42156: PEUGEOT 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar Review
This weekend will see the legendary Le Mans 24 race take place. The ultimate endurance race is also celebrating its 100th anniversary. It began as a way for car makers to showcase their cars but soon saw them create vehicles solely for the purpose of competing in the annual race. One such vehicle is the 9X8 Hybrid Hypercar from Peugeot. This sleek-looking car has also inspired a brand-new LEGO Technic. So as the real car takes to the...
42127: The Batman Batmobile Technic Set Review
Iconic movie vehicles are commonplace in the LEGO® for Adults or Creator Expert theme. Plenty of famous brands have lent their names to various Technic builds. But the two haven’t really combined until the Fast & Furious set. This was one of the first Technic vehicles to be inspired by the movie world as opposed to the real world cars or construction vehicles. From the feedback I’ve seen, Dom’s Dodge Charger...
42128: Heavy-duty Tow Truck Technic Set Review
Way back in the 80s when music was epic and fashion was questionable, my LEGO® journey began with pre-built Christmas Day classics such as the 6080: Castle or 6392: Airport. Along with my favourite set as a kid is 6482: Light & Sound Rescue Helicopter. A few years after this I was given my first ever Technic set, one I still have. That set was 8837: Pneumatic Excavator and it was powered by pneumatic pumps. Back then it was...
42129: 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Zetros Trial Truck Review
This summer there are two new flagship sets joining the LEGO® Technic line-up. One includes the latest tech in the form of the Control+, whilst the other employs the classic power of air. Now it’s been a while since I’ve built a Technic set but I’ve had the opportunity to build them both, so I decided to tackle the Mercedes-Benz Truck first. Technic builds are vastly different compared to your average LEGO set. So...
42124: Technic Off-Road Buggy Set Review
I recently shared a survey from the LEGO® Technic Design Team and of course, I filled it in myself. One of the questions was focused on the new Control+ powered system. This got me thinking, I’ve not actually had any experience of this generation of powered LEGO play. I’ve dabbled with Power Functions and it’s System-based replacement dubbed Powered UP. Control+ is the Technic equivalent and has been used in a couple...
42107: LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale Set Review
Over the last few years, the LEGO Group has been working closely with an increasing number of well-known automotive brands to recreate iconic vehicles with LEGO® elements. One of the most recent partnerships is with Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. Which has lead to the release of a new LEGO Technic set based on the Ducati Panigale V4 R. This sleek sports bike, the first large scale production V4 engine street bike and one of...
42102: LEGO Technic Mini CLAAS XERION Set Review
Back in 2016, LEGO® partnered with German agricultural machinery manufacturer CLAAS to recreate their XERION tractor as a Power Function LEGO Technic fuelled set. Although that set has long been retired, it has inspired another LEGO Technic set. However this one is a little on the smaller side. The CLAAS tractor is known for their unique green livery, tinged with streaks of red and white. All of these have been capture in the smaller...
