“Once again, Lego Technic makes a buggy. A nice one, by the way. Probably the best part is the steering, with a steering wheel just like in the blue 2008 dune buggy. Also, this one has a V4 engine, independent front suspension, and normal suspension in the back. It looks... More beautiful, sleek and rough at the same time.”

“This is a definitely a set for Technic fans. That may sound like a cliche, but some of the smaller Technic sets can easily appeal to just about anybody and at the cheaper prices, you don’t take too much of a hit financially.”
