Hi all, this is my first post here. :)
I finally got the 4403 helicopter and 4404 pickup this week! Even though I
have not opened it yet they look very sweet. I also bought the 8465 Extreme
off roader while I'm there to get the 1x2 gear rack to add steering to 4404.
I bought those from My Gifted Child inside the mall at Steeles/404. It
offers almost all current 2003 sets at a discount from MSRP - 4403 at $65
and 4404 at $70. The manager there is very friendly (and speaks Cantonese...
very nice). I also have a 8455 on back order for more than two months, which
brings me to its downside - you have to wait a loooong time if you are
ordering sets instead of picking off the shelf there. Now that 8465 I got is
$55 and it's the last one there - so you all can forget about it! :-)
I will be using 4403 to spice up my 8856 (bought it 11 years ago in HK).
While I'm at it, take a look at my Brickshelf corner:

There you'll see my take on adding radio control to 8466, as inspired by the
Dave K we all know very well, and a Butters model that I announced a while
ago on lugnet without drawing much attention.
Now, guess how much I will be getting my backhoe for?

$130!
With it priced at $135 at Bricks & Blocks and $150 @ TRU it is worth the
wait, but I still have to say it...
I WANT MY BACKHOE!!!
That's all, and welcome me. :-)
Cheers
Keith
