(...) 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)

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)

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)

Something else that would be cool would be a Chinook or similar double-rotor helicopter. Doesn't need to be military, there are civilian versions of the Chinook and other double rotor helis out there. (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.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)

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)

Allan's suggestions are all excellent. I've never been a big Technic builder/collector either, but the ones that I bought were the ones that DIDN'T fall within the usual vehicle selections of cranes & farming equipment. The #8480 Space Shuttle is a (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.technic)
