Indeed. I spent a few weeks over the summer building this:

I'd love some LEGO Technics and I was born before the stuff was invented.

I got back into Technics in recent years. I am not as keen about the 'studless' pieces, versus the 'studded' pieces. Its quite a change, but I do find a well built model to be a bit sturdier, than a studded version. I do a bit of Mindstorms(NXT) as well which I pretty much refer to Technic in my head. It is a wee bit more hi-tech but most of the pieces are compatible, plus I got into coding since I first played with technics over 10 years ago, so I get to experiment a bit with that.

I still have all my old sets from when I was a kid, my very first set was 851 from around 1980. I used Bricklink 2 years ago to restore all my sets and replace all the missing/damaged parts. Best thing I ever did! and I've bought a couple of the new sets as well which are amazing (8421 crane and 8275 bulldozer). I'm well into my 40's now and still love wandering around Smyths looking at the latest Technic sets. I must reassemble the old sets again and take a few photos.

Just seen another lego thread and got reminded of this one.

Actually got some Lego Technic and Lego City last Christmas morning. Okay, fair enough, it was some incomplete parts of three seperate Technic models, and a nearly complete Lego City all in one box, that my mum discovered in Grans loft, that had been given to me many moons ago, but I was litterlly like a child again that morning. Spent the next two days putting them all back together then, bar the third model due to missisng bit, even the second model had some doner parts so it could be finished.
