 Dear LEGO / 3772 (-10)
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) Two problems: 1) A current problem with Technic (which even I can see just poking around looking for Castle stuff) is that there are very few <$30 Technic sets that are not some kind of Tech Play. If people have to shell out over $100 to get (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Gungan (...) out (...) SNIP (to save space) (...) Hear, hear! I'll agree with all of that and put myself up to be shot at as well! Happened to be in a very well known large department store in London, UK today ... 5yr old comes back with Mum, (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) I'm not denying that there are SOME traditional Technic parts out there but they are few and far between (except for in RIS sets). You will spend a small fortune in trying to obtain a quantity comparable to what you used to get with ANY large (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

"Fredrik Glöckner" <fredrik.glockner@bio.uio.no> wrote in message news:qrdg03zfdgp.fsf....uio.no... (...) Yes, but how long will this continue, I wonder. (...) I must disagree. In fact, I can construct a very rigid chassis of arbitrary size using (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) For a small go cart, you don't even need to go that far back! The 1998 set 8219 has it all. It even seats a technic figure. I think the low seat on the 8219 looks more realistic. I like the angled engine block on 8815, though. We've also had (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) Personally, I dont think going back that far is a good idea. My picks for examples of great small technic sets: (being a technic fan, all of these would be sets I would consider buying either for the set or for parts) 8808 F1 Racer 8810 Cafe (...)

  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) I wasn't really suggesting it for the LEGENDS series, but rather presenting it as an example of a small scale, small piece count Technic set that could retail for less than $120. Way way less than $120. (...) Of course it's blocky.... it's (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) I agree. I'm one of the one's complaining that they release so many vehicle-related sets. But the quality of design has fallen dramatically over the years, there's little doubt. So maybe they'd do better getting back to vehicles. :) (...) But (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) I wouldn't go THAT far but let's just say it's not a set that I see a strong need to bring back. Not hardly. It's blocky, it doesn't have a lot of neat features, etc. Now if you want to talk about a set from that era that was good, how about (...)

  Re: Is "traditional" Technic being killed off?
 
(...) Really? The demand to release sets that weren't exclsively vehicles has existed for quite a while now. It's nice to see them finally taking notice and giving the fans what they want-FEWER VEHICLES. (...) Simple. They have to suffer just like (...)
