Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400 Reviews
The Lego Car Blog
“The cab. So big, so bright, so orange! It looks great – better than in the pictures on the box. An easy thing to put together, it comes as a bit of light relief after the complexities of the chassis. There's enough detail here to satisfy, as well, including the welcome use... More of some actual old fashioned studded bricks (remember those ?) on the front.”
TechnicBRICKs
“This is the most anticipated LEGO Technic set from 2011. The Unimog U400 looks definitely targeted for the AFOL segment because of its size, huge part count, complexity and number of functions, to mention just a few. To sum up LEGO have done a great job on his set I´m sure... More it will appeal to both young and older Technic fans.”

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.
