“The Ultimate Convertible from the Lego Technic series clearly belongs to the fantasy models. It’s a racing car whose pillars can be turned into wings. I don’t think there’s anything to add. The model is built from relatively few parts, but still captivates with a well-made... More design. With some imagination, fun is guaranteed. All in all, the model gets four stars in the overall rating.”

“The 8213 Spy Runner is an an example of the rare transforming Technic models. A simple flip of the spoiler converts this model from a car to something that might be a hovercraft or maybe even a flying car. This single function is simple but special. Other than that, the... More green color is the only thing making this model unusual.”

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.
