At the risk of belaboring a point, renumbering a set is something collectors want, not necessarily something LEGO would want or need. In fact, adding a new number for the identical set would probably be counterproductive in the long run for the company.

Well I guess they have an example they can use as a test case now:

    8460 Pneumatic Crane Truck / Mobile Crane
841 elements, 0 figures, US$99, 1995
LEGO > TECHNIC > Tech Build / Advanced

    8431 Crane Truck
841 elements, 0 figures, US$85, 2002
LEGO > TECHNIC > Tech Build / Advanced

    8438 Pneumatic Crane Truck
839 elements, 0 figures, US$85, 2003
LEGO > TECHNIC > Tech Build / Advanced

As far as I know, there is no difference between these sets except the number. I don’t own 8438 so can’t say definitively.

They do look identical. Wonder why they have three numbers? Might be a good question for Jake at some point. Thanks for correcting that, Ross.

I’ll stick by my other assertions about the set, though!
