I'll buy the Volvo, especially if there's another excellent group buy but mainly as I'm a sad adult who takes comfort in buying the stuff he could never have as a kid 
But I too would look forward to some Lego kits that build & function like a real life vehicle. The crane & unimog are fantastic models but I can't help feeling like you're building a huge clockwork gearbox disguised as a vehicle.

Used Brickstore with the parts list on sheepos page, Brickstore uses guide prices and the total is $740, no idea how accurate that is!
It seems fairly accurate as Sheepo himself said that it'd be around that price. Still seems worth it but getting hold of all the parts is another story entirely. The same goes for those F1 cars, it's rare that one supplier with have all you need and even then they won't have a huge quantity of individual bricks. Of course if you then factor in all those with similar ideas to build them, the availability of certain bricks goes down and up go the prices

I've noticed that Lego instructions now tell you to build on a table. I used to build on the floor; still do in fact, but I think the instruction is aimed at people our age because my knees locked solid building the Unimog last year 
It's also more difficult for us to see the small parts when they are loose on the carpet...I look forward to the instructions containing a reminder to put on your bifocals soon
The reason I've never done my building on a table is that the small round pieces (hundreds of them with Technic) roll off the edge and you can never find them. Or you do yourself a mischief leaning down to pick them up

I build in a tray with raised sides. Makes loss of small parts that much harder.The reason I've never done my building on a table is that the small round pieces (hundreds of them with Technic) roll off the edge and you can never find them. Or you do yourself a mischief leaning down to pick them up
