Fast & Furious Mitsubishi Eclipse Car Reviews
“Aimed at ages 14+ the new set features a working piston engine, ‘HOG’ steering, opening doors, hood and trunk, and stickers that recreate the car’s famous early-‘00s graphics.”
“With the green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from the first “The Fast and the Furious” film from 2001, this car driven by Brian O’Conner is finally getting its first treatment as a LEGO set. The vehicle is only driven in the movie’s first race by the protagonist played by Paul... More Walker, before being blown up during the course of the film and later replaced by the already-familiar Toyota Supra.”
About Technic Fast & Furious
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.
