I'm definitly going to order one of these--looks like it could be one of the
finest technic sets since the space shuttle.

Wow, where/when can I get one of these sets?  It's as if all the other ideas I
had for my 8862 set but never got round to implementing have been brought to
light.  I especially like the pneumatic rotation of the backhoe - mine used a
horribly convoluted gear train to moderate effect.

The only thing I dislike on the new model is the almost universal adoption of
the smooth beams.  How are we supposed to add the mudguards, lights, little
levers and pretend dashboard tiles?!
