This marvelous crane, was first released in 1995. This huge model is absolutely packed with functions. It does pretty well everything you would expect a real mobile crane to do. It has 4 wheel steering with a 6 wheel chassis. There are 4 outriggers which can actually lift the model. A pair of pneumatic actuators in series lift the boom which can then telescope with a crank. The hoist employs a ratcheting mechanism. A crank on the back slews the superstructure 360 degrees which is possible because all of the pneumatics including the pump are above the turntable. When fully deployed, the reach of this model is truly extraordinary; 69 studs!

The 8430 is a re-release of 8417 Mag Wheel Master and was back then the first attempt at a sport bike in the Technic line. The title of this set gives us a clue that the special wheels of this set may have been designed specifically for it, with sets 8428 - Turbo Command and 8462 - Tow Truck getting them just because they had already been made. In any case, no other sets ever used these wheels or tires, and the front narrow tire in particular is unique to this set. However, there were two more chances to get because this set was released before in 1998 as 8417 - Mag Wheel Master.
Like the other Tech Build sets this year, this model uses the new wheels and is blue with turquoise seats. Also like the others it makes heavy use of flexible tubes and ribbed hoses as styling elements. Like previous motorcycles, it uses a lot of non-square angles by pinning the frame together. This model does not have front suspension, but the rear suspension is an interesting type with an arm on only one side.

This small helicopter, a re-release from set 8812 from 1994, was one of the smallest to date. It features rotating main and tail rotors. The canopy is constructed from semi-rigid pneumatic tubing. 1994 was the first year that pneumatic tubing was used as a design element, and this in one of two models in which this was done that year.
A lovely little turbine part from the System line gives the engine a nice aesthetic touch.
This set was first released in 1994 as 8812 - Aero Hawk II.

Initially I was a bit surprised to see Starwars figures as technic sets and not really convinced that these should be in this theme. However reading about the heritage and the purpose of Jango Fett it fits just fine, being a template for the clone army, which is a key character of Lego figures. You can multiply them as much as you need to. A bit of history of this character:
Jango Fett emerges as a pivotal figure in "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones," renowned across the galaxy for his unmatched prowess as a bounty hunter. His tale weaves through the fabric of the Star Wars saga, blending the lines between hero and antagonist. Selected by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, also known as Count Dooku, Fett's genetic code becomes the foundation for the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers. This grand army, originally commissioned by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, becomes entangled in the Sith's intricate scheme to dominate the galaxy.
