Review of Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer set 8063

August 21st, 2009

lego-technic-tractor-trailer-set-8063-buildAn 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.

Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer (set 8063) Listed on Toys-R-Us website

lego-technic-tractor-trailer-set-8063-boxAlthough previously mentioning that the Lego Technic Tractor and Trailer set appeared to have been posponed to 2010, the set has appeared on the Toys-R-Us uk website.  It's currently listed as out of stock, but they must have had stock, or are expecting it soon. Price will be £89.99 which makes it £20 more expensive than the Wheel Loader (set 8265).

Review of Lego Technic Crane Truck – Set 8258

July 27th, 2009

8258-03The 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

  • Information
  • Design
  • Features
  • Content
  • My Opinion
  • Photos
  • 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.

New Parts and set Inventory from the Crane Truck (set 8258)

July 9th, 2009

The Technic Lego Crane Truck (set 8258) parts inventory has been added to Peeron here.  There's also new high resolution images of the front, inside and back of the box.

Amongst the new set are 5 new parts which are detailed below.  There's also 9 new Lego Technic panels but I'm not too interested in them.  If you are, they can be found on the set inventory.

641781

Technic Beam 5 x 11 with Open Centre 3 x 7 (part 64178)

This part forms part of the inner structure of the truck and gives it rigidity

Given the layout of the axle holes it would have been impossible to build this out of existing parts

641791

Technic Beam 5 x 7 with Open Centre 3 x 5 (part 64179)

Again this part forms part of the inner structure of the truck and gives it rigidity.
866521

Technic Wheel 62.4 x 20 S Type II with Short Axle hole (Part 86652)

This is exactly the same as existing wheel 32020 but has a shorter axle hole.  Who knows why they've changed it ever so slightly.
638693

Technic Axle Joiner Triple (part 63869)
647811

Technic Gear Rack 1 x 13 with holes and axle holes (part 647811)

This is a very odd part with it's holes going in one direction and axle holes at 90 degrees.
