Technic is where Lego shows off its engineering. These sets swap studs and bricks for gears, axles, pneumatics and motors, and the challenge of the build is the whole point. The larger models feature working gearboxes, steering and suspension, and the finished machines actually function. If you want a build that tests you, start here.
The bigger Technic sets are an investment, so each one below links to its live price comparison.
