Lego blocks might be considered toys, but believe me, the Technic series is a toy for grown-up and very patient boys only. It is by no means easy to construct a functioning model from thousands of small blocks, especially that each of them includes some automated parts such as electric motors or pneumatic pieces which have to be put together too. There are gears, axles, pins and beams involved, and if you don’t put them together in exactly the right way, your toy will not work properly.
As a representative of a female species I may not salivate at the prospect of putting together a tractor with log loader, telehandler or excavator, but I’m a witness who can testify that it does work on the male part of the human race. So here we have a new creative hobby – with the proven track record of attracting men, even though I’m sure there are women out there who can “out-build” any male Technic fan. Take a look at the movie and pictures below, and who knows, maybe you’ll feel a sudden urge to build a yellow bulldozer?
