Skid Steer Loader Reviews
Eurobricks
“It manages to take the small size of its early predecessor, yet combine it with some of the better functionality of its bigger brother. The single boom design can cause the function to be a little shaky, but other than that, it serves the set well. The build experience... More certainly isn't quite as good as its larger brother, but I often enjoy unique builds like this, rather than more standard cars.”

“Overall, this is a fun little model with some satisfying touches that will have a lot of appeal for those looking for an introduction to Technic. While it might not offer anything new to veterans of the theme, it's still got enough going on at a low cost to make it worth... More checking out.”

“There's nothing here really that'll be of interest to AFOLs -- other than a pair of black bushes that have not been used in a Technic set since 2005 -- but as a means of introducing the more advanced building system to a youngster and fostering an interest in mechanics and... More machines, it's ideal.”
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.
