3. Re: Fun older sets without heavy price escalation?

   

   Comment by coachie · October 2012 · Home› Collecting

   Technic #8455 ? That should tick the fun build/play box. Also quite a few older not quite top of the range Technic sets eg. #8462 and the re-release #8431 of the popular 8460 from 1995. I _cough_ have a few 8455 in my BL store that I have at a very good price. They seem to be expensive in the States, but cheaper in Europe.…

   Hoping to get any thoughts on how easily people feel I could sell the following two sets.

   Flagships do well, #8043 for example, but #8069 and #8070 have both done badly, still selling below RRP. #8109 is doing better at 1.5xRRP. Technic is very hit and miss, just like other themes, and the only way to make a good ROI is to buy cheap. Sports bikes like #8420 do well. #8051 was regularly available for £12 at…

   Comment by Switchfoot55 · March 2018 · Home› Building and Techniques

   I just recently built my first Technic set #8455 Back-hoe Loader. It was a fantastic experience that taught me a lot about techniques. The biggest thing I learned, to add onto the point made by others, is take your time to follow the instructions. Being someone who is really into Lego for the build experience, I didn't…

The best way (I have found in my experience) is to regularly use compressed air. Either those cans marketed for cleaning computer periferals & electronic components which are available in many retailers (at least here in the States ) or a small 1 gallon compressor with a blower attachment (much more cost efficient and…

Yeah, pretty much! There were a few re-released things that raised the average in 2002 and 2003: 2000: 8457-1 - 1.16 (Power Puller) 8279-1 - 0.88 (4WD X-Track) 8450-1 - 0.85 (The Mission) 8458-1 - 0.69 (Silver Champion) 1292-1 - 0.26 (Frost Flyer) 8005-1 - 0.25 (Ice Explorer) 8001-1 - 0.15 (Battle Droid) 8514-1 - 0.12…
