Hey all,
I remember seeing this set on the shelves when it was new, but never bought
one since I wasn't a big Technic fan (I'm getting there though!). Picked it
up MISB for $35 at a local toy consignment shop. I haven't looked at the
CD-ROM yet.
Some quick comments on the model:
I would have liked a few more pieces to flesh out the shape of the sub, but
the piece selection is still great, especially four corridor-system walls
and four 2x4x4 half-cylinders in yellow! Woohoo! I had never played with
Pnuematics before and it's a great function. The minisub and drill add-on
are also cool features.
What surprised me most was the mask, airtank, and flippers for the Technic
'fig. These pieces are great and I wish TLG would do more of this. Have
these pieces appeared anywhere else? I can't recall many Technic sets where
the 'fig had an outfit accessory other than a helmet. I remember that TLG
once took a stab at a "model-with-figure-playset" approach to Technic sets,
and one of them (can't find it on Lugnet but know it's there) was a sort of
mountain patrol vehicle and one of the 'figs had skis. It's cool that they
had their own accessories, kind of like a little GI Joe in Lego. The
airtank and mask are terrific and I'd like to see more!
For instance, they could do Space-themed Technic sets with a new helmet with
a hose attachment. *khhhhhh pahhhhh* "I'm in a giant chamber, filled with
leathery objects. They look like eggs or something!"
