“All in all, this is a nice little set, i really love the color and the fact that the designer of the set included some nice details on it: hood scoop, winch, exhaust pipes, roof lights. This is clearly a model for those who want a pull-back motor because, lets be honest, the... More price is a little steep for the piece count.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Desert Racer set 42027 was released on May 27, 2014, retailing for $20, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $40, while used sets sell around $9.
