When I used to build them, they were still called "Expert Builder" I think. Before I got the Star Wars Destroyer Droid last year, the biggest, newest, most advanced set I had was 8040, the first pneumatic universal set. For a long time, I have been searching for a good Technic set on the scale of the Destroyer but not a Star Wars droid, because, let's face it, as cool as the Destroyer is, what can you build with it besides a Destroyer droid? At any rate, after searching long and nearly giving up, believing that the Lego Technic line had been completely taken over by Droids and Throwbots and things of that sort, I found, on clearance at the website of a major discount retailer, the Silver Champion.
The temptation, as I review this, is to compare this model to the 8448 Supercar, which is actually a smaller set by 5 pieces. Unfortunately, I have never had the priviledge of building that set, so I cannot make a good comparison. However, based on my own research it would seem that this set is about the same size as 8448, but slightly less featured. From an objective standpoint, this is a pretty nice model. It is very large, over 24 inches in length and 11 inches wide. The construction is satisfyingly intricate. The instruction manual is over 120 pages long. There are two alternate models: the imaginitively named "Silver Truck", which has its own 130+ page instruction booklet, and the "Street Sensation", which is basically a variant body design on the same chassis. Here is a description the features of the main model: This set's alternate model, Silver Truck, is a viable stand-alone model in its own right. It is more compact and therefore less impressive than the main model, but uses about 80 percent of the pieces and is equally complex.
It shares pretty much all of the features of the main model except that it uses a more normal suspension in place of the pushrod suspension of the main model. Also, in place of a raising motor hood, the Silver Truck has a cab assembly that tilts forward when you pull a catch release. I am not sure what the point of this is, since the engine is behind the cab and not under it, but the mechanism is very cool. Another feature that the alternate model has which the main model lacks is that it is set up to be motorized with the addition of a Technic motor and includes instructions. This alternate model loses points for using elastics (they break down over time) and using decals. That would be bad enough, but in some places it uses different decals from the main model, meaning you need to peel one set off and stick another on. The set overall gets big points, however, for including parts (decals, elastics, steering wheel, and I think an extra gear) for the alternate model which aren't used in the main model.
This set does have a few drawbacks which keep it from being a "five". It loses points for featuring a driver in the box photo but not including such a figure in the set. Not that a driver would have added much, but I think they ought to be more responsible than that in packaging and advertisement. The steering is a little rough, as I mentioned above. The set has decals and I don't care for decals that you have to put over more than one piece, since they rarely survive disassembly. Having said that, the decals look really good. An overall gripe is that I might have hoped for a little less "looking cool" and a little more "working cool". Just a little, though. Another gripe is the second alternate model. There are no printed instructions in the set, but they are available at Lego's web site. I downloaded the software, downloaded Shockwave so that I could run the software, downloaded all the instructions, and when that was all done I saw that the alternate was basically a variant body design on the same chassis.
