Ronald Vallenduuk: "Never knew about this set until a recent discussion in lugnet.news. I'm convinced now!"
Jim Gasser: "Most challenging build I've had in a long time. Lots of functionality, looks pretty darn spiffy too."
Ronan Webb: "Nice build - but not one for the kids. Pneumatics are easy enough if you are patient; motor driven pneumatics are unique - would like more like this, Lego Co.! Ah well ... Must-have for Technic fans."
Bob Doolittle: "Great set - pneumatics are unique and interesting"
Steve Hickman: "Wow"

Andy Blake: "gobsmacking, I grinned like a mad fool when I got one"
Dave Church: "Loads packed into a Big build. (white bricks have faded to yellow now)"
Stéphane Simard: "Along with the 8480 shuttle, the one set I use to impress people who aren't Lego fans. MY FAVORITE SET of all time. Whoever rated this 5/10 is an idiot :-)"
Stfan Muramaa: "Mine is in bits =0( really must get myself into gear so I can build it once more. Set is really impressive when working & alternate model is fun too =0)"
Mark R. Nash: "Huge set! so much to do and play with."
Collin Patrick Sale: "I love it, but I need new rubberbands ;)"
Albert Dudley: "I put it together. Thus far this set and the 8480 (Shuttle)) were fun, but it became work. I no longer have this set."
Stefan Gustavson: "This set got me hooked on Lego again at age 27. It is still my favorite Technic set so far. The electric pump works wonders for pneumatics."

Robert Hampton: "Best Technic set, ever!"
Richard Kloosterboer: "bought in 1993 whilst being on the dole in Holland. Had to have something to do, right??? Awesome set, its got it all."
