spoiler-ception...lol
u all already got your stage coach...i'm still thinking to get or not...
learn from other forumers here about the spoiler-ception... it reminds me of programming (oops... sorry for off topic u all already got your stage coach...i'm still thinking to get or not...
)i already got my stage coach few months ago...
for me, this is quite a nice set... 5 minifig, 3 horses, nice mechanism for the wheels of the stage coach... and silver bar inside too
maybe this review can help u make the decision

It's easy to know. Fully extend it. Touch your finger onto the side of each LA, both should have the same firmness. If one is firm, another wobble slightly, it's not balance.
Fully minimize it (no vertical force impact for 42009, but there is for 8043), do the same, see if both firm, or only one is firm.
What it means while extending fully in operation, it is using only 1x LA power, the other is no-load. i.e. might as well take out the other LA to mod other stuff.
Refer some dismantle pics here
Using single LA, with repeated up/down, may strain it and the metal cylinder 'screw' will start to "cut" into the plastic housing it, even with lubricants.
So far I have not hit into this ... yet. I test my 8043 with bucket lifting load of up to 250gm (yeah, I weight the load dumped by the bucket with a scale) and it sounds a bit strain to lift up the boom. Digging at higher load "in the ground", I estimate at 400-500gm, it starts to grind.
Not yet build 42009, but I expect the double LA issue, and I will build the gears parallel instead of opposite.
Also, by keeping the crane boom in down position, I guess no damage will occur, as it will rest on top of the front driver's cab.

will try this at this weekends... maybe i just straight away modify it
it just simply change either gear to another side... "how hard can it be"...QUOTE(hades4eve @ Aug 12 2013, 04:17 PM)
What is past, already passed... look into the future
I was wondering will they came out with a architecture of pyramid + sphinx

Pyramid, too simple lah
Unless they make it 5 layer with maze inside
probably with the base like Taj Mahal, the piece count could be 25k
the pyramid and sphinx quite interest to me as well Unless they make it 5 layer with maze inside

42009 really a challenge...wish me good luck guys
still remember last time i used almost 4hours to finish 8069
for me, there are surprisingly a lot of gears inside...
and i try to spin those gears everytime when adding new gears to it... just to make sure everything run smooth...
