“The Warthog from the Lego Technic series is a model which is difficult to categorise. On the one hand, it’s a car, on the other a plane. What’s unusual about it is that the top part (meaning the aeroplane) can be disconnected from the rest of the vehicle. Obviously, it’s not... More realistic at all, but it’s a funny little model.”

“The 8229 Tread Trekker is a very unusual convertible vehicle, not necessarily based on anything real. The upper part of the vehicle detaches from the base and becomes what appears to be a boat. Though the topic is unique, this Tech Play set is pretty simple and offers... More limited functionality but a good selection of the new parts.”

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 Tread Trekker set 8229 was released in January 1997, retailing for $22, but has since been retired. New, unopened Tread Trekker sets are valued at $49, while used sets can be found for $21 in good condition.
