Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'd been wanting to get into Technic LEGO for a long time and finally jumped in with both feet by purchasing the excavator/bulldozer, street bike/chopper, mini tractor/side car motorbike, dune buggy/ tractor, and telehandler/front-end loader kits. I have to say that I am wholly satisfied.
I've only built the excavator of this kit and it's such a beautiful piece that I want to admire it, play with it, and study it a little more. It was the second kit I built following the mini-tractor, which is a tiny intro to the Technic system. This excavator has a rather intricate gearing system combined with some ingenius use of fulcrum and pivots that is pretty damned cool. It has a large swivel plate and tracked wheels as well.
I bought some Bioncle a few years ago just for kicks and since have had fun mixing the pieces with the kids in my family to make "Robots!". I wanted to get into Technic to add the mechanical aspect and the excavator is an essential bit of that system. I love to just play with it and examine how the pieces are related and I'm learning a lot about how to use Technic. It will probably be a couple months before I take it apart and build the dozer, if I can bring myself to do it at all. I hope I don't end up buying two more of the sets, one for a permanent dozer and one for pieces to free play with.
If you're interested in Technic, you'll learn a lot from this. The finished model doesn't have quite the robust appearance that the street bike or telehandler have, but the gearing and fulcrum build of it more than make up for it. It's a killer set, and perhaps my favorite from the mechanical aspect.
