January 11, 201411 yr Well i for one wont be making any decisions until i see more pictures and preferably some instructions, and that will arrive at about the same time as i will have saved up enough money to even think about buying this thing. So i'll wait So no one know what the second vehicle is. I remember TB:s calling it a truck but that's not very specific.
January 11, 201411 yr I too reserve judgement until I know more details: so far I'm still on the fence regarding all three sets.
January 12, 201411 yr Thanks for the links. I briefly looked at the link to the Chinese forum (?) yesterday, but the pics were gone when I checked it today to look for the details that was mentioned on the previous side of this thread. Even though the pic is blurry, I can recognize a Volvo loader, even though it looks like the 8265. Edited January 12, 201411 yr by Error404
January 12, 201411 yr Thanks a lot, my friend! Did no one else notice the wheels from that second image are power puller wheels!?
January 12, 201411 yr Did no one else notice the wheels from that second image are power puller wheels!? Looks like 81.4s to me.
January 12, 201411 yr Did no one else notice the wheels from that second image are power puller wheels!? They are most definitely not, unfortunately
January 12, 201411 yr Set 42028 will be a Bulldozer, according to the Hungarian Site: http://www.ilsejatekbolt.hu/index.php?oldal=katalogus&n=42028 615 pieces
January 12, 201411 yr Don't think we will ever see the return of the Power Puller Wheels. If we ever do see anything similar they would at least be lighter I'd have thought. Not much they make these days though requires such large tires, the 8110 or 9398 wheels suffice, and they are large models in themselves. Not too please at the moment by the news of the Volvo Front Loader, but and not going to make a final judgement until we find out more. There might be something beneath all the yellow that might make it worthwhile. Bulldozer seems interesting though, don't recall having seen one made in that parts scale before.
January 12, 201411 yr The only other recent bulldozer i remember is 8275 but that was twice as many pieces. OK had a look at BS and there was an even smaller one in 2009, after that only far older ones. I got surpriced before when the number of sets mentioned was 3 but now i get which once people are talking about. I haven't been keeping up much for a while so there may well be sets i haven't heard about.
January 12, 201411 yr Happy me... :) I do love front loaders in general, and a bulldozer is coming too... this will be my year.
January 12, 201411 yr I think you will have less functions, using 4 motors, 2 receptors and a battery there won´t be room for the fake engine, I hope for rear pivot suspension at least... why not? the 8265 is smaller and fully rc with fake engine is not a problem in this size 100_0827 von efferman auf Flickr
January 12, 201411 yr Well I hope something like my komatsu, in the 8265 the wheels look too small but we will see... http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76130&hl=%2Bkomatsu+%2Bwa-800 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=531815

January 13, 201411 yr Did no one else notice the wheels from that second image are power puller wheels!? unfortunately not. when you take calculation based on scales of pinholes on bent liftarm that is used as rear mudguard and wheel/tire combo, you will see that it is wheel racing small with Tire 81,6 X 38 R Baloon. But if Front loader will look like one that jorgeopesi made that would be great.
January 13, 201411 yr I never had the pleasure of getting my hands on the Power Puller wheels. I wouldn't mind it if TLG brought them back.
January 13, 201411 yr Scour eBay or other auction sites for used 8466 sets, that's how I get my four. Cheap, too.
