88003 PF L and 88004 Servo finally sold at LEGO.com!

I see you writing about the V2 receiver.

I don't want to hijack this topic, but can someone lead me to more info about the new receiver (difference to the old one)?

[Cwetqo]

In short: it can take more current. It was introduced woth 9398 4x4 crawler, which needed two large (L) motors on one channel. Only outside difference is "v2" printed on front.

"Why do i have the feeling that Europeans are paying a premium for the motors?"

Just brought two L motors from Lego on-line at £11.99 each plus postage and using my VIP points lowered the cost even more.

Delivered in 4 days.

Were on sale at eBay at £13.99 each but now increased to £19.99 each plus postage !!!

Why do i have the feeling that Europeans are paying a premium for the motors?

Considering the net price of around 12€ for the L-Motor (without sales tax, German S@H) the US net prices should be somewhere around 16.10$ (1€=1.34$).

The German S@H charges about a 16.5% more.

The servo price difference is less drastic though.

well in sweden the L motor cost 169 SEK =~19.25€, so i guess sweden set the new standard for "premium".

Servo motor is no longer showing up on the U.S. S@H website. It was never available for sale, so maybe they decided to re-list it once it does become available for sale? That is my hope anyway.

Nearly all the PF products have disappeared from the Lego on line shop for all counties except USA and Canada.

Only the Servo motor 88004 / PF motor set 8293 / Charger 8887 are shown !!!!

They must be doing an update. It would be a shame if people cannot get their power functions.

PS: The servo is now showing on the Technic page of lego shop.

Just bought two servos from lego shop Glasgow,they also had L motors.

But no sign of any v2 receivers.

[quilkin]

Just received 2 L-motors (purchased from Lego UK but shipped from the Netherlands in 2 days!): if you don't have any, I can recommend them. With so many fixing holes they are far more versatile than the M motor, only slightly bigger but much easier to design into a MOC.

This should get rid of my excuse of never using L Motors! (:

Obviously this will drive down BL prices, so even IF the motors are overpriced, I still think we should all be glad we can buy them separate from, say, $200 sets.

I've tried ordering a power functions set from lego and it's on back order until mid january, they still took the order though.

I did get a M and L motor, speed remote, IR sensor (v1) and lights through the post today - servo motor unavailable to Europeans at the moment!

I have ordered a "damaged box" 4x4 crawler so I will get a servo motor, just a very expensive way to get one.

This technic hobby was meant to be cheap winter fun.....
