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?

As soon as I saw it on BrickSet, I went to the Lego site and saw that I had to
change my country to an european one to see it.
Great idea to keep that GREAT set in production once more. But I find it silly
to re-number it again , it gets confusing. They should have kept the number 8431
and just label it Legend like it deserves.
And as I said, it’s not available in the USA and Canada. Not that I care, my own
8431 is plenty enough for me.
DId I mention that this set was the very first Lego I got my hands on after a 15
year long Dark Age. It was fun, but weird at the same time, building that
monster of a set, using many parts I had not seen before. I remember taking a
dinner break after building the truck, then continued with the crane right
after.
Most embarrassing moment: this set made me realized I forgot how to make
“sliding node” with a string (sorry, I have no idea how to say it in english, in
french it’s “Noeud Coulant”.
