Hi all,

I’ve got a question for all TECHNIC enthusiasts out there... six questions, really. What types of TECHNIC vehicles would you like to see?

I’ve created six polls on LUGNET, each with 3 or 4 choices for a given price range. Now’s a good time to let LEGO hear your voice - please let us know which type of vehicle you’d prefer in a given price range.

This is an informal community poll, there are no guarantees that the top scorers will actually be made into TECHNIC sets at some point. However, it’s important for the company to see what its consumers prefer, of course. Thanks for your votes!

TECHNIC Poll 1: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €129.99 range?

TECHNIC Poll 2: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €79.99 range?

TECHNIC Poll 3: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €49.99 range?

TECHNIC Poll 4: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €49.99 range?

TECHNIC Poll 5: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €29.99 range?

TECHNIC Poll 6: Which TECHNIC model(s) would you buy in the €19.99 range?

Thank you,
Kelly McKiernan, LEGO TECHNIC Webmaster

(...) I'm not the world's biggest Technic fan, I will admit that. But I've been a Technic (a.k.a. Expert Builder) fan for a while and still have my original #853 Auto Chassis, #854 Go-kart and #850 Fork Lift. I also have a handful of newer Technic (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) It's hard take a poll like this without more info. I like all sorts of vehicles, but I'm more interested in what's in the sets- what parts, what functions, what colors, etc. The 8275 Bulldozer wouldn't be much of an inspiration, except it's (...)

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 (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
Well since I already own hundreds of technic sets, most of them vehicles, I would like to something else than *vehicles*. The old control center sets brought us a pen plotter and robotic T-Rex... How about a working clock? Factory+conveyor? Better (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
None of the models in those polls are particularly appealing to me. I second what others have said about space models. Another idea would be to take the jet aircraft from 4953 Fast Flyers and make a large technic model. Have rotating wings, landing (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
I'm not a huge fan of technic sets. My neighbor is =) I have my share of robotics and I've bought a few technic sets. I've recently been buying all the old RC sets, 5 or so years ago I bought some RC technic cars from radioshack and they were tons (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I'd like to see a starfighter with Technic fig, farm tractors with technic fig, and machine shop tools (drill presses, lathes, vise, press, etc. to technic fig scale. Maybe each machine as a small set separately to build up your own size machine (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Hi Kelly, As a regular buyer of Lego (Technic is my favourite) the three things I consider when looking at a new set (not in any order): 1. Functionality. What does this model do? 2. Useful pieces/colors. What else could I make? 3. Design. (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) I'll give LEGO a real challenge: Do you remember the model in technic ideas book 8889 pages 38-41? That model was build with parts from sets 8848, 8859 and 8860. What if LEGO comes up with a few models (3 or 4) for example in price range €50, (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) I think helicopters are a great idea. How about a Sikorsky Skycrane? You get the rotor actions, plus you could include multiple 'payloads' with winching action and that could serve as their own models. In fact, look at this incredible picture: (...)

(...) OK - voted for my favs! I chose construction vehicles with cranes and excavators having most favored status. I hope whatever the ultimate selections are, that more studded beams and less panels will be utilized ala the Technic Shuttle set: (2 (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
Well, I would buy all the sets in Polls 2, 3, & 4. But want I REALLY want to see from Technic is a return to the original Technic BRICK construction system - no more silly beams without studs Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 BAYLUG (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) For me the new bulldozer marks a return to some studded building, which in my opinion is welcomed. So far there have been some good suggestions. What about some process line plant, that would manipulate a object on a conveyer and maybe put it (...) (17 years ago, 6-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)  
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
Hi, I've never been a big Technic fan, but I've bought a few sets over the years and my next major LEGO purchase will probably be that big yellow RC bulldozer. I've always been interested in incorprating technic elements into minifig scale (...) (17 years ago, 7-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) According to what I have been reading so far, people need many realistic functions on their models. I am of the same view. Many have also expressed a wish of a cross-theme type of model (i.e. space shuttle). the space shuttle was great because (...) (17 years ago, 8-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Here are a few of my ideas: robotic arm (advanced version of set #8094) carnival rides (set #4957 is a good start) areal cable car (similar to the one in idea book #8889) remote controlled hovercraft (could be moving around on wheels) airplane with (...)

(...) ((info)) (...) I would like to see Technic versions of classic Space/Town sets... 6950, 6861, 452, etc. Kind of an "all-growed-up" version. Failing that, it would be neat to walk into a store and see a minifig-scale model of (something) then (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

No shortage of crane options. I like that :-) How about a large pedestal-mounted crane? (2 URLs) Now I'm biased because I built one :-) (URL) But this sort of model lends itself well to RC'ing, particularly with a 4-function control (i.e. just like (...)

  Re: What would YOU like to see from TECHNIC?
 
(...) I'd like a Technic figure industrial railway. You could use plastic track but with flat ends so you could make things like rotary dumpers without leaving a gap at the end of the rails. And being plastic it could be left outdoors. Every year (...) (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
