(...) I don't agree with you: 1) This is not what I call a "great looking model". 2) It is not in the price range of 4 x €50 (I'm talking about a bigger model than for example 8275 or 8421!!) 3) This model doesn't require any special elements at (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.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: (...)

(...) 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'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.
