“I love things that are different and this boat, released in 1993, certainly fits that criteria. It is the only Technic hovercraft (save 8246 which hardly counts). I'm not sure why it was not repeated as this is a very good rendition of a small hovercraft. The hidden... More wheels control "steering" while the rear pusher propeller follows along. The propeller also rotates as the wheels are turned when the model moves.”

“The Hovercraft is a really well-made model. Although there are few functions, the model is made of very few parts. But the good appearance makes up for a lot.”

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 Hovercraft set 8824 was released in May 1993, retailing for $26, but has since been retired. New, unopened Hovercraft sets are valued at $49, while used sets can be found for $18.
