I don't agree. Considering last year, it is maybe, but I can't call it
extraordinarily good. Just look at the sets available in 1995,1996 and even
1997, so you might see my point.
1995:
8812 Aero Hawk I ( helicopter)
8816 Off Road Rambler (small off-road vehicle)
8829 Dune Blaster (off road race car)
8858 Rebel Wrecker (off road tow truck)
8714 LEGO Technic Team (mini-figures)
8412 Sky Wasp ( helicopter)
8422 V-Twin Super Bike
Nitpicks:
8440 Octan Indy Racer
8485 Technic Control II
1996:
8207 Dune Duster or Hawaiian Beach Patrol (UK)
8223 Hydrofoil 7 or Powerboat Columbia (UK)
8230 Police Buggy or Miami Police Patrol (UK)
8244 Convert-ables or Transformer Set (UK)
8408 V2 Sports Car (UK)
8425 Sky stormer (UK)
Nitpicks:
8286 3 in 1 Car or Amphipower (UK)
8443 Pneumatic Logger (UK)
8456 Multi Racer (UK)
8480 Space Shuttle or Space Shuttle Colorado (UK)
1997:
8205 Blast-Off Dragster
8215 Gyro Copter
8216 Turbo I
8222 VTOL
8229 Tread Trekker
8232 Chopper Force
8408 Desert Ranger
8437 Future Car
Nitpicks:
8277 Giant Model Set
8299 Search Sub w/CDROM
8250 Search Sub
8425 Black Hawk
8443 Pneumatic Log Loader
8456 Fiber Optic Multi Set
8459 Pneumatic Front-End Loader
8479 Barcode Multi-Set
I personally call most of recent 82xx stuff as Technic Jr., and competition
series are even worse. Sets generally consists of not realistic looking,
action oriented models using very less general purpose classic technic
pieces.
