I had my Dad’s set as a young teen (I think it was from the 50s) and like another commenter said they were fiddle especially to take apart. You can build some impressive stuff with it but it gets tedious after a while. Some of the sets a hilarious by today’s standards, I remember one set of instructions was to make an automatic match dispenser/striker.
Lego technic is a better toy.
- rawling 4y agoCan you still get Technic kits to build machinery? All I seem to be able to find now is replica vehicles, albeit some still seem to have pneumatic parts.
- johnwalkr 4y agoI think you're right. They seem to have less useful-for-tinkering pieces and more aesthetic but less useful pieces now.
- morelisp 4y agoWow, this is more depressing to me than any of the worries around licensed sets. Most of the available sets don't even have any gearing. 42144 looks nice, but I swear I paid at most 2/3 that for 42121 ca. 2013.
- nuancebydefault 4y agoEvery set seems to have some unique pieces, which seems to go against the thought of building other or new models with combined kits, since those unique pieces are hard to integrate. For some reason, kids today just tend to like build-and-forget rather than create/build. It might as well be similar to assembling Playmobil.
