To be totally honest I don't get the whole hype about the new technic sets
(the two off-road cars). I mean, what's so great about them? First of all
they're cars: by now the most boring kind of set as everything's been done
over and over again.
They -or at least the big one- will be 4x4: 4 wheel drive and suspension,
and steering on 2 wheels. Oh, and it'll have a gearbox. Anything we haven't
seen on 8880?
As for the rest of the set: big wheels. So? V8 engine. Again? The chassis
looks like a bunch of regular beams (at least that's a relief) but the rest
is all panels and tubes.
Looking at the front view of 8465 I get this terrible feeling we're gonna
get yet another steering system with specialised parts, which isn't
something that makes me cheer....
All in all not a very inspiring effort by TLG.
I'll be waiting for the next round of re-releases and the first technic
Legends...
