“I would personally rate this set right up there with the best Technic sets ever made, especially among the construction vehicles. I would highly recommend it to any collector or enthusiast. It looks great and works great and I even think the price is reasonable for what you... More get. I know it's hard to believe, but I think this set is equal or superior to 8459.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO set is recognized for its improvements over previous models, featuring a more refined design, linear actuators, and articulated steering, offering good value for its price and scope. While not the pinnacle of Technic sets, it ranks highly, notable for its detailed aesthetics, excellent portrayal of a front loader, and a parts selection that ensures a satisfying build complexity.”
 

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Front Loader set 8265 was released in July 2009, retailing for $80, but has since been retired. New, unopened Front Loader sets are valued at $255, while used sets can be found for $82 in good condition.
