Hey Stephen,

I think you are the first to obtain this set (or at least post about it).

Congratulations!

Anyway, can you answer the question that most of us are waiting to have
answered?

Namely, does the 8466 have true 4-wheel drive, independent suspension, and
front-wheel steering?  I'm pretty sure from the pictures that we can confirm
the steering and suspension on the front wheels, but is there a drivetrain
and differential linking the engine, front wheels and rear wheels?

Inquiring minds are waiting to place their S@H order...

Regards,

Andy

Hi,

I managed to get hold of the 8466 Off Roader today for a bargain price of
£66 (they only had one before you ask). I got it from a great little toyshop
called Duck's Toy Shop in Marlborough (I have had loads of great priced
stuff from them in the past including a Control Centre II long after they
stopped making them).

A quick look in the box reveals a very thick manual and back to the system
of building in sections with all the parts for each section in a separate
bag. Massive rubber tyres as well. I think this could turn out all right...

Anyway, it's good to see an independent shop still selling LEGO at very
reasonable prices.

Stephen
