After 20 years without Lego this set was my re entry in the world of Technic. Looking for presents for my kids this set caught my eye several times. As a kid I was a Lego nerd and spend hours and hours playing with my Technic sets (mainly the 85x series). I just wondered if I would still like it.... And I was also curious to see if Lego had evolved much in 20 years.
And the answers are YES and YES! YES, I still like it and YES, the Lego from today is not like the bricks from my childhood. To be honest, I expected the new parts to be less challenging than the old Technic. In in some respect they are. Nowadays almost every imaginable shape exist while in the old days you had to figure it all out by yourself. But on the other hand, the top set of my childhood, the 8860, had 662 parts and this one has twice as much... And all the new parts make al lot more possible... At this moment I am far from getting used to all the new parts, in fact I was glad the dozer also had some good old fashioned studded beams... At least one part I recognised!
The build took me a fair few hours, also because the bags were not numbered. I think the instructions have become better too. More step by step than in the 70-s. The powerfunctions are definitly better. I remember the old 4,5V motor as being not too powerfull and with an axle that broke of several times. The new engines are powerfull and sturdy.
When finished you end up with a bit yellow monster. A LOT bigger than the 951 I also have. And riding it around with the remote is fun. Although the tracks do not have that much grip on a wooden floor. My 2,5 year old daughter also likes to ride it around!
All in all a very nice set and it got me hooked on (Technic) Lego again. I am now making al my old boxes complete (a lot of bricks got stepped on or vacumed up...) and rebuilding the old models. And that is big fun! I also ordered the fire truck (8289) as another modern set....
