“The Power Puller from the Lego Technic series is great at first glance, but then disappoints all the way. Pure boredom both during set-up and when playing! The model can't really be played with, it just goes straight ahead. It's supposed to be! There is still the possibility... More to change the translation with accessories, but there is no real pleasure in this either. It’s very close to the original, but leaves everything else to be desired. Therefore only three stars in the overall rating.”

“There are so many options given in the manual for ways to change things. When I actually built it though, it was a bit of a letdown. The various engine configurations are just cosmetic, the extra motor and speed computer aren't included, and so there's just not that much to... More do. It's a sweet set and I love seeing Lego make unique machines, but there's just not enough play value here.”

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.
