Hi everyone! I am new here and have just come out of a 16 month hiatus and am getting back into Lego and especially the Technic theme.
I am really looking forward to this new set as I just love cars and trucks and their internal mechanics. However there are a few Pros and Cons that I would like to point out that I have observed.
Pros
_____
Great looking body style
Love the scissor/butterfly doors! A first for Lego technic
Full suspension! Something the Ferrari Enzo and Fiorano were lacking
This is kind of a Pro and a Con, but since it is something new, I'll leave it in the Pro section
The motorized functions, Doors opening/Hood opening/Rear Spoiler thing are a welcome addition, but also kind of boring.
Cons
_____
Why is it that most recent technic vehicles do not have a functional steering wheel inside of the car?
While the rear spoiler on the car is neat how it slides under the rear panels, it looks very strange when extended. in the picture as it just kind of hanging outwards. Doesn't appear very realistic.
The seats look really small and forced into the car.
Stickers!!! Ugh!!! Is it me or does there appear to be a fuel cap on the sticker on each side of the rear panels?
Another RED car?!?!
Regardless, this set is a must buy just to see what kind of cool building techniques that the designers used to make everything work and it will certainly make a great addition to my collection.
@TechnicJuan: Thanks for the link to that AFOL site. He has some really amazing cars there! I watched the video for his supercar and it was very impressive both in appearance and functions. The guy definitely has talent.
