There’s an opening hood allowing the builder to check out the ‘junk in the trunk’, which is a nice little addition and the use of the trans-light blue elements for the front headlamps is an aesthetically pleasing choice. The body work in places feels like one solid unit rather than a number of sub assemblies. It looks powerful, mean and muscly, perfect for this style of car. The angles created at the front look excellent. The Corvette used a more traditional gear system, whereas here the steering is taking care of by a regular CV-joint.ĭespite coming together fairly quickly the build is very enjoyable and the overall look is brilliant. It shares similar shaping but there are a few different techniques at play, most notably the steering. Its a very sleek looking thing that bears more than a passing resemblance to the 42093 Corvette ZR1, which was released back in January of this year. It certainly makes for a much more manageable and enjoyable experience than some of the other large Technic sets released this year.įirst on the building agenda is the American muscle car. Thankfully, every bag is numbered and the entire build can be undertaken in small steps rather than tackling everything at once. The box is absolutely gigantic and the manual is a whopping 544 pages long. Initially this could be a completely overwhelming set for all but the most die hard and dedicated Technic fans. ![]() An azure blue American muscle style car, front cabin and trailer and the entire rear section all feel very different in their construction yet go together to form an absolutely fantastic Technic set. Consisting of 2,493 pieces this set is almost like three builds in one. That is up until now with the release of an automotive behemoth, that just happens to be the LEGO Group’s largest vehicle ever (by length), Technic 42098 Car Transporter. If there is one thing– and there are many – that LEGO Technic does well it is cars, but up until now fans have had no way to transport their fleet around, expect for laborious moving them one by one to a new destination.
