Up for auction is the iconic LEGO Technic "Car Transporter" (#42098). This substantial model is an excellent example of engineering in LEGO form, offering a challenging build and highly realistic functionality. Status: This is a retired set; it was officially retired by LEGO in March 2021 and is no longer available in retail stores. Condition: This set is 100% complete with all original parts. It includes the original instruction booklet. Please note that the original box is not included. The Set: With 2,493 pieces, this is a large-scale build featuring a tilting driver's cab to reveal a V6 engine, and a transportable car with a detailed V8 piston engine. Storage: The set has been handled with care and stored in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Why this set is special: The 42098 Car Transporter is highly sought after by Technic fans for its size and authentic features, including vehicle locks on all decks for realistic transport play. Because it is a 2-in-1 model (rebuildable into a Truck and Show Cars), it offers significant value and longevity for collectors and builders alike. Shipping: I understand the importance of quality packing for LEGO sets. This lot will be carefully dismantled (or packed securely to prevent damage to the build) and shipped in a sturdy, protective carton. Tracking and insurance will be included in the shipping process.
