any cool parts?
nope. all classic parts. thats part of its charm. ummmm,janey did
point out there was a 8 L technic axle with "stop" that seemed to be
new. but nothing you couldn't make with a axle and 1/2 bushing.
it was a nice build.
And it was, what seemed to be a return to "classic" build style, where
many smaller parts were used to make "the bigger" thing, vs just a BRUP
part. (or whatever the cool kids are calling that now, "jack stone" or
juniorization i think)
if your a Brick link guy and can get the separate elements from
bricklink, then the only thing you are short is the treads, and the 4
hubs needed to drive them.
this set would be just a tiny bit better with a 2nd controller. so you
could drive AND raise/lower the front at once.
oh, and the pneumatic brackets are just greebling. Lego could have also
used just 2x2 rounds and got very close to the same "look"
