LEGO Technic

What is LEGO Technic?

LEGO Technic is a subset of LEGO building blocks. Aimed at older children and even adults, the sets typically include pieces to build vehicles of all kinds with intricate details and functioning parts like gearboxes, wheels, and axles. Some even work with a companion mobile app for remote control, lights, and sounds once fully built.

There are around 40 different sets to choose from, starting at ones for ages 9 and up; some are designed for kids and adults aged 16 and older due to complexity. Pieces range from as few as 500 to as many as almost 4,000.

Sets include intricate details you can interact with, like a hood that opens to show the engine, a door that opens to showcase the lifelike interior, and working parts like a steering wheel and moving pistons in the engine. The idea behind LEGO Technic is to foster a passion for engineering.

What types of LEGO Technic sets are available?

LEGO Technic sets typically consist of vehicles of different kids. These include luxury cars, with specific aspirational models like a McLaren, Formula E Porsche, Lamborghini Sian, Ford Mustang, Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 911, BMX bike, and Mercedes Benz. There are also generic vehicle sets, like an all-terrain, airbus rescue helicopter, material handler, forest machine, and bucket wheel excavator.

For those with different interests, you’ll find specialty sets like the Batmobile and a transformational vehicle that can transform from one type to another. As noted, some sets work with a mobile app for remote control and even, in some cases, doing stunts like flips. With some, you can compete with friends in challenges and share your builds.

The Batmobile even has spinning flames for a realistic experience, while others contain special pieces, like light bricks.

What is the best LEGO Technic set?

All LEGO Technic sets help you understand how vehicles work and propel forward, ranging from cars to planes, motorbikes, and even construction vehicles. The best LEGO Technic set will be one of a vehicle you appreciate and like, whether it’s from a specific car manufacturer or of a specific type.

LEGO Technic cars are ideal as collectibles, typically purchased to put together and leave out on display. They are geared towards car enthusiasts thanks to the authentic details, intricate pieces, and lifelike final products. They would make great gifts for advanced builders who also happen to love cars.

While LEGO Technic Canada sets will appeal to adults, older children who want to learn more about cars and take their LEGO building skills to the next level will appreciate them, too.
