“The Front End Loader from the Lego Technic series is a successful model of a loader built from relatively few parts. The construction alone is a lot of fun. Added to this are the functions and the pretty well done appearance in relation to the original. Unfortunately, the... More control of the blade does not quite work, because when the push frame is raised and lowered, the blade tilts slightly away. Only for this reason it is not quite enough for the highest rating, so that there are only 5 stars.”

“The 8828 loader, released in 1992, is the smaller cousin of the previous 8853. It has the same features, but implements them in a different way. It features rear wheel rack and pinion steering and a scoop which lifts and dumps via flex cables. Despite its compact size,... More its appearance is quite accurate and the functions work great.”

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.
