You already posted this review on January 29th!

While I realize that you think that every model with a different paint scheme and decals deserves its own review, posting the same review twice nearly 3 weeks apart is just pathetic.

This is a different one, the one from the other page is a XL, this is a. LGP.

To be fair, both models were reviewed in the original XL review so you could say it already has been reviewed but to use words like pathetic is a bit harsh.

I watch some of "Cranes Etc" reviews over and over again, so I guess if a duplicate review comes along once in a while, who cares. Keep up the good work.

The way it works is that every model that is reviewed, and that has a unique model number, gets its own page on the Cranes Etc website so that the catalogue is as complete as possible for anyone who wants to look up a model. However because of the time it takes to make videos, similar or related models sometimes have to share a video. In this particular case the two models are different - the PR 736 XL is not the same as the PR 736 LGP, and so the review pages are different.

How much does this service cost us Ian?

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I find Ian reviews and videos of high quality, informative and highly entertaining. Nothing Pathetic about that.

IAN looking forward you doing a review on the Komatsu WA1200 Wheel Loader



Personally i think there is no wow factor in the detail to pay out $500Aud to me looks just another basic norscot 994F equivalent (maybe has lot features/ detai i can't see ? ) - for now i'd go out spend the $$$ on another LeTourneau 1850 going by the pics i've seen so far of the 1200.

Whatever you do, don't stop sharing your posts and links here, over some unfortunate uptight reaction to one of your posts.

Keep up the great reviews Ian, I have always referred to them prior to making a purchase as they are very descriptive and contain detailed information that can not be found in a manufacturers promo flyer or photo.

Can you please answer a simple question regarding the Conrad 98023 Faymonville CombiMax. Do the Conrad 99912 Liebherr LG/LR 1750 Transport Adaptors fit the connection points on the modular trailers where the pins go through to link them all up?

Regards,
Shane

A simple question indeed but unfortunately I don't have 99912 to hand at the moment. I'll try and check but it may take some time.

Vögele Super 1900-3

Fantastic reviews as always Ian! My simple question. Model manufacturers send you a model to review, do you get to keep the model and thus have a giant model collection that any of us would be jealous of? Or do you have to send the models back when the review is complete?
