| | | | (...) I do believe that the 8258 crane truck will have it's b-model instructions soley on the internet (not included in the set). Legos reasoning is that it helps save the environment by uing less paper (which if i'm totally honest is a load of BS (...) (15 years ago, 10-Jul-09, to lugnet.technic)
