Review of Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer set 8063

August 21st, 2009

An excellent review on the Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer has been added to the Eurobricks forum by the user known as Blakbird. Blakbird was also the creator of the Technic Wheel Loader mentioned elsewhere.

The review contains many photos of the tractor and a few of the trailer. It can be found in the Lego Technic section of Eurobricks forum here.

From the review it's more than apparent that the tractor model is virtually the same as the previous Technic Tractor (set 8284). There's a few minor changes including newer shaped body panels around the motor, and a slightly different 3-point linkage on the rear. Apart from that their identical.

The trailer contains 13 of the new 1x5x11 body panels (part 64782) and one new Linear Actuator (part 61927c01). Apart from those parts there's nothing else in the set that's new.

It has been mentioned that this Tractor and Trailer set may be a special set exclusive to Toys R Us as they're currently the only ones selling it.

Review of Lego Technic Crane Truck – Set 8258

July 27th, 2009

The first detailed review of the Lego Technic Crane Truck has appeared - although sadly it's written in French!

http://www.setechnic.com/review-lego-technic-8258.html

Google Translated pages - Not 100% accurate, but enough for you to get the gist of the review

The review is split in 7 sections

My Opinion

Video

From the YouTube video of the model we can see a good overview of how it works.

My first impression is that the stabiliser legs look very flimsy. On previous crane models the legs have actually raised the model of the ground. There appears to be a lot of "play" in in the crane boom. It would have been good to motorise the winch in some way, and to maybe have a motorised extension of the boom. Rather disappointed that the crane arm doesn't extend much beyond the base of the model.

So will I be buying it? I'll probably wait till it's available from Amazon and buy it as part of a bigger order.

First Lego Product Recall? Power Functions IP Speed Remote Control Recalled

July 22nd, 2009

Lego today announced a product recall on the Lego Power Functions IR Speed remote control unit (set 8879). It seems the battery's may over heat and cause a "burn hazard". The recall covers controllers bought between April 2009 and May 2009 and is through to only affect around 1,000 units.

At this stage only 4 of them have been reported to overheat but Lego has announced a voluntary product recall.

The only way to purchase this part has been direct from Lego - as such lego knows who's bought all the controllers. Lego will be contacting all owners directly in the next few days in order to exchange the part for a new one.

More information on how to contact lego can be found here
