“This tractor/trailer combination, released in 1993, was one of the physically largest Technic sets to date. It is effectively 3 sets in one box. Individually, none of the models would stand out from the pack. Taken as a whole, however, they make a rather unique addition... More to the Technic line. This method of combining multiple models in one was much more common in the Model Team theme.”

“This model from the Lego Technic series is in my opinion on the border between the Lego Technic series and the Model Team series. At that time, the Lego Technic models still looked very abstract, which is not really the case here. It’s a nice model with many functions, which... More guarantees a lot of fun.”

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.
