Technic just got damned serious and expensive. 450 euros for this bad boy

 

 

FOUR new Summer Technic Sets, available from 1st August

LEGO Technic car transporter 42096, 2x1 model, a vehicle, the same size as the Corvette, which can be taken on the transporter!

LEGO Technic Spider Crane 42097, manual, no power functions, 2in1 model, RRP 89,99 Euro

LEGO Technic 4x4 Extreme SUV 42099, with CONTROL + function (brand new), three engines, independent, RRP € 229.99

LEGO Technic Liebherr 9800 42100, seven (!) Motors that are individually controllable, two smart hubs, that is CONTROL + function, 449.99 Euro RRP

Sounds like a vintage year comparable to when they released Porsche, Claas, BWE and Volvo in the same summer!

That's a LEGO set?  

Badass isn´t it?

Let's pray that it's as exclusive as 41999 was. It does look cool and I'd love to have one. The question is.... Will as many get on the gravy train as they did for 42056? What makes me nervous about reselling expensive sets is the increase in scams, anal box lickers and fraudulent SNAD cases that can't be proven buy the seller.

The only thing this is missing is a "Bag 3".

This is Bad. Ass.

I am very interested in the car transporter. If it can hold the secondary Hot Rod model from the Corvette (ugly) I am totally game.

That is awesome. I'll get a few of those.

This could hang around as long as the BWE and Porsche. I pay 50% or go home.

2.5 years as usual for flagships.

Yes, it seems like it. However, I think that #2 sets do better as the Claax Xerion is now doing quite well and was often 60% off too! Another is the 42068 ARV which was also heavily discounted and it now above RRP. Will the BWE and orange Porsche reach RRP? hmmm.....

Price point is key.

7 motors !

which set has had the most so far ?

I think 4 is the record shared between a couple of sets with tracks and out favourite LE crawler.

I corrected it for you.

I guess I would be able to get it 30-40% off so I now know what I am going to build on Christmas Eve :)

Check this out, it is HUGE

How big of a tree stump do you think this thing can pull out?  Asking for a friend.

Maybe I'm new to all this...but Technic seems to be more about proving'''Yeah we could do it"

than developing a set for a mass market

They are always going to have a few sets that are intended for making headlines rather than sales. 

This is available for $359 after coupon LEGO9800 on https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-technic-liebherr-r-9800-42100/12041888.html

Anyone thinking of getting it at that price

I'm dying to build this. Going to hold out for a better deal though. Got a couple years to go.

In Netherlands, every Technic set is at some stage available at 40% discount - no exceptions. Half of the Technic sets will even go up to 50-55% discount.

So far, we have only hit 33% discount (300 euro), so have to wait a bit longer until it hits 250-270 euro.

They had them 35% off at Costco.  I caved and bought two.  There could be a better discount in the future, but maybe not.  I waited for a 50% discount on 42070 and never saw it in Canada.

Buy this set at least 45% off. 

DO NOT pay more. Who even knows when it'll be gone... Dec 2021 probably, plenty of time.
