Lego Technic - 41999
Discussion
I'm sure it's only available from the LEGO shop and it's limited to 20'000 units so a group buy or bulk order will nigh on be impossible.
I'm not that interested to be honest anyway, it's not different enough to the original Crawler to warrant buying again. Plus, since LEGO posted all the competition designs online it's easy to see what can be done with the chassis.
The extra PF features are cool and it does look awesome, but it's easily built with parts we already have or can get from Bricklink etc. I think they should have released the body on it's own as its own set to be compatible with the Crawler chassis as 70% of the set is exactly the same.

I have spoken at length with my account manager about this and info for the UK market is very limited. Infact she wasnt aware of the product until I brought it up.
We therefore come to the conclusion (and considering the tiny production limit of 20k) that this product will more than likely be a LEGO exclusive.
However I wouldn't be surprised if somebody like Amazon didn't throw their weight round to get at least a few hundred as an exclusive for themselves.
Either way it looks very unlikely that we will be able to do anything via PH. I will however send off another email now to see If I can find out anymore.

Edit to add - I am told there are currently no plans to bring this item to the UK Market.

Having just received my group buy Crane and Recovery Truck and a Logging Truck unopened for the last 2 months I thought I will just have a quick brouse around the Lego shop yesterday.......... Then I saw 4 Ltd Edt Crawlers on the shelf and before the wife could give me that stare I was walking out of the shop with a huge yellow bag with two of them along with a Back to the Future De Lorean................and for that I had to endure a hour of Handbag shopping ............
