LEGO's shift towards adult-focused sets has blurred the lines between classic LEGO bricks and LEGO Technic, the system of rods, beams, pins, and gears used to create intricate mechanisms. Now, they often complement each other; Technic provides the robust internal structure, while bricks create the aesthetically pleasing exterior. This reflects LEGO's ambition to build larger, more complex models, requiring a strong internal framework for stability. It's also introduced many LEGO fans to a new level of building techniques. If you're ready to dive deeper, consider exploring dedicated LEGO Technic sets, which often minimize or eliminate standard bricks entirely.
Here are some of the best LEGO Technic sets available in 2025.
