“The whole design of the crane is well done; I found myself playing with the levers and pulleys for over an hour after I finished building it.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“Key highlights include its realistic features and the inclusion of 'weight bricks' for stability, with the alternative high-rise crane model being a personal favorite for its design. However, limitations include its inability to lift heavy objects, the noise from cranking, less smooth track movement, and a degree of fragility under certain conditions. Despite these drawbacks, it remains my top Technic pick for 2006.”
 

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.
