(Thanks to Christopher Dean for the heads-up)

I own this one--it's quite cool. A few items of note--
1120 parts
Lots of 6 x 8 plates (a first for MB, I believe)
Quite a few 1 x 2 tiles (in silver-grey and clear) (also a first)
6x 2 x 2 brick corner round (sort of) (also a first)
4x 3 x 1 slope brick 45 double inverted (2341.dat) (also a first)
2x 4 x 7 x 4 cabinets with up-swinging door
4x 6 x 4 x 4 cabinets with up-swinging door
6x new wheel hubs & tires
3x fire extinguisher nozzles (fit on 1 x 1 brick round)
2x left- and right- doors 1 x 3 x 4
A rather large ladder assembly and turntable
A bunch of chrome elements, including:
2x jaws-of-life (minifig scale)
2x fire axes (minifig scale)
2x hose nozzles (minifig scale) (fits with rubber tubing)
2 x 2 x 2 bell for the front bumper
2 x 2 x 2 siren for the front bumper
plus an okay light-and-sound brick with 4 sounds. Pretty good reproduction
of fire engine sounds, actually, but I don't really care about that kind of
bells-and-whistles.
What's really cool is that the chrome accessories are minifig scale, even
tough the whole model (16-wide!) isn't.

No guarantee on a parts count, but judging by the relative weight, it's got
to be around 2000.
I know that the Technic shuttle is one of The Holy Grails of LEGO-dom, but
this MB model looks like a better true-to-life representation. For my part,
I've never cared for the skeletal Technic style; a solid model is much more
interesting to me (though YMMV).
Lastly, this appears to be a new items, but no picture:

| Jeeezzzzz..... (I know this has been voiced many, many times but...) If only Lego would produce sets with this piece count/price/size/playability value, they would sell a gazillion of them. Ron (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Piece count is 805, but unfortunately the brown camo is applied by one of those camo-stick paint pens from the Warriors: Future Force series. I'm (...)
