Flatbed Truck Reviews

“I think this is a great set, and a must buy. Its price per piece is very good and the final result is fantastic. What’s more, it includes power functions (battery box and M motor) and a nice variety of pieces, many panels and different colors.”

“This set offers excellent value for its size, with a modular build that makes assembly engaging and satisfying. The flatbed mechanism is impressively sturdy, able to carry heavier models with ease, and the cable system works smoothly for towing. While the innovative fork mechanism adds a nice touch, it's more decorative than functional.”

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.
