Love that tractor... Still got my mog and excavator sat in their boxes unstarted

Cheers for that, the big rigs my next job.

i love that big rig. i think when i get time i'd like to build some sort of trailer for it to pull. i really fancy the idea of converting it into a australian road train type hardcore rig with roo bars and stuff

Heads up:

Argos have a 3-for-2 offer on toys (including Lego) at the moment, offer ends on the 21st. Just in case anyone was considering an expensive toy or three

thanks a bunch - that just cost me a lot of money! (and saved me a lot as well though!)

update - I posted this as the purchase went through - it didn't - the website crashed?!?

seems like too many people were after the 3 for 2 offer?

I had that when I was a kid, it was a much fun as it looks it made a jeep too.

Most recent of mine is the LEGO Technic 8081 Extreme Cruiser, easily modified to be RC using the power functions motors, I even added the fog lights for extra tw@t points

Thanks for the info.

I've been on the lookout for the 8043 excavator second hand off EBay. Based on this offer, I just ordered THREE 8043 excavators from Argos. I'm having one, a pal of mine is having the other, and the remaining "free" one is going on EBay unless anyone here is interested. I figure with a bit of luck I'll effectively get a brand new 8043 for the price of a used one off EBay plus it's guaranteed to be the latest version with the upgraded linear actuators.



ETA: It's about time I got some up to date Lego - this is my collection:

I picked up 2 unimogs and the super car today on the 3 for 2 offer. I'm not sure what I will do with the unimog's yet. I might stash them in the loft and use them to buy new sets in a few years, one may end up getting built at christmas.

Good effort - I'm pretty sure - long term - there's money to be made out of the more expensive sets with this offer, but I don't have the disposable cash to ever find out.

Brought 2 Unimogs, 1 to build, 1 to keep and treated myself to a free Millenium Falcon, got to love Star Wars and Lego together!

Well there's the big question. How much have you got?

i love the old pneumatic tracked crane. i wanted one of those for such a long time i had to just snap it up when i saw it for sale second hand it brings back memories of being a kid again

I got one of those for chrimbo when they were first issued; best chrismas evarr! They may as well have not bought me any other presents that year, the lego digger and a few bags of dried peas to shovel into the back of a Tonka dumper truck and I was in heavy plant heaven.

Wife bought me the Unimog today after a trip to Legoland with the kids, going to build it whilst im on call next week. Hopefully get it doing something cool with the Mindstorms or an Arduino.

I was wondering about that myself - but so far only got as far as getting the NXT stuff out of the box and testing it still works!

Oh my. The car top left was subject of much childhood lust for me. Alas, it never happened. I do have about a dozen technic sets from the lats 80's and early 90's though.
