- 8438 comes in 2003-style yellow boxes, same size as 8431?
- It’ll eventually come to US/Canada at US$85 or less?
- Piece count “finally officially reduced” because of the part substitutions made on 8431?
- One of the pneumatic cylinders will be replaced by the new type?
- Lego in their infinite wisdom thinks a Technic set should not become a legend?
- Someone will see both 8431 and 8438 on the same store shelves, right besides each other?

My speculation #3 has come true!! Straight from S@H when told to ship to Canada:
Item#: 8438
Ages: 11+
Pieces: 839
Price: USD 84.99
Preorder this item today, will ship by 24 Oct 2003
Hooray! Even though I already have a 8431.
The Backhoe is on backorder again. Now with a free shipping offer and 8457 on
clearance at half off I am thinking really hard about getting one for parts then
grab the backhoe while there with the Loonie strong at 74 cents.
Cheers, Keith
