The Mud Masher was one of the first Technic sets I bought following
MindStorms (after my dark age).  I think it is a bit expensive for what it
is, but the design is very cool.  This model ranks with the very most
'playable' LEGO models of all!

Build On!

8226 Mud Masher

This is the firest new Technicn Kit I have bought in about a year.
I think TLG is doiing something with the ABS - it seems almost
translucent for some of the red bits.

Overall, I like this kit. There is some dexterity involved
in assembly and the mechanism is new - but obvious to any kid
that skateboards.

At this point I'll say that the only reason I have for buying new
Technic is to check out new mechanical ideas. I certainly have
enough parts.

The new steering mounts are useful, and I like the L-shaped
half beam. As a rule, I don't like the flexi-tubes, but they are
needed to give this model some shape.

It has a high vroooomability factor - which makes it work for me.

The alternate trike model is lame.

Cheers,
