anytime the TRU around here have a sale, you're paying the MSRP price. I love Target a lot more because when they do sale, you're actually paying less. Too bad they don't really carry Technic sets. But I get a lot of City and Creator sets for my nephew at Target during sales.

[skriblez]

Yeah, i am going to TRU right after work tomorrow for the crane!

[Bricktrain]

on S@H today 42008 = $199.95NZ, 42009 = $349.95NZ

42009 is the same price as the crawler, $50 less than the Unimog was so thats a bonus, no 41999 yet though.

[Wiseman_2]

Picked up 42009 from the Lego store at Leeds Trinity (UK) today at £149.99, pleasantly surprised that it's cheaper than the Unimog was. And they threw this in free too.

And the box is heavy. Really, really heavy. To me at least

[Eigenbroetler]

42009 42008 42005 42001 out now on S@H sweden.

[MrNumbskull13]

Well I have a video that I could upload to "you've been framed" if I get the £250 I shall get the Exclusive Crawler... If I don't then I don't get the set :(

It's so strange how they price the sets at different countries. I was looking at UK the other day (if I remember correctly), and the Unimog is actually cheaper than the 4x4 Crawler (9398). It doesn't make any sense!

#41999 cost me $250 via Polish S@H :(

S@H priced the Mobile Crane MK II at KR1899 some time ago, when I could see a price in Norwegian currency. Now I get redirected from lego.com/nb-no/ to lego.com/en-US/ when I click on the marker to find out the price. Right now, KR1899 is around $321 (xe.com).

The TRU price is KR1799, which is around $304.

I'm still not sure if I should buy the crane, there's too much of the parts I neither want or need. It's too much gears and small/bent beams I don't need, and too much 2L black pins.

I want to build the truck from the B-model, but I wonder if I should just try to order parts I want and need from Bricklink instead of buying this set. I'll only end up with way to much parts I don't want, which will end up in the garbage or something.

I can keep all your extra parts safe for you

Good one I haven't made up my mind yet, which, knowing myself, will take some time.

I got some money refunded from my taxes for last year, + some money for some small jobs I've done, so adding them up I can buy the crane and technically pay maybe less than half of the full price.

Going by that, I can buy it and just give away the parts I don't want or need. I keep all of my parts in a few sorting boxes, and I already have 1 tray full of 3x5 L-shaped beams, and 1 tray full of gears. In addition I have all the "gearbox" gears with pin holes and stuff separate, and it's just too much. And more will come if I buy the crane.

So, if I buy it, I can very well send the gears and stuff I don't want or need to you, skriblez, if you want them

"I do not want these Lego parts" - said no one ever ;)

[N-4K0]

I say it I usually build various MOCs, and spend alot of the time modifying them, but I'm not into gearboxes and such. I don't have the brain to come up with things like that on my own. So such parts are useless to me.

[skriblez]

He is the first of his kind :P
