“It's a medium sized Technic set, so it's not too challenging but it's enough for hours of fun! The functions are fun and it's good looking. I just think EUR 30,00 is a bit much. Also the yellow black color scheme is getting a bit boring after a while.”

“This LEGO set boasts great colors, chunky wheels, and an impressive steering mechanism. It features a rare angle rotation brick and can be rebuilt into a unique construction vehicle. While the rotating hinge brick broke and the B-model looks a bit unrealistic, the main model offers detailed mechanics and the ability to lift heavy objects, making it a worthwhile addition.”
 

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.
