(...) Of course you do... why wouldn't you? ;) Don't worry Larry, I'm not interested in making this into a federal case. You make good points and I am not going to just pretend that my opinion is the only one. I certainly don't want to offend anyone (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

It's sort of what you'd get if you mixed that reviled lime green LEGO color with the standard LEGO yellow we love so much, and then added a bit of white to lighten things (...)

Before reading any more of my reply, remember, I **agree** with you, I'm not very keen on the model either. Although... Nik likes it better than the backhoe. But then, he's 10. (...) How about this prototype? (URL) (from the site you referenced.... (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) Really? See the link near the bottom of this post. I think a lot of them are still traditional red, or often bright yellow. Just my opinion, I really can't back this up with any data. (...)

(...) Wow! 9 cylinders, that's unprecedented, It's also the same number as on my AK912 crane. The thought of adding pnumatics to the shovel on the original JCB had crossed my mind before. Jonathan Wilson's right, the lack of beams is appalling. The (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) I like the backhoe model as well, although I wonder if there are going to be any blue airtanks included... hopefully, since this looks like a large model using the 8466's large tires.

(...) Releasing sets like that is NOT the way to get me to reach for my wallet. The 3 small mini sets look acceptable though.

(...) This is what I think of when I think of LEGO Technic models. This has a very realistic look to it. Very well done!
