Hello Lego Technic fans. Since the 1997 front end loader (8459), lego • hasn't
offered a large construction technic set. I think it would be a good idea • to
make a motor grader:

1) Pneumatic blade control
2) 4 or all wheels drive
3) powerfull engine
4) Pivotting front wheel (like the real model) and direction.
5) Back blade if possible
6) Many more possible

This one could be set 8455!

Look at that!!!

That would be very nice; I think the only major type of construction
machinery that hasn't come out as a Lego Technic set is the grader. • Although
I wouldn't mind seeing another crane/claw type vehicle either. These type • of
models are some of my favorites...

Here! Here!  I certainly would love to see a revival of something like the
8862 Backhoe.  I would like to add one more thing, how about a compressor
system like the 8868 Air Tech Claw?  When I first saw those large tires on
the 8457 Power Puller, a new backhoe was one of the first sets to come to
mind for this year.  (Sigh) Maybe 2002??

(...) Dont forget that we didnt know about the power puller and such untill later in the year so it might be the same for 2001. (23 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)
