Thank you so much for more than 5.6k subscribers! This video is meant to be like my 5.6k subscribers special :)

[@xpviking5067]

I GOT THE VOLVO 6X6 ARTICULATED HAULER SET TODAY!!

[@anhex.5747]

Now it’s 5.72k. An increase of 120 in 16 hours. Wow.

[@Federale570]

Nearly +10k subs in half a year. Good stuff dude

[@gosmbricks9833]

This is such a modern old set, with complex mechanisms and yet it has that "retro" look for technic.

[@Unbrickme]

GOSMBRICKS yeah this set is awesome!!!

[@SaturnineXTS]

What I really like about this set is that it was made firmly into the studless era, but still uses many studded elements regardless. I really appreciate studless/studded hybrid constructions like this a whole deal.

[@nathansherwin8609]

Honestly, 9v and PF will always top PU because of the customizability and Compatability. They NEED to bring these back! P.S. Keep up the great work (as always!)

[@nathansherwin8609]

at least for me

[@Unbrickme]

thank you very much! Yeah the 9V and PF had awesome playability, customization, and they were easier to use

[@suspense_comix3237]

I like how this set is minifigure scale. Well, close to minifigure scale.

[@bigginsd1]

I just discovered your channel and I’m loving it. I like that you are happy to form your own opinion and go against consensus when it comes to reviews. The detail in your reviews is amazing.

[@czkosticka2333]

Every time I see it, I want it more

[@mkprofessionalism]

I want to get this legend in the near future because this set released in a same year as I born. One of the greatest Lego Technic models of all time and designed by my favorite designer who is Markus Kosmann. Thanks for the review!!! 😊

[@davidrodwell6444]

Excited about over 5k subscribers ? ... now your over 20k ! ... well done dude ... and thanks for bringing us honest and down to earth reviews.

[@SquirrelLover...]

Congats on 5.6k subs!

[@Unbrickme]

Thank you very much

[@apprenricebrickoflegend]

This looks awesome! Looks just like a Technic set that would be released now. The functions are pretty cool as well!

[@Unbrickme]

I think so too! Its just an epic set

[@ghaspar]

I prefer studded design over the modern sleek looks. Playability > design

[@totallyaddicted2bricks989]

This looks like an awesome set! I have the later 42009 MKII Mobile Crane but there is still something about this older set. I would still buy this older set if it was released today, and I know I would enjoy it. Great video of a truly great set 👍

[@Unbrickme]

This set is epic!

[@MikeRayer01]

My parents gave me this set for my 8th birthday, back in 2007. This set started my love for LEGO technic.

[@TheKurtTribute]

Was always a dream set for me. Now I finally own it as well as the legendary 8455 backhoe. Now to find a reasonably priced 8285 tow truck.

[@stopmotionstuds8531]

I like this set better than all the current sets because it’s functionality.

[@Unbrickme]

yeah this set is pretty epic! I really like the pneumatics used for the crane

[@vyvrialtorque3655]

I got this set for christmas when i was nine XD I also have the 42009 mkII crane frome 2013, and as an owner of both, I can say I love them both :) The amount of pieces they have is also really handy for making moc's.

[@parazels83]

RIP, metal hook!

[@deyonbisram4406]

This is a great set really shows what technic is all about

[@Unbrickme]

Exactly!

[@TechnicBrickPower]

Amazing set & great review! I have been hoping to get a hold of this set for some time now with no luck. I am keen to get that buggy motor and see what it can do!. But maybe buwizz is the way to go based on the other comments. What do you think? 🙃

[@Unbrickme]

thanks, yeah buwizz will be much cheaper than the actual 9v buggy motor so I think you should try the buwizz buggy motor

[@awes0men0b0dy9]

We need buggy motors I thought my small rc PF tracked thingy using 2 M motors was fast

[@sergengoektas4188]

Those yellow pieces were actually common among some mid 2000’s lego racers.

[@thebrickybrick402]

I didn't know that you have reviewed dinosaurs 🦕

[@bami2]

I like how the battery box is used as counterweight for the crane.

