| | | | | (...) Were it not for the color change, I would seriously consider getting this. Especially if it became available in australia and it wasnt expensive. But with the change to the new grey and dark grey, I have no interest in this. (20 years ago, 10-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | (...) I think the functionality on this is great, but the actual look of the thing is not so good. The whole thing looks a bit rushed. The actual crane version (as opposed to the claw version) IMHO looks the worst. I think the crane on the picture (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | | (...) NOW, I NEED to know something. In the S@H catalog picture, I see that on the tires, it's written 62.4 x 20 (tire dimension). Of course, i fear that they aren't the same type as the old (Giant truck MT 5571) type which says on the tires 68.8 x (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | | (...) I think this set is rather expensive. I saw it some months ago on the net. Now I've seen this large picture I can have a good look. What you see first is: studless! Where are the conventional Technic bricks? Those studless beams could be (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) It's $89.99 for 1037 pieces, a considerably better deal than you'll get with the Castle of Morcia (627pc) or the new Hogwarts (927pc), which are priced the same. Or the new Millennium Falcon (985pc), which costs $10 more. (20 years ago, 13-Jul-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I didn't notice that at Toy Fair, but I just checked my pic and the box behind the model matches the PB photo, while the physical model looks like the pic you (...)
