Nice pics Helios1234. Have you got any pictures with another object, like a coke can or a phone etc, to show the size of the crane?Photos of my crane:
I want one of these cranes. I'm still kicking myself for not getting one in late November/early December when I found one for just over £120.

I don't know how big the minifig is though.I haven't unfortunately
Even a pen or a mug or something standard would be good for scale.

Here you go:
The crane boom does extend a bit more than that.

Nice one, thanks. It's quite a big bit of kit then.
Got to work out where I would place it on display if I did get one!

Yeah it's big alright! It's longer than my keyboard and that's not exactly small (Logitech G510).

There's a shot with the boom and outriggers fully extended.
Saw the trailer for that when i took my son to the cinema, it looked rubbish to be honest. Especially compared to the Padawn menace and Empire Lego films he got for xmas. They are fantastic. Darth Maul intro alone was superb...

New build
The crane looks awesome.
Well I was up at a friends house just before New Year and their 5 year old daughter got a lego friends boat from Santa and I was helping her build it.
1 week later I now have:
Technic F1 car
Red Five X-wing
R2D2
The DeLorean
Slightly impulsive but I've been meaning to buy a big set for years, but not got round to it.
Also my old man is wanting me to help him lear out his loft soon so I reckon I may possibly find a box full of Lego from the late 80s and early 90s up there. We shall see!

That's basically how I got hooked again. Was clearing some loft space and found some old Lego.. a month later and I have a massive box full of Lego City vehicles.
Got the Lego City Logging Truck (60059) and Lego City Cement Mixer (60018) coming today.
Lego Simpsons House is confirmed. Worldwide release on February 1st for $200 (£120ish if converted straight to GBP)
