(...) No, buy it for the tires! ;-) (...) FLIMSY?! I have faith in this one: (URL) pounded it up and down with my fist and the suspension held up fine.

(...) It doesn't even come close! Dennis' crane had a maximum height of 4.2 meters and I estimate this new crane to have a maximum height of around 2.7 meters. And there are other Lego cranes that exceed 2.7 m ;-) TJ (23 years ago, 17-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.technic)
