Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As an investment, Go-Kart has performed fairly well over the past years in the Technic theme with an overall growth since retirement of around 1297%. It has also slightly outperformed it's peers with an annual growth averaging about 6.33% per year.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
The Lego Car Blog
“It's certainly the most realistic looking of these (even without the panels) and it's plenty strong enough, but the steering system kills it.”

Technic-Dialog
“The Go-Kart from the Lego Technic series is, in my opinion, not the most beautiful model released by Lego. Although it resembles the original in many details and has two functions with so few parts, there’s still something missing, like the appearance. I think it could’ve... More been designed better. In the end, there are just three stars in the overall rating since it’s very close to the original.”

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 Go-Kart set 8256 was released on June 28, 2009, retailing for $15, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $209, while used sets sell around $11.
