My collection isn't the largest by any means, and I'm always tempted to pick some more "shelf candy" up, but I usually can't find what I'm looking for or the price keeps me awaySilenced

However, I'm willing to do just about anything to get my hands on a Liebherr 984 excavator, preferably the newer C Model if I had my way, but anything works at this point.

I've searched high and low to find one in North America, but since the classifieds were closed, I'm not sure where to turn besides Ebay and dealer sites - but since the models are a few years old they're no longer available.

Ideally, I am looking for the 1:50 Conrad Liebherr R984C with the quick coupler & ripper option; DHS actually carried the model at one point.

I've seen some really great custom work done to this model, and all it does is makes me want to have one even more Whatever





I know it's sort of a long shot, but if anyone knows where to find one, please let me know ASAP!
The only place I've had some luck is German & UK Ebay, but still haven't had this exact model come up.

I'm more than willing to consider the regular C Models without the QC (or the front shovel version), or even the older B model productions that Conrad has done.




However, I like the yellow a bit more than the white Teeth
Damn good looking machine in my opinion! Never have ran a Liebherr though.

KGV123,

This was actually one of models I was able to find on my own.

However, I thought it was sort of odd or ironic that it was a Vinci edition (the more rare model) and not a regular production model.

Appreciate the post though!

Then only EBAY, or somebody who have it and willing to sell.

Thanks to a few forum members suggestions, I've been able to find a new R984C with the quick coupler and ripper out of New York.

However, the model retail is $275.00 plus freight...

Was expecting the model to be around $200; regardless, I'm thinking I should get my hands on it while I can - I'm not sure I'll be able to find another in the US.

On the fence about it, but I have a feeling I'm going put the order in tomorrow if I can't find a cheaper one.

Some still available here (since our host is out of stock and discontinued), but even more expensive than yours for which domestic shipping would also matter :

MSW R984

It is Vinci version, which I not really like, but Conrad models have very good custom potential.
