Nintendo’s upcoming Labo accessory for its portable Switch console certainly looks like it introduces some unique gameplay mechanisms. But do you really want to pay $70 for some cardboard origami? Not when you can build similar accessories using all the Lego you never stopped buying once you grew up.
We already knew Lego’s new Porsche 911 GT3 RS Technic set weighed in at a whopping 2,704 pieces, and measures almost two feet long when fully constructed. But the complex build takes so long that even an accelerated timelapse video of it being assembled is still over 25 minutes. But it’s not like you have anything…
Lego just officially confirmed that its massive 2,704-piece Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS set will be available on June 1 for the hefty sum of $300. Originally teased at the Nuremberg Toy Fair wearing dazzle camo to hide its curves and final design, the creation is quite simply a work of art.
The Porsche is a popular choice for Lego enthusiasts looking to test their modelling skills, but leave it to the toymaker’s official builders to absolutely nail the curves and contours that make the 911 so recognizable on this new Technic set.
Originally revealed at the 2015 London Toy Fair back in January, we’ve finally got some official photos of Lego’s upcoming Technic Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 truck courtesy of Amazon Japan.
In all of its beauty, the Alfa Romeo 4C quickly climbed the charts as one of my favorite attainable super-cars. When they released the images of the Spider version, my lust grew even stronger. Jeroen Ottens has now made a Lego Technic version, melding together two great loves of mine in one beautiful package.
Milan Reindl and Markus Kossmann from the Lego Technic design team have put up a few videos showcasing the newest sets. These designer videos are a great way to see what's new with Technic and help you decide which of the 2015 sets that you want to purchase before you get to the store.
Though it is not on Rebrickable yet, I am guessing that this cool motorcycle with side car will be up on that site shortly. It looks like Hirnlego-lego-lego-lego took a couple of the Street Motorcycle (42036) set and with Dr. Frankenstein like ability melded them together into one great motorbike.
Now that the Detective's Office (10246) and Slave I (75060) have released, the next big model on my radar is the Technic 24 Hours Race Car (42039). Apparently, this set is already available in the UK and has been since December, though those of us in the United States will not get it until later this year.…
I have learned that just about everything that Sariel makes is golden. His prowess in Technic builds is completely evident after just spending a few moments looking at all the great constructions that he's done over the years. Armed with SBrick, a tiny RC receiver that lets you control Lego power functions from your…
Gigantic Technic race cars are one of my favorite things on the planet. It's rare that Lego puts these out so when they do come along, it is always something special. Technic master Sariel got his hands on an advance copy of the 1219 piece 24 Hours Race Car (42039). In this rather lengthy video, he builds and goes…
Sariel has put up a video showcasing the upcoming 2015 Lego Technic sets. He was sure to include some photos of the alternate builds as well, which are awesome. With all the amazing stuff that he does with Technic, it is not a surprise that he has advance access to everything.
Toys R Us has prematurely placed a few of the 2015 Technic sets on their website for sale. Though sometime this morning, they changed the status to Email when available, you can still head over there and take a close up look at these new sets which should not be on the shelves yet. It's nice advance view of what is…
Having already built what is probably the coolest Lego Beetle that ever existed, builder Sheepo has churned out another spectacular Technic model. Normally, Technic models barely come close to looking the part, but this thing is unmistakable as the hippie van of the 60's. If the looks weren't enough for you this…
The Lego Technic Volvo L350F Wheel Loader (42030) is the biggest Technic set to hit the shelves this year. At 1636 elements, this remote control digging beast is a pretty challenging build and awesome to play with. In this video, Volvo and Lego give us a look at what went into creating this model and how cool the…
Slated for shipment in November of 2014, Incredible Lego Technic—Cars, Trucks, Robots & More is now available for pre-order on the no starch press website. Curated by Paweł "Sariel" Kmieć, a Lego Technic enthusiast based in Warsaw, Poland, this book is a stunning visual overload of just how versatile and amazing…
A few new images have been released of the upcoming Bionicle theme and I will share them with you. However, while all of this very pretty and great if you look at it from a comic book or animation standpoint, I can't help but think, is this really Lego?
Amazon currently has a few Lego Technic sets on sale. Most of these are no longer on shelves and are extremely hard to find.
A confidential Lego catalog for 2015 has been leaked, revealing 121 images of new sets. Users have posted a full mirror of the 121-image haul here, including some really cool models like this Flatiron Building in the Architecture line:
If you're a fan of "slow hypnotic acid house" music, then this Lego automata is for you. Oxford Contemporary Music provided a grant to produce this piece of Lego technic genius. Besides the music, I'm completely mesmerized by the mechanics of the build itself.
