THE LEGO TECHNIC STORY
In 1977 a team of designers working at LEGO had a vision. They have been dreaming of bigger and more technically advanced LEGO models. For that to happen they needed a new building system. They came up with a system that offered a completely different building experience that included axles, gears, beams, and connectors. Pneumatics and motors have been introduced soon after. They introduced it as the Expert Builder Series in 1977 and called it Technical Sets. It was renamed Technic in 1982. For over 40 years LEGO Technic has been challenging builders with amazing models from race cars, planes, cranes to incredible machines. LEGO Technic provides endless challenges for experienced LEGO builders. Start building advanced, real-life functions like gearboxes and steering systems and have endless hours of fun!
