 Mixed feelings, but still a great setOct 22, 2010

"Seek truth with discernment"
Lego Technic sets are expensive. I can see why with all of the pieces and the instructions are very well put together. This set is a good set and I think it has a lot for the price. I have mixed feelings about it; however.
When I grew up, the Technic sets had more "universal" pieces. They had a lot of the long, straight "beam" pieces (the ones with the holes in them) and the regular flat pieces, and less of the more specialized bent pieces and connectors. This meant that you could actually do a lot more with the sets than you can with the new ones, or so it seems. The new sets seem to rely more on all the little snap connectors to hold all of the specialized pieces together. This is both good and bad.
Good, the finished model or toy is much sturdier than the old ones would have been. Also, using the specialized pieces you get a higher quality finished look. It looks more "realistic".
Bad in the fact that you have a much harder time creating your own model because the peices are more specialized. It's hard to create something out of your head, so to speak, because you can't just snap pieces together anymore. You have to take all the little pieces and find a way to get them together in such a way that they reach your goal. That's kind of the point with Legos, but it is just more difficult now than it used to be. Also bad, which pieces get lost first? The little ones. With more little ones and less big ones, you run the risk of losing more of your pieces.
For this specific model, I have little to fault with other than my general faults above. The ONLY real problem with this model is that the wheels fall off. There is nothing to keep them on. I suspect that some of the smallest spacer/caps could be used to hold them in place, but there aren't enough of them in the kit nor are the axles long enough. It makes it hard to play with when it comes apart every time you turn it. But both sets of instructions yield a good finished model and it is fun to build.
As I mentioned at the top, the instructions are great. I love how each page has a box with all of the required pieces for that step, and they have a gage to use to make sure you get the correct axle piece. This helps a lot especially when you are building the model with your children.
I think I will start liking the "new" Technic system much more when I get more sets and have more pieces to chose from. I only have two sets currently and it is just really hard to create anything outside of the intended model. I never had that problem as a kid playing with these sets.
All in all, they are still a great toy. They are still fun, they still inspire creativity, and I highly recommend them for children of the listed age (I believe 8-14 on these), young adults, and any parent with a child that they can sit with to help build these.

I gave this to my grandson for Christmas. He was so happy and couldn't wait to put it together. It was a great father/son time.
