What would I like to see from TECHNIC? Something different. Something beautiful and elegant and mechanically complex and not another vehicle. Perhaps a mechanical calculator. Or a kinetic sculpture.

Of course, I fully understand that the target audience may be more interested in vehicles but, as the question was addressed to ME, I want something new and unique.

Regards,

Tom

I agree with Tom, I grok how a Babbage Engine might be a hard sell;(1) but I am sure there are a few million things other than something with four wheels, that has play value.

lego spriograph type toy

lego etch-a-sketch

lego GBC

how about a Lego “robot”, or some of the stuff harking back to the “cyberslam” toys.
