I really dislike the modern Lego Technic, I say that as someone who both loves Lego and loved playing with Technic as a kid - I've still got my old sets. In fact I lucked in marrying someone half Danish, I now have family who work at Lego
Old Lego Technic was the same as 'normal' Lego but with holes in the middle and little gears etc. The new stuff has loads of 'unique pieces' that only fit that particular model, meaning it's neither Lego nor a very good model!
Shame really, 'cause I'm exactly the sort of nerdy techy person who'd buy a £350 kit otherwise.
I like it. The kids bought me the Apollo 11/Saturn V kit a few years and I got a bit hooked.
My favourite so far has been the LR Defender. I've managed to resist the bugatti and lambo so far though.
With being limited production runs the stuff doesn't lose it's value. There was a Lego Osprey kit released last year, which was about £100. Lego then withdrew it as they didn't realise it was also a military plane (lego don't do military stuff). They are now changing hands for silly money, although the price below is a bit optimistic.
