“My verdict is that this is easily among the very best Technic models ever. Yes it is very expensive, but there are some very good reasons for that. It will teach you everything you want to know about gear systems, transmissions, and mechanics. It will be fun to play with,... More fun to build, and even the alternate model is available if you get bored.”

“During its release, the set was reported to lack a strong enough digging arm to lift the boom of the excavator. This was due to the piece experiencing strain. LEGO has since offered a full refund or Shop@Home credit. They have also offered to send a more efficient... More replacement part. People who bought the set have been offered £10.00 store credit.”

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.
