I agree with Greg that not one of these sets looks good to me either.  I
miss brick beams.  I also think the fairing pieces in place of brick beams
actually detract from the model.  It doesn't look as "solid" as the old
stuff.

The two metal hooks in the truck are interesting, as well as the trans-red
beams on top.  The rearview mirrors are a new shape to me.

Yet the psuedo-bio-techy look of Bionicle really doesn't belong in Technic.
I know that TLG will parts across themes for maximize mold usage, but surely
there are other pieces they could choose.

Now that I have seen them closer...nothing special in that mini-technic
set...the airplane is nice and actually the Bionicle blades look • good...the 4WD
is nice but there isn't anything that atracts me to it (the hook is kind • of
small...the Bionicle hook would be better served in this set)...now...that
beautiful red truck...reminds me of a Mercedes Actros...those yellow • pneumatic
tubes don't work too well with the red truck and the Bionicle hook...fine • I'll
take it easy...the problem with it: too small...Lego could have used the • hook
from the Pneumatic Crane Truck :D

(...) I think these mirrors are the same pieces that holds the shields in the Knights Kingdom Large Figures. Arne (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
