LEGO? TECHNIC
New products for 2009 test the construction skills of the true LEGO builder!
LEGO is pleased to announce brand new 2009 products to compliment the TECHNIC range. With all product designs based around authentic models and realistic functions, it is the ultimate building and construction test for any dedicated fan of the LEGO brick.
LEGO TECHNIC designs are based upon authenticity - containing all the relevant and realistic functionalities from real world models while providing a challenging building experience for those that consider themselves LEGO Pro?s. To ensure a true challenge, all products have instructions included for an alternative model (or a B model) to double the build satisfaction. B models for relevant items can be downloaded from lego.com.
The Go-Kart has true working front steering and pistons that move up and down when the Go-Kart moves - the Go-Kart can also be rebuilt into a ride-on Lawn Mower. The Mini Bulldozer is a quick build and the same bricks can be rebuilt into a Mini Excavator. The bucket on the front-loading Mini Tractor tips and the front end is raised and lowered using the control knob at the back. This model rebuilds into an ultimately cool mini Chopper-style motorcycle.
The Rally Truck is versatile, with its tilting front suspension system, springy rear suspension and a working front steering wheel - it rebuilds into a Truck Cab. The Quad Bike uses fully independent four-wheel suspension, moving pistons and working front wheel steering - it converts into a rugged Dune Buggy. The Hauler has real motorised power functions (motorisation box is included), tipping trailer bed, working articulated steering, independent rear suspension and opening engine cover - it rebuilds into a Flatbed Truck.
