I just saw this at Brickset:
http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=8438-1
Seems familiar? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s 8460 Pneumatic Crane Truck! A
SECOND REISSUE!!!
This is unbelievable! I have never seen a set being re-released twice! And let
me tell you, if a set is worth re-releasing twice, Lego should have made this a
LEGEND and make this a long standing reissue instead of only for a short few
months like the 8431 was.
Yeah, and repeat after me: 8460 is a legend, right up there with 8480. Follow me
and ye shall find peace. :-)
Sure I’m glad I picked one up while I can, together with the 5218 pneumatic
pack! And with a 8455 on order, feel free to call me a pneumatic junkie!
Enjoy this scoop.

PS: Will we see it in a 2003-style box?

But I find it silly to re-number it again , it gets (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
