Review: LEGO Technic Crane MK II, 42009

June 18, 2014 Stuart

Who said Lego building sets are for kids? This Lego Technic crane set is great to build and looks fantastic on a shelf or desktop. Even, better, its motorized functions work pretty well too. Read More

Lego Technic Pick-Up Tow Truck

January 19, 2012 Stuart

In case you didn’t know, I’m a huge Lego fan, especially Lego Technics models, with the Supercar 8070 one of my strong favorites. A couple of new first-half 2012 (1H2012) Technic models were released this month, with the 9395 tow truck being particularly appealing. The Pick-Up Tow Truck features working steering, folding tow lift, working […]

Lego Fire Brigade 10197

October 5, 2011 Stuart

Lego’s Fire Brigade is the oldest of their current line of modular buildings. The model is built from 2231 pieces, and I’m told that the construction is challenging and highly enjoyable. The Fire Brigade features a 1930’s-style fire truck, 4 minifigures, a fire-dog (a Dalmatian would have been cooler), and tons of great details. The completed model […]

Lego Ball Machine Keeps Going and Going!

April 28, 2011 Stuart

There are some great mechanism ideas used in the 20 ball contraption modules. I’d have to say I’m most impressed with the freight train setup at about 3:35 into the video, and the crane at about 7:00.

The Supercar includes a Power Functions motor, although I cannot quite figure out exactly which functions it is used to control. I’m […]

New Lego Technic Construction Vehicles & Trucks

August 4, 2010 Stuart

I’ve been on a Lego Technic binge lately, and realized that a few new models were just released. Why the new fascination with Lego Technic? Because these sets feature relatively realistic looking models, and because the various studs and beams can be used to construct unique user-created models. Mobile Crane via Amazon Container Truck Motorized Excavator Motorbike Product […]

Lego Shuttle Adventure is Out of This World!

July 26, 2010 Stuart

Lego’s Shuttle Adventure is completely and utterly fantastic. NASA is expecting to formally end the space shuttle program in February 2011, so Lego sought to commemorate the even with this model. At 1204 pieces, I was able to put my the shuttle model together in two nights.
