LEGO Technic 42120 Rescue Hovercraft & 42121 Heavy-Duty Excavator

The German brand JB Spielwaren has put online the two LEGO Technic sets expected for March 1st and this is the opportunity to take a closer look at these two products already seen in the pages of the official catalog for the first half of 2021.

These boxes are 2-in-1 products with on one side, a hovercraft whose inventory will allow you to assemble a small twin-engine plane and on the other a set which offers to assemble an excavator or a crawler tractor.

It's no longer a secret, I have no affinity with the many construction machines in the LEGO Technic range and I will skip the excavator without regret, but the little hovercraft seems to me rather successful.

LEGO Technic 42117 Race Plane

Today we quickly go around the other small box under 10 € in the LEGO Technic range of the first half of 2021: the reference 42117 Race Plane. Like the set 42116 Skid Steer Loader, this small unpretentious box of 154 pieces is aimed at young fans who would like to gradually enter the LEGO Technic universe by discovering the potential of more or less complex elements and mechanisms that can be assembled.

This aircraft does a little worse than the skid steer loader on the side of the integrated functions, but it still allows you to learn some basic principles that will allow budding designers to move on to more sophisticated products.

It is therefore a question here of discovering how the wheels of the aircraft can cause the movement of the propeller, and the designer even thought of authorizing the observation of part of the mechanism via the two mobile elements of the cabin.

Some will immediately associate the machine with those who are competing in the very spectacular Red Bull Air Race and we could have imagined that LEGO would add two studs in the set to offer some fun aerobatic possibilities. A second box on the same subject with an airplane in different colors would also have added the possibility of having fun together and going beyond the construction of the airplane.

In short, even if adults accustomed to the LEGO Technic range are clearly not the target of this product with limited functionality, do not neglect this type of set when it comes to initiating a young fan more used to stacking bricks. than to associate gears with each other.

These small boxes are quickly assembled and a newcomer to the Technic universe will not have time to get bored or to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the thing. The result obtained is visually very successful and it offers rewarding play possibilities for those who have just spent a few minutes trying to understand how the propeller sets in motion.

The contents of the set allow to assemble an alternative model, which I find visually a little less successful. This is always taken for the life of the product, we will not complain.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at 4th January 2021 next at 23pm. "The" I try, I participate "are automatically deleted, make an effort.

Update : The winner was drawn and was notified by email, his nickname is indicated below. Without a response from him to my request for contact details within 5 days, a new winner will be drawn.
