“Although this set will not win any prizes in the size department, it is a really nice looking model and the new colour scheme is actually quite striking. It is worth noting that there are a few axles that are left exposed and I'm not sure why these couldn't have been covered... More with a small bush, but that aside it's a good representation of an actual Cherry Picker and due to its size will not take up too much shelf space.”

“Quite a few Technic sets have been re-issued a second, or even a third time in the past, but I think this is the first example of one that has been entirely re-coloured, but correct me if I'm wrong. So from that point of view it's quite interesting.”

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.
