“I love building Technic, but small sized sets are usually boring stuff. I stated I actually was surprised during the building of the Tractor, and this surely is credit to the set, or you may view it as me admitting I have very little mechanical insight.”

“The finished models are both really sturdy and fun to play with. The buggy has front steering and suspension at the back. Also the V2, which is exposed. Overall has all the expected functions, only one wheel in connected to the motor. The tractor offers an even better... More building experience, it turns like a front loader.”

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 Dune Buggy set 8296 was released on December 22, 2007, retailing for $20, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $62, while used sets sell around $14.
