“This set packs a lot in a small box. For €9.99 you get a vehicle with steering and moving engine. The cynic in me notes that it's the same amount of functions as the €179.99 42141-1 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car. When I build a Technic set, I want Technic functions. The 42132-1... More gets the maximum out of a minimum of parts. This is the perfect set to get your child (or yourself) interested in Technic.”

“Another clever aspect of the bike is the fact that the designer chose to use a wider wheel for the back, and a thinner one for the front. But for a small set, it packs a punch. First of all, for its size, it actually looks damn good, especially when you look at the side with... More the chain exposed. And speaking of that chain — which by the way is a great piece to have in a set this small — it drives a not one, not two, but three-piston engine! My jaw dropped. The building techniques were a lot less basic than I expected, and while sure, not difficult to build, it did teach even me, an old LEGO fart a couple of things.”

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.
