Slomax, neither could I when it came to the unimog...
Loved the look of it, read the reviews, wanted it, but couldn't actually take my card out of my wallet and get it ordered.
Missus did on my behalf a couple of Christmas's ago, and I'll never doubt the value of the big b
d technic kits again. So much more built into them, they're probably the best value kits available.
In summary, get the Arocs bought!

Oh jeez... I really cant... I have been offered 42006 (BNIB unwanted present) for £70. Don't know if that's a good price or not given it doesn't have the power functions. Looks like a decent kit though....Loved the look of it, read the reviews, wanted it, but couldn't actually take my card out of my wallet and get it ordered.

I've got 42006, it's a nice kit, and wasn't a bad build. I'm sure it's not powered though. I think you have to add the power functions separately.
I'm sure I didn't pay £70 for it though.
No, its not powered (without the additional kit). Its rrp was £50, but was retired in November 14. Might offer £60 for it and see where I get...I'm sure I didn't pay £70 for it though.
Got it, fantastic kit. Great build! Put in the power kit too and it really makes it an excellent model. Challenging build too, my first 'big' technic kit. I did take a few build pics if anyone's interested. I love the grabber arm, they could have done it cheaper and simpler with a bucket instead, but its a nice feature.
I built my first Technik build yesterday the 24 hour racer. Have to say I was very surprised with the amount of parts and how much detail is in the designs. I spent about 6 hours on it yesterday and another hour tonight but its done. I ended up with Lego back yesterday my god it was painful. I also completly under estimated the size of it, what a beast.
Well and truly caught the bug now, not just Technik but Normal Lego too. Im looking at the Merc truck next or the F40.

ou'll probably want both.
Yep.Right now I have:-
Wall E
Unimog
Arcos
Volvo Front Loader
LM Car
F1 Car
Mobile Crane (MkII)
4x4 Crawler
I am hoping that they don't release anything else i like for a good few years as it is becoming more expensive than my Scalextric and rc car habit.
The flip side is that i would expect that all of the above (Wall E as a possible exception) should be capable of relising at least 50% of their purchase price if i was to sell them on in the future, even though they have been built up (well not that Arcos yet, i am saving that incase we don't go abroad for NYE...

Ordered the Le Mans car, been a while since I've played with Lego, is there a way to know which bag to start with or is it like the old days where you just have a massive pile of parts?
The Le mans car didnt have numbered bags, the parts where spread across all bags. I was surprised as when I built my lads stuff it was all numbered. Mikeyjae said:
