Thanks for the photos bro!
From the looks of it the fit is good but dunno if its the angle or the scale is slightly larger than original minifigs weapons?
well, for the scale, i put the same one that i have at the same minifig for comparison...
the bow, rifle/machine gun seems fine but the brown sword and the brown one at ocean king seems slightly longer

Good Morning AFOLS,
Since I personally do not have many interesting sets to look forward to for the rest of the year. I am thinking of getting my hands dirty on a technics set. So my question to those experienced technics kaki and sifus. What would be a good one and only set to own?
I am looking at playability (the 4x4 crawler maybe).- zip around the house maybe outside (by the way would it be able to do outdoors?)
Have no idea on crane, flatbed and the rest??
I am breaking my own AFOL rule of staying away from technics (only 1 set to satisfy my curiosity)
well, for playability, maybe those come with motorised function is your choice...
9398 really a good choice, it comes with remote control function
(RC can easily to add in if u have the parts and know how to)
for us who already familiar with technic, we aim for bigger, more complex sets but for beginner, maybe u can start from small or medium sets...
bigger sets means cost more, need more time to build, more space to display and more finger pain but comes with bigger satisfaction
if ur flatbed means 8109, this set not bad actually
(this is my first set since my last technic set is year 1999)
the flat part nice for display if space is your issue (u can put other collectibles at flat part)
for the crane, i only own 42009 and it has a lot of parts and need a long time to build...
probably a little bit of difficult for beginner (hard to finish in a day)
but of course, the satisfaction when finish is really good (but the finger pain really bad), the 42009 crane full extend is about 77cm, about waist level...
of course, there are 4x4, construction vehicle, F1, crane, truck, motor if you are looking for specific vehicle
(maybe i missed out some others)
just choose based on your budget and interest will fine... experience will come eventually as you own/build/play with it...
just share my own opinion about Lego Technic, this does not mean to offend anyone and I'm sorry if this have offend anyone

Oops! You are right! My bad, it is pneumatics and not hydraulics. Ashamed to call myself an engineer!
8043 and 42009 are my favourites too. Currently sourcing parts to build the ultimate 42009...

Aiya ... My 42009 box is still in plastic bag ... but maybe I source for parts first, for the ultimate-42009.
My worry is on the number of M-motors ... cause I don't want to dismantle my 8043
is the ultimate 42009 the one that i shared before?
looks like i'm manage to spread the poison here
let me share the link again
ultimate 42009QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Oct 9 2013, 07:03 PM)
Did a quick check at BL for those with >1 units
M-motor = usd8
L-motor = usd15
non-related
servo-motor = usd34
XL-motor = usd16
Not yet count delivery & our friendly local Customs 10% tax, which will be more due to motor-weight.
Doing any parts-CS ?
thanks for the details
looks like a CS is coming soom

Once you go down the Technic path, there is no turning back! First you buy the 42009, then after that 8110, then followed by 8043 motorized excavator, 8275 motorized bulldozer, 8258 crane truck, 8880 supercar, 8448 super street sensation, 8868 air-tech claw rig etc. I know since I started with crane truck and then every year buy the flagship technic set (last year was an exception though, skipped the crawler)
I do not own the crawler, but Technic models are definitely not meant to be played outdoors. There's a video from Technic-bricks where they drove their crawler on the beach but they warn people against doing so. This is because dirt/sand might enter into the gearing and grind the gears out. The gears are all plastic and not meant for heavy usage.
If you really do need to buy a Technic set each year, then better buy the flagship technic set. The smaller ones no shiok lah.
8110 is much more complex and larger than 42008 when it comes to pneumatics. Not only that but 8110 is also much larger and has a much higher piece count. Prior to the Mobile crane Mk2 it was the largest technic set at 2048 pieces. Then it has 4 wheel drive and suspension, motorized winch and turnable, 4 super big wheels and rims, comes with Mercedes logo and in cool orange livery.
For pnuematic functions you control 3 different functions via the 3 switches- the claw, the top part of the arm and bottom part of the arm. Compared to 42008 you only control the wheel holder (if that is what it is called)
The 8110 is the 2nd model to have a compressor after its grandfather 8868 Air-tech claw rig. The 8868 comes from the 90s so you can see that the construction method is different.
Recycling my old photo for this post. I really need retake all of them again and see all of them line up in a row. I wonder how big is the 42009 compared to my other behemoths like the 8110 or 8258.
nice collection
and thanks for the info
that's even some nice old sets
from your info, The 8110 is the 2nd model to have a compressor after its grandfather 8868 Air-tech claw rig, is that means the 42008 don't have compressor? i thought pneumatic require compressor to work

Anyway congrats!!
My wife always worry for me when I go out for COD and say it doesn't make sense to do it for such small gains. But of course when you are passionate with something, the reward is not monetary but meeting others like yourself and sharing with them. And I do enjoy caressing all those fresh brown boxes!
