The latest LEGO® Technic sets are now available and they include some pretty cool new sets. In particular the epic Power Function infused Rough Terrain Crane and the incredible concept Volvo Wheel Loader. I’m busily building each set for review right now and can already say the Volvo ZEUX is outstanding. The more I build Technic sets the more I love them. They are a completely different build experience to LEGO system sets and these new sets are some of the most impressive yet. So ahead of my reviews of each of them, you can find these new sets in stores and online right now.
