I totally agree with you, I am 41, single (but I always keep the small kids away if any comes for choking hazards) and I am a CPA working with almost 100 clients... In my “brain-washing/cooling” time, I buy a LEGO Technic kit and even sometimes I buy two of the same to assemble two different models of the same kit, without dissassembling the other... That’s “love”. I always applaud LEGO for the adults themselves to have a wonderful time, especially with Technic... In my opinion, Technic is the only “3D Assembly toy concept” in the world, which make adults have real fun, brain-work and relaxation with patience... Best Regards, Idris PS: No person can vanish the love for LEGO Technic!

Dear TechnicRCRacer, I believe it does for kids, ranging from one age to other, because LEGO uses professionals for their toys. For example, there can be no choking hazard for kids being more than 5-7 years old... For Technic, I again underline that there should be a lower age limit but over that, in my opinion is useless because the love for LEGO should not be limited, what’s more people, say 50 years old should not feel as a “retard” by others if the box says the toy is for kids between; say, 11-16 years of age... In my view this statement pushes the thought that a 25-year old young lady or a 60-year old gentleman would be seen “weird”, if they buy and assembly a Technic, by others... I love Technic and I will buy the Mack Truck tomorrow and I am 41 years-old, I am well over 16 and I do not have a “choking hazard risk”, lol... Best Regards, Idris Lol! Beautiful message! Many thanks!

Dear dr_spock, I do not think there is anything to ignore at my risk if I am over the lower-age-limit as given to LEGO by pedagogs and psychologists etc. I think there can be no liabilities ever to LEGO, especially for Technic for people well over the age of 40-50-60 and up to 150 (God knows) to even rehabilitate or entertain their minds thus “brain joy” Best Regards, Idris

Many thanks for answering me, let me kindly send you a photo and kindly please tell me what you think

Hello All! I am sure this topic was created before but I couldn’t find it. As LEGO Technic creates the finest and toughest mostly moving and functional and coolest “3D assembly systems” in the World for 42 years, I firmly think that the upper age limit should not exist. Yes, a lower age limit is needed, but an upper age limit, “limits” the love for LEGO Technic. Many times, I’m sure, many people having twice or three or four or even five times the upper age limit written on boxes of LEGO Technic, want/need/like/love to make one, at least to “clear their minds”. But this upper age limit as afore-said, in my opinion, creates a limit for the LEGO Technic lover. Therefore I kindly suggest you put a lower age limit but a “infinite symbol” or a “?” for the upper age limit for those wonderful creations when Technic is the issue. Best Regards, Idris

Hi Everyone, My problem is that the 42070 tow truck does EVERYTHING, except going backwards and forwards and the cylinder movements. The crane works in everyway, the front wheels move left and right, the “legs” work, without power, the truck moves perfectly, but it does not move backwards and forewards with the motor, only. After assembly, I am left with a red cogwheel ( code 6100930 ) and a small yellow one ( code 4565452 ). Of course I am sure I did something wrong but where do you think I did it? By the way, the large motor is only connected with a yellow shaft just after connection until the first grey differential discs. So there is no connection with the upper part (going to the cylinders and mill) and the main system below. I disassembled partly and put a grey cogwheel in between but it only moved the cylinders ( then I saw it was needed afterwards). So could you kindly please help me solve this cogwheel issue by providing some images, videos, references, drawings? Thank you in advance and, Best Regards, Idris
