Hi everyone. I just went to LLM recently and fall in love again with Lego. I am planning to buy 1 Lego Technic as my 1st start. I am looking at the 9398 Crawler and The 42009 Crane. Can you guys suggest me which one is the worth buy?

Hi and welcome back to Lego!

If you plan to get only one then my recommendation is to go for the 42009 Mobile Crane MKII!

But then again usually you never stop at just one so assuming you are in love with big Technics then the current contenders are:

1. 8110 Mercedes Benz Unimog U400
2. 9398 4x4 Crawler
3. 42009 Mobile Crane MKII

I would suggest getting them in that order as 8110 and 9398 are the older sets and may be discontinued soon. Prices for these two sets has come down so it is more value for money. Having said that, 42009 is also pretty good value for something that size and if you can still find the re-sellers selling it below RM800 it is a good buy too.

Hey guys,

Haven't been active in the forums for years now.

Been only shopping stuff on the garage sales occasionally.

I just got hooked to lego recently and i ended up selling some sets with my friend.

yeap.. a cool little mech.. for the small number of parts used the end product is really flexible

really nice price you got there for all the sets bro... really tempted but have been overspending for months... must resist...

Went to TCM, got my hands itchy and decided to spend on this mini haul @ TRU.



Probably moc it with evil skull face and white hands then name it Judge Dead or something..

aiks.... since u hooked on LEGO, shouldnt u be buying like mad rather than the other way round?

btw welcome and hope this poison lingers longer than your future grandchildren

Thanks for the feedback, I might take the Unimog into consideration. My interest is not only for Technics, so I may end up buy 1 only.

I am planning to get a big Lego set also, my first buy will be the Vampyre Castle from Monster Fighter line. Then I will go for the King's Siege Castle set next year and Imperial Fleet Ship on another year.

i know lego is tempting

thats why i'm jus going to stick to the clone wars set.

love them clone troopers....currently trying to get a reasonable phase 1 captain rex from 7869

going to be expensive trying to collect the clone commanders...
