Lost_In_Noise Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Ah, the figures. I thought I had a nearly complete collection, but that was not the case. I thought the Technic figures were only the ones in the packs released in the 90's, but now I've scoured Bricklink to find the rest. My wallet is gonna suffer greatly for this.... Some pics...

td8981 Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I don't care for the holes in their legs though. These as far as I know serve no purpose. Actually, when I was a kid (before the different action figure type sets like Throwbots and Bionicle) I used to use the holes to make the technic guys power armor type suits. Using the existing articulation points on the figure was the best way I ever found to build leg joints without using a ton of space. Quote
RohanBeckett Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 I have almost the complete collection, I need the tech011 and when it's completed I want to make a technic directory and upload new photos to BL and Brickset Heh.. ironic that that's the ONLY techfig that I've ever owned (I got it with the Polar Chopper, when I was about 11yrs old) I still have it, but it's in a very broken/loved/played with state I think my dad repaired the arm joint, at one time.. drilling a tiny hole, and inserting a small piece of wire, to strengthen it, alongside the loctite glue RB Quote
DLuders Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Maybe if TLG releases new Lego Technic Figures, they will come with "Power Suits" like the one Sparkytron (Dylan Mievis) made, as shown on Flickr and MOCpages: Quote
nychase Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 I think they are fantastic though. I tend to put them in ...interesting... positions on display in my office just for the humor. After seeing how this thread has developed I wanted to perhaps elaborate on my definition of the word "interesting" For a while I had the A-Model 8288 on display in my office. So what I did was recreate the classic Empire state building picture with the guys on the Iron Girders. The difference with my recreation is that because many of the figures have mustaches I decided to interpret them as...in love with each-other rather than just eating lunch(no pun intended). It typically was a riot for anyone who walked in and took the time to see what they were really doing. Then again depending on who I had coming in there were times that I cleaned up their poses.

parda Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 This one is so cool: T34-L Power Suit, a photo bySparkytron on Flickr. Quote
Darkdragon Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 This one is so cool: T34-L Power Suit, a photo bySparkytron on Flickr. That's wonderful. Makes me want to try building one. Quote
Meatman Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 Those suits are way cool! I don't think that I have ever owned any of those Technic figures. Quote
BasOne Posted May 6, 2012 Author Posted May 6, 2012 Those suits are way cool! I don't think that I have ever owned any of those Technic figures. Plenty to find on Bricklink, i just got some i didn't have like the cyborg They aren't even that expencive, so i'm gonna get more, and more, and more and want an army of technic men (yes stan, and women (kudo's for the one that get's that reference )) Quote
DLuders Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 On his Flickr photostream, Parda (Gabriel Riutort) posted this picture of "All my Technic Figures -- This is my double complete collection, my 3 original figures from my childhood, spares and lots of figures to my BL ^_^ ." Quote
sama Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I have never had a Technic figure so I do not know if I want them back. Are they cool? Quote
parda Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) If my work compromisses let me in a few days I will make more photos, documentation, and a kind of "technic fig. wiki" or "technicofigopedia" as a part of my future blog update. Also I will work on update and "debug" the photos and entries in the Bricklink catalog, if the admins of the site let me. And a Technic Army display in future Spanish events like "CatBrick2012" meanwhile some more photos of the inventory session: A panoramic: Another shot: In order for future listing: And the spares, beware of Dr. Long arms And this is all for the moment... EDIT: Wait!! This technician used to be boxing professional? Edited June 6, 2012 by parda Quote
sama Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Ah, fail! The printing is messed! The technician got beat up in the nose. Edited June 6, 2012 by sama Quote
LiamM32 Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I don't have any Technic figures, so I don't know for sure if I really like them. The reasons I can think of for being discontinued are; to make the Technic theme appear more "mature", because they're to expensive, or because they want to use a variety of scales in Technic sets. I'm not such a fan of large preassembled pieces, because of being expensive, specialized, and without the fun of building it. If they bring back Tehnic Figures, than I think that they should be in multiple pieces, probably about 15. I think that it might be fun to see a dummy swinging on the steering wheel, and they could add new functions such as seat belts. I don't think that all Technic sets should include them, especially Mini's. Quote
DarkShadow73 Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Interesting topic...I have but 1 figure, guess they just stopped making them, kind of a dumb move I thought, last set that I had 1 for was the 8248 Forklift... Quote
CisFran Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 hi parda, I know it's an old topic...but if you have a spare or two of technic figures for sale, I am interested...thanks! Quote
Lakop Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Wow... that's a lot of figs... I have around 10, and most of the artic kind... I had a few of these Got the scuba guy from the sub 8250, and some others.. Hahaha Awesome And the power suit is incredible. You sir are awesome I love this vehicle! I have about fourteen of the technic guys. I only ever got them in the three packs but missed out on the later models. I wish they would bring them back as I tend to make models (vehicles) based around them. H Quote
Ondra Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Lego need bring back some more playability in technic line and TF are great for this.I bought some very cheap(Quality like new) and this is my best deal I ever done in lego technic. Quote
Gene Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Can't wait for my 3 new figures to arrive. Interesting to have it pair with technic sets. I believe the main reason to cease production was due to different scale of technic sets.. Figures will not sell well if the seats are not up to scale right? Quote
Kierna Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Do the helmets go on over the hair, or does one take the hair off ala minifig? Quote
Philo Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 They go over the hair. Hairpiece is not supposed to be removable (not glued but there's a little plastic latch). Quote
parda Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 hi parda, I know it's an old topic...but if you have a spare or two of technic figures for sale, I am interested...thanks! I got lots on my Bricklink, and other stores too... Quote
CisFran Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I got lots on my Bricklink, and other stores too... nice! i'll check your store soon! Edited January 13, 2013 by francisalmario Quote
Chilly Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Oh ooh. I don't own any (yet), but as I have lots of the old instruction books that show them, I 've been thinking for a while that I should buy one. (Or two or more). Just looked at them on Bricklink, and don't like the blue ones, so looked at other colours. Seems like I like the most expensive ones - oops. Quote
