Thankfully the helicopter does nothing for me.....but that 4x4 will have to be bought. Any chance it stays under 200? Seems like an awful lot of PF....

The 4x4 looks like it going to be priced at the same level as the Unimog. The helicopter looks pretty cool though.

Here's some more better quality pics!

I'll probably get a 9398 4x4 crawler just to get the new Lego power function servo motors and see how they work.

The only thing that looks out of the ordinary on the 9396 helicopter is the four airfoils/blades. I'm not sure if I'll get it. I would have preferred a working flying quadcopter rather than a realistic model though _ which would require lighter airfoils with a greater surface area, micro hi RPM PF motors, and a lightweight Poly-Lithium power pack.

That 4x4 is ridiculous. Makes my inner redneck feel nerd-cool.

The 9398 4x4 crawler is now available at the lego store. It's MRSP is 199.99

Got the crawler for $160 plus tax at TRU this past weekend, using a 20% off coupon. I can't wait to build it. However, it is technically for my son, so I've got to wait :-(
