 | | Motorized Excavator - expensive!!!
|
|
I wonder why the US price for the Motorized Excavator is so high. See the comparison to last year's flagship product: 8043 - Motorized Excavator USA Price $200 Europe Price 160euros 8258 - Crane Truck USA Price $150 Europe Price 160euros I used the (...) (14 years ago, 11-Aug-10, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I did a little research. You can create bones and poses in Daz3D Studio and Poser. Poser 8 costs $250, but you can buy Poser 7 for $50. Daz3D Studio is free, but you have to buy a $30 plugin to create your own bones and poses from scratch. (...) (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)
