Air Race Jet Reviews
Blocks Magazine Issue 32
“Big, bold and stuffed with useful parts, the latest Technic plane has plenty to offer. Despite the branding as a ‘race jet’, it rather resembles a fighter craft. Either way, it is a great looking model, and notably large. In fact, the Air Race Jet’s heft does make for a... More slightly cumbersome plaything. As a display piece, however, it is superb.”

“The functions are downright brilliant in the LEGO Air Race Jet set. They can move nine different elements, all using the same motor. However, the design of the jet isn't. The cockpit seems way too big and the wings and fins are ridiculous. The top fins are bigger than the... More wings and have this weird beam extending from each of them. The amount of mechanisms is amazing and is a testament to the designer's ingenuity.”

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.
