There has been a lot of grousinf about the current andrecent Technic line
and I share some of those concerns. With more and more character or story
driven sets falling under the Technic Rubric (i.e. Bionicle, Roboriders)
sets focusing on functionality seem to be getting fewer. The Technic line is
also having its market eaten into by Mindstorms. At least the big, show
stopping sets don't seem to match the functionality of those a couple of
years ago. The last couple of sets, Silver Champion, Super Car, Power Puller
seem to settle for the basic suspension, engine, steering combo. These don't
have the same impact as the shuttle, airtech claw rig or older pneumatic sets.
Now, I was never a buyer of those sets ( my upper limit was reached with the
purchase of the super car) and I like the Bionicle line for various reasons.
But what kind of functions/"gimmick"s are people interested in seeing in new
sets that haven't been done before? What vehicles come to mind as supports
for new functions? What mechanical activity is left that would make an
exciting set?
In other groups people seem to throw out lotsof ideas for new sets even if
lots of those notions are impractical. But i haven't heard much about Technic.
