Any idea on # of pieces?


According to
http://www.lego.com/catalog/amr/product.asp?number=8448
it has 1408 parts. So, it again has the largest piece count of any Technic • set
ever (and the largest current piece count overall if the MT semi-tractor • is
indeed discontinued).

At $139 it also keeps the price (just) under 10 cents per piece ($US), which
I think is pretty reasonable (at least compared to other current sets).

I just noticed on
http://www.lego.com/catalog/amr/product.asp?number=8445
that those 8440-style wheels now get the flat-alloy coating, too.

Wow, didn't notice that there was a new 8445 set.  8446 looks new (to me) as
well.
