Hovercraft Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“On the whole, the Hovercraft is good, but not great. The primary design elements of this model provide the play features that I would expect and want from such a model. I love the spinning rotors, the front ramp, and the cool pilot house. The service truck complements the... More hovercraft quite well.”
Eurobricks
“For what it is supposed to be, this set is doing great! Interesting machine. Lots of (simple) functions. Strong lower bodywork. Nice overall look. At the end, playable set if you are into these types of machines, and if you can get over its issues, most notably the wiggling... More propellers and awkward crane.”

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.