[@Tapitus-totalus]

It´s common technique with all motorised cranes ... but OK

[@bami2]

@@Tapitus-totalus This set is from 2005, no technic crane did this before that...

[@Tapitus-totalus]

@@bami2 well, that can be true, but was there any motorised crane before?

[@Dadudi]

Next time you should review 42009 I really like these reviews of vintage sets, keep it up!👍😉

[@Unbrickme]

Maybe a comparison between the two

[@Unbrickme]

Dadudi's Lego Technic Creations thank you very much

[@gnome_truther4518]

Those yellow peices that you were unsure of the origin of are originally from Jack Stone sets

wow that is awesome!! So cool!!

Was this brand new before or used?

[@Brett_M]

That crane is awesome I wish LEGO would bring back the buggy motor and the technic sets with the technic bricks

[@Unbrickme]

yeah we need the buggy motor back!

[@carguygt3368]

Hello. Love the video

[@Unbrickme]

Thank you very much

[@TheMetalButcher]

I got this, I guess when I was about 8. My brother and dad built it. It didn't last long before it was pieces in a box. 24 year old me is kicking 8 year old me, but oh well. Kids are kids.

[@yakacm]

You can get those buggy motors from China now, if you are in to that kind of thing and it's really cheap too, someone did a review of the Chinese version compared to the original, when I say Chinese the original was probably made in China too but you know what I mean.

[@BrickTemplar]

I've recently bought this model second-hand. My mother refused to buy me a 8460 crane when I was a kid. Thus, I've been choosing between the two models, eventually opting out for 8421. I'd say the model is awesome! So much better than the modern Technic, those cranes and loaders were what made it special for me. Thank you so much for helping to figure out the functions, it was unclear without the stickers what the gearbox levers are for. :) I had also acquired a 42108 approximately a week before bumping into a 8421. It looks more basic but whatever. I haven't assembled it yet for being taken by my childhood dream coming true. What front loader from mid-90s-2000s would you recommend for buying? It is another yet unfulfilled dream from my childhood.

[@catzzzz1450]

8459 Wheel Loader released in 1997, (however it was released again in 2001 and 2004) it does have V6 engine,all whell drive and even pneumatic tank,its look perfect according to your question

[@rominanencini240]

But how much the arm Is long when it's fully extended?

[@Unbrickme]

not sure

[@calvin_4782]

Correct me if I’m wrong but was this the end of the 9 volt series

[@Unbrickme]

Yeah the set was released basically at the end of the 9v era, since 2 years later we got the power functions system

[@brickmadness5402]

I think they should bring back the buggy motor but in control+ so u can control it from a phone.

[@Unbrickme]

They should definitely do that!

[@pearlshark1]

Hi Unbrickme, I need your recommendation. I am on the market to purchase a Technic crane to complete my collection of “masterpiece” sets. Is this one the one to get? I want something motorized that you deem to be worthy. Thank you for any advice!

[@Unbrickme]

This set, the air tech claw rig, the 2009 crane truck, 8043, and more are all sets I would consider masterpieces

[@pearlshark1]

@@Unbrickme thank you, sir! I will view every video you have published about this topic.

@@Unbrickme do you know if any of these sets were designed by Markus Kossmann? What do you think of the newer technic crane models?

[@Unbrickme]

[@maxxvw2969]

can you do 8053 next?

[@Unbrickme]

Perhaps, but it’s not really an old legendary set

[@maxxvw2969]

@@Unbrickme yeah, understandable

[@KS-pb9eg]

I like this set and I enjoyed the review but please do a bit more research and use appropriate terminology like outriggers, ballast, boom or block... Like the crane should be standing on the extended outriggers before you attempt any lifting. A lot more could have been tested and demonstrated here. Sorry if I'm nitpicking as I do appreciate the video and you got a like from me.

[@Unbrickme]

Thank you very much! Please don’t apologize, I actually appreciate comments like yours far more than my usual ones. Usually my comments are 100% positive, and, while I appreciate that, I really can’t learn anything. Your comment gave me insight into what I should focus on and how I should improve my videos! Thank you very much for the insightful comment :)
