“This was a good start into the technic theme for me and I enjoyed it a lot. The different unload and dump modes are great and a fairly simple mechanism makes that all work. Overall very good model, would have liked to see the whole thing RCed and moves and drives but that... More would have brought the cost up a lot.”

“I definitely liked some of the features of this set, including the tipping/lifting mechanism and the blue Technic pieces, but there are also many areas in which it could have been improved. Nevertheless, I give it a thumbs up, especially if you are interested getting in the... More power functions parts.”

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.
Summary
Technic Container Truck set 8052 was released on August 5, 2010, retailing for $70, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $308, while used sets sell around $66.
