That's mainly because they don't produce this set anymore and it's hard to find brand new

See, that's why the bucket hitch is in the wrong place, needs to be on the top edge so it can curl more, then you wouldn't have muesli all over your parents carpet.

OK this years xmas project to help my aspergers syndrome is another technics lego set after a year out building the gelande rc defender.
The model will be the Mercedes-Benz Arocs the largest most complex technics lego kit produced to date. Here are some pics off the website


quote: Climb aboard the awesome Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245! This huge, robust, 2-in-1 LEGO® Technic model is packed with authentic details and features. Turn on the included Power Functions large motor and engage the advanced pneumatic system (new for fall 2015) for complete control over an array of exciting motorized functions. You can operate the ultra-versatile crane arm mechanism, open and close the grabber, extend the outriggers or raise and lower the tipper body! Twin axle steering, double differential drive and fully independent suspension provide ultimate maneuverability, and the driver’s cab tilts to reveal a detailed 6-cylinder engine with moving pistons. Open the cab doors to access the detailed interior with dashboard, blue seating and steering wheel with Mercedes-Benz logo. This meticulously detailed 2015 model also features an extendable crane arm, 4 suspended axles, double wheels on the 2 rear axles, opening tailgate, warning beacons, wing mirrors and comprises 2793 elements, making it the largest LEGO Technic model ever produced. An authentic white, gray and black color scheme and iconic 3-pointed Mercedes-Benz star add the finishing touches to this impressive model. When you feel like another building challenge, rebuild it into the rugged Mercedes-Benz Articulated Construction Truck.

Looks to be very similar to the Unimog, but with extra wheels
