LEGO Technic #42024 Container Truck Review

Here's another review that I would like to share from Eurobricks. I rarely post about LEGO Technic, but sharing such a good information that can assist in people purchases is something I think is worth sharing. Indeed Jim did a great job writing the heavily visual guided review. 

#42024 Container Truck Review

I guess for Technic set, the larger the set, the better it gets since the are bigger and comes with a better functionality. With all the functions, there is definitely a higher satisfaction by completing the large machine. The feeling of solid and bigger vehicle is definitely different from the small sets. Usually a big set will cause pain to my finger, for people like me who did not have any patience I will finish it within a day, maybe some might took a few day to complete it due to the pain it inflicted to your finger?

LEGO Technic #42023 Construction Crew Review

Eurobricks is a good place to looks for review and news especially when they have so many members around the world. There is always some member managed to grab hold of a set earlier than any others and they do contribute in a good way for the others.

 #42023 Construction Crew Review

After looking at the review, these three construction vehicles looks pretty cool and I do agree with the reviewer that this set is suitable for those that are looking for some playability. I see most of the kids starts with playing some non-LEGO cars as their toys and many others, but this one might be the right set for them as well since they are somewhat different with those non-LEGO construction vehicle that are ready made. This one will get them to build and get them to feel the functionality. They might be happier with the end result since they put in effort to get all three of them set up.

LEGO Technic #42026 Black Champion Racer Review

I guess this was the all the three review that Brickset has put up at the moment. Is sure feels good to get 2014 playset earlier than others. Below picture is taken from Brickset:

#42026 Black Champion Racer Review

This set playability is probably the pull back motors and the ability to combine with another playset to create another different vehicle.

LEGO Technic #42022 Hot Rod Review

Here's another review that is posted 3 days ago in Brickset. This is the current one I suppose and I think the engine cylinder parts is the attraction here. Below is a picture taken from Brickset: 

#42022 Hot Rod Review

This set have the roof function which I think is not bad. I can said I do not own any Technic playset for now since I have bad experience with them back in my young days. During that time sourcing parts is not easy here in Malaysia, so I cannot comment much on Technic theme itself. Honestly, I have very few knowledge of this theme, but I can said some parts cannot last long and easily breaks after a few years. However, now sourcing parts is easier with Bricklink, I think there is no worries of having some parts breaks cause of aging anymore.

LEGO Technic #42021 Snowmobile Review

LEGO Technic no doubt have a few nice items which I was tempted but still I have to resist them due to funds and priority. Some set of 2014 start popping up in some countries, and Brickset is lucky enough to get some set from LEGO to do review. Below image is taken from Brickset:

#42021 Snowmobile Review

The snowmobile sure do looks nice at certain angle, but then I feel that it seems like a skeleton from the side view. Perhaps we might need to source parts to cover up the side to make it looks more solid. For locals here, we pretty much prefer original version rather than modification as I can hardly see MOD or MOC here in my countries, probably price is the issue here.

LEGO Technic - August

Though I put August there is one coming in March, #42000 Grand Prix Racer. Somehow I think this race car looks very good and I felt that it sure able to attracts many fans of Technic to get this. Maybe is just too long LEGO have not release this sort of F1 model.

#42000 Grand Prix Racer

$129.99 USD

1141 pieces

While here's the one coming in August. Some gigantic vehicle and some medium size vehicle which is looks good in design.

#42005 Monster Truck

$49.99 USD

329 pieces

#42008 Service Truck

$129.99 USD

1275 pieces

#42009 Mobile Crane Mk II

$219.99 USD

2606 pieces

I am definitely not a LEGO Technic fans but I can say some of this humongous vehicle do fetch a good price once the product is EOL. I can see there are a number of huge Technic set been released. Now that the Mobile Crane is coming again, some that missed the older version, I mean much more older than the previous release might want to grab one of this.

LEGO Technic #42007 Motorcross Bike Review

I'm not a fans for Technic myself but sometimes they do have a pretty nice set which unfortunately I have to skip to them too due to budget constraint. If you would like to get one, but still undecided, here's a review from Brickset.

#42007 Motorcross Bike Review

I know they release one not long ago or maybe time flies and I do not realize it's actually been a couple of year. For those that have missed the previous version, maybe the year 2008 one, is a good time to snap one up now. This new one looks a little identical to the previous one.
