“LEGO's Drag Racer has quality details. Lift up the body of the car to reveal different car parts, steer the car with a steering part, which makes it really feel like you're racing, or pop a wheelie. Builder will feel accomplished once they see and test their drag racer. As a... More bonus, this set offers a two-in-one model build. It can be dismantled and rebuilt into a Supercharged Dragster.”

“There are two compelling reasons to purchase this set: first, the rare parts are justification particularly because of the tumbler tyres, and secondly, this is quite a good mid-sized set with a V8 engine which will appeal to many LEGO Technic car enthusiasts.”

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.
