Ah finally. It’s great to see that lego want to know what we want when it comes
to lego TECHNIC.
However for me it is not only about the chosen inspiration for a model, but what
functionality and parts (especially new function orientated parts) are in that
set. I would really like to see realistic live axles with
drive/steering/suspention in a technic set. There are many many more ideas in a
thread called “technic, what happened to the good old days?” I would really
recommend reading this thread.
As for the insirations for models in that poll I was not that exited on the
whole. Farming equipment is soooooooooooooo boring. Tractor goes forward,
tractor goes back. tractor goes forward, tractor turns left. That fine for a
tiny technic model but a larger model should offer much more than that. Here is
my list of models that I think would be good starting points for sets.
Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €129.99 range?
Sea king rescue helicoptor (including fully functional cyclic/collective/tail
rotor pitch controls for both pilots, motor, winch)

pneumatics, steering, tilting front axle)
Super car (including 6 speed+revease gearbox with gear stick linkages, V8/10
engine, suspention, steering)

steering, suspention)
Monster truck (including live axles, suspention, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel
steering, gearbox, engine, motorised)
Excavator (incuding motorised air compressor/tracks/engine/superstructure
rotation, much longer pneumatics, steering via gearbox)
Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €79.99 range?
Monster truck (including live axles, suspention, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel
steering, gearbox, engine, can be motorised)
Motorbike (including in-line 4 engine, gearbox, front and rear suspention,
working brakes, steering)
