A polybag forklift that costs more than it should and does less than it looks — Technic deserves better than this.
The parts alone are worth about 75% of the street price — the basis for this D price read.
FairParts are worth about 75% of the price — close to what the set is worth.
The Forklift with Pallet is Technic in its most forgettable form: a small, functional-ish model that doesn't build anything exciting, display anything beautiful, or justify what they're asking for it. Seventy-eight pieces gets you a compact little machine with working forks, which sounds fine until you're done in fifteen minutes wondering what just happened. The polybag format keeps expectations low, but the price manages to undercut even those. There's no minifig, no standout technique, no shelf moment — just a warehouse vehicle that feels more like a parts grab than a set worth hunting. A D overall isn't harsh; it's just where this lands.
