The 10 Coolest LEGO Technic Sets to Build and Play With

Ever since LEGO's slow pivot to adult-targeted sets, the separation between traditional LEGO bricks and LEGO Technic – the rods, beams, pins, and gears that builders use to create simple machines – has become increasingly blurred. Nowadays, one is often an accompaniment to the other. Technic creates a sturdy skeleton, and the bricks form a decorative shell around it, which gives the model its form and outward appearance.

TL;DR - These Are the Best LEGO Technic Sets

It's a product of LEGO's ambition – that the builds got so massive that the designers needed an underlying structure to stabilize them. It also eased many LEGO fans into a whole new sub-genre of building techniques, and if you're one of those fans, you might want to check out a proper LEGO Technic set, which do away with the bricks almost entirely. It's become one of the most popular LEGO themes available in 2025.

Here are the best LEGO Technic sets that you can purchase in 2025.

LEGO Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit

Ferrari FXX K

Ducati Panigale V4 S Motorcycle

LEGO Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator

You get two builds for the price of one. First is a flatbed truck. You can lower its ramp and tilt the cabin back to reveal a 6-cylinder piston engine. Second is an excavator, which connects to a charging station and operates via pneumatic pump. You can play with both vehicles together – with the excavator resting on the flatbed – or separately. For the high prices that LEGO charges, it's nice to get some quantity along with the quality, and the Volvo FMX Truck & EC230 Electric Excavator feels like a bargain for its size and piece count.
