October 25, 201311 yr How about blue? Looks like 42024 is finally going to bring us some blue 5x11 panels. Might buy a copy of the set just for those. Edited October 25, 201311 yr by jantjeuh
October 25, 201311 yr I agree, blue is also an option. At the moment the 42008 is really cheap, some sets are sold by 70-80€. And new at Amazon 82,75€ include delivery, a good price. Edited October 25, 201311 yr by Ralf
October 27, 201311 yr Hey guys, I'm having a hard time deciding which Technic set to buy: 8110 Unimog, 42009 Mobile Crane. 9397 Logging truck, or 8109 Flatbed Truck? Could you help me out here? Thanks.
October 27, 201311 yr Most of the time it boils down to when a set will be out of production. The 42009 will still be available for a while, so you might want to choose one of the other sets. The 8109 will disappear very soon. It's already very expensive if I am not mistaken. Although I am not the biggest fan I would still recommend getting the Unimog. It's an iconic set. Or get the 8109 while you still can.
October 27, 201311 yr Hi, if you want to buy only one set i would take the 42009 Mobile Crane there are many parts and the building is great (about 9-12h if you are fast)
October 27, 201311 yr I'm with Jim on this. If you want the Unimog or Flatbed Truck or both, get them while they're still available.
October 28, 201311 yr The Flatbed truck is already very hard to get, i tried to get my hands on it but no luck, for a MISB one you will pay alot (maybe you will still find it in some stores that have it on their inventory, if so, you can consider yourself lucky). Same as Jim, i'm not the biggest fan of 8110, but still it is a great set and maybe a must have, and you can still get it at a very good price. I like the Logging Truck 9397 also, it has a very nice design ! Even compared to 8285, side by side, 9397 still manages to looks good.
October 28, 201311 yr One ask, what is a high price for the flatbed 8109? Here are many of them to buy at a price of 65 up to 90€.
October 28, 201311 yr One ask, what is a high price for the flatbed 8109?Here are many of them to buy at a price of 65 up to 90€. Are those prices for new and sealed sets?
October 28, 201311 yr The new and sealed sets are in a range of 80-90€ include delivery for example this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/LEGO-Technik-Abschlepptruck-mit-Power-Funktion-10-16-Jahre-Nr-8109-NEU-in-OVP-/121198674424?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrdKind_Spielzeug_Lego&hash=item1c380101f8 The sets in new condition used are in a range of 65-80€ like this one: http://www.ebay.de/itm/LEGO-Technic-8109-Tieflader-Truck-Abschleppwagen-Power-Functions-m-OBA-/190918363205?pt=DE_Allesf%C3%BCrdKind_Spielzeug_Lego&hash=item2c739f0845
October 29, 201311 yr Hey all, I am thinking of buing theese 2 models 8052 8053, Should i do this or is it a waste of money? :)
October 29, 201311 yr Jim, please move this to the "What Technic Set Should I Buy" topic. Personally I would buy the 8053 though. :)
October 29, 201311 yr Even though many people dislike the 8053, I personally love it, so I would go for that + a power functions motor kit! :thumbup: As I see it, the only reason to go for the 8052 instead, would be for it's colour!
October 29, 201311 yr 8069 is your best bet on that price range. 8052 has very limited functions, and 8053's outriggers doesn't work... Just my 2 cents though.
October 29, 201311 yr Yeah, but 8069 kind of sucks... It's my only technic set, and if it weren't for the good parts in it (4 mLA's, gears, etc.) I would have completely regretted buying it.
October 29, 201311 yr [...] and 8053's outriggers doesn't work... They absolutely work! Just not very well... but try raising the crane and pulling down on the string on either side with and without the outriggers deployed, and you will definitely see that they work!
October 29, 201311 yr Yeah, but 8069 kind of sucks... It's my only technic set, and if it weren't for the good parts in it (4 mLA's, gears, etc.) I would have completely regretted buying it. On brickset.com 8069 is the highest rated medium sized (<1000) technic set in the last 20 years. I personally loved everything about it - except the fact that my fingers got raw from turning those knobs over and over!
October 30, 201311 yr 8053 is a nice set, but nothing special about it. Although, 8069 is a real beauty, has so many functions, i love it (for its price i love it even more ).
October 30, 201311 yr Even though many people dislike the 8053, I personally love it, so I would go for that + a power functions motor kit! :thumbup: It's a very good set. I thougt it wasn't interesting as well, but after the build I was surprised. I would like to call it a great set. Jim, please move this to the "What Technic Set Should I Buy" topic. Personally I would buy the 8053 though. :) Agree on the 8053 And moved to this topic
October 30, 201311 yr Agree with the above. Though, I think a better use for both 8053 and 8069 is as loose parts for building D3K's swing loader.
