And after a brief interlude, we have another blue Technic car.
I actually pulled this one out this summer to past on to my son at Christmas
Huwbot likes vehicles these days, doesn't he? Dang!
I know we can do a million different things with the new system but... for me this was Technic at its best.
^^3rd Technic set in the last 4 days too.
Man, there must have been a dozen of these little Technic go-karts. I have at least three of them (8832, 8815, 8207). They didn't change much over a 20 year span.
Good set.
Dang, this is a nice little set. Just wish we could’ve gotten some more dang Western.
The only technic set that year? Have we had any random sets before that were the only ones of their kind for the year?
Nice! It's just the perfect little set. So elegant. It is the oldest Technic set that I find aesthetically pretty.
Still one of my favourite sets, I have it sitting in a glass cabinet here. It forms a nice pair with the 8815 Speedway Bandit.
This is the only Technic set I had as a kid. It stayed built on my shelf way longer than I was actually interested in Lego... I recently bought it again, so it's back on the shelf (a different one, obviously).
