I decided to grab another Technic set for this one. I love the look of this and loved the overall mechanics that were added to its design. This was sadly filled with placky-bags, but it wasn’t the end of the world, that can be given the STICKERS! Lego like to make you add stickers to the glossy panels on these sets. I suppose that they are not like standard tiles and would be a pain to print on. I did say in the ‘Build with G‘ episode, that I wasn’t sure if I paid £9 for this, but I actually paid £13. I still think it is a blinder of a build for the money, and worth a gift recommendation, if nothing else. I made a right blunder duiring the filming, but like I said in last week’s ‘suitcase‘ post, I aim to leave all mistakes in, becuase that’s how I roll!
From the beginning, you get the usual frame building start. This is common with vehicle sets in the Technic range. I enjoyed this build, as my love of Technic helps, but the feeling of value, is even better. I genuinely believe that this is one of those sets that offers a lot for the cost of the set! Specifics include a single strutted suspension, a cool popping set of pistons on the engine block and two seats! There isn’t a pullback engine, but having not fully read the back of the box, I was surprised by the excellent steering mechanism. It is turns by twisting the frame. the wheels automatically turn in the direction of you are angling it at. I love this, such a nice addition without the need of extra gearing for a wheel. I love to think that Technic can be accessible, and this had a glimmer of that, in it.
It is, overall, a great set. If you have built Technic vehicles, before, you will be well versed in the design ideas here. Even though the stickers are annoying, the use of them on the front wheel discs is a nice touch. There are a few tight fittings involved, so small hands might need help with this. I like the use of the clear discs placed over white, part pins, to creafe the lighting for the buggy. It doesn’t use an engine block, in this instance, but opts to have an engine built onto the frame. It is simple, but is very effective. These are always a great play build, so I can see it being whell travelled on the lounge floor! Happy times!
