    My list at the moment is

    8043 Motorized Excavator
    ....
    42009 Mobile Crane MK II

    And much jealousy was had :p

    My own list
    9392 Quad bike
    9393 Tractor
    9394 Jet Plane
    9395 Tow Truck Pickup
    9396 Rescue Helicopter
    42001 Mini Off Road
    42002 Hovercraft
    42004 Mini Backhoe
    42005 Monster Truck
    42006 Excavator
    42007 Scrambler Bike
    42010 Pull back off road
    42011 Pull back racer
    and two power function sets too
    think that is it plus a few old ones from when I was kid up in the attic, nothing too special though.

    I was very tempted by 42009 Crane was going for 150 in smyths, problem is I bough most of the above second hand as a job lot for 100 quid so I feel bit robbed paying anything close to actual price.

    This is as much of the current list as I have been able to remember. My folks have a load of the older stuff stashed away in the attic back home. Brickset is great for tracking your collection and giving you useless stats!

    Have 42009 for sale on Adverts in excellent condition (stickers never used) if anyone looking for that set! (link in my sig).

    My own list

    The Tow Truck 60056 is my current favourite for some reason, I really do like the scale of it.

    I'm hoping to add 9398 Crawler (missed the one for E100 on Adverts last week, brand new in the box and all... :mad:), 21104 Curiosity Rover, 4204 Container truck and 42023 Construction Crew as funds allow. None of the other 1H2104 impress me at all

    Got the construction crew. Three nice units. Good build experience. Decent amount of parts too but no panels. Good ideas for future MOC's and potential to build other models from them.

    Sorry about that, I was lucky and managed to get in 20 min before you :D

    Its still sitting at home sealed up I'm looking forward to it, maybe this wet weekend will be good chance to build it, my first set with IR control also.

    I will get that one eventually, trying to get the older sets first before they sell out.
