Sorry for the non-standard review format...
8226 Mud Masher
This is the firest new Technicn Kit I have bought in about a year.
I think TLG is doiing something with the ABS - it seems almost
translucent for some of the red bits.
Overall, I like this kit. There is some dexterity involved
in assembly and the mechanism is new - but obvious to any kid
that skateboards.
At this point I'll say that the only reason I have for buying new
Technic is to check out new mechanical ideas. I certainly have
enough parts.
The new steering mounts are useful, and I like the L-shaped
half beam. As a rule, I don't like the flexi-tubes, but they are
needed to give this model some shape.
It has a high vroooomability factor - which makes it work for me.
The alternate trike model is lame.
Cheers,

| The Mud Masher was one of the first Technic sets I bought following MindStorms (after my dark age). I think it is a bit expensive for what it is, but the design is very cool. This model ranks with the very most 'playable' LEGO models of all! Build (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.reviews)
