LEGO's Technic line gives kids of all ages( including us) the ability to create more advanced models than the standard LEGO blocks. LEGO has now teamed with Mercedes-Benz to create a Technic model based on the multi-purpose Unimog U 400 truck, which Mercedes calls "the world's most versatile workhorse." Over 2000 parts, the 1:12 scale "Universal-Motor-Geräts (tool)" model will be the largest LEGO Technic model ever released.
The Technic model got crane gripper arm that can rotate almost 360 degrees via an electrically controlled turntable, and a front winch that can be converted into a snow plow. Designed in cooperation with Mercedes, the model is accurate down to the engine pistons, portal axles and individual suspension that deadens jolts when taking the four-wheel drive vehicle off-road. Neat huh? Should be available in August and the price will be £190, which is about 275bucks.
