  • At the Fan Media Days in Billund a few months ago, I had the opportunity to see all the details of three LEGO Technic space sets for March 2024. Two designers from the Technic team showed us all the features, details and new parts of the following sets:
    42178 Surface Space Loader - €34.99
    42180 Mars Exploration Rover - €149.99
    42181 VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81 - €99.99

    These space sets are probably the biggest surprise lego did in a long time! They returned to the roots in a big way!

      This theme brings a lot of advantages and opportunities. You can almost hear the request in the brain storming session. How to make technic more appealing and playable as opposed to display models. The greater incorporation of Lego system as usable features, rather than small add-ons (a chain saw to a forest machine for example) also means they appeal to parent's wallets. All that system stuff they already own can be incorporated instead of abandoned as kids progress into technic. This friendly space exploration stuff is neat, but this theme hopefully will develop in future to all the alien technology that's out there. That could really free the designer's imaginations. Hopefully some of it will be motorised/controllable eventually. Finally, thank goodness they finally addressed the cog offset issue!

    The VTOL has an entire control pad on the top using only your thumb is GENIUS! And the collapsible Rover with so much accessories really favors the playability with the set!!! We be swimming in new functions this year!!

    I absolutely love the direction Lego is going with this. Retro/modern space exploration themed sets with no branding royalties to blow costs out of the water. Not only are they a good price, but they have so much thoughtful functionality for young an old alike. These sets really make me feel like I'm a kid back in the early 2000's again and I hope Lego can keep it that way.

  • @SaperPl1
    @SaperPl1 7 месяцев назад +107

    The fact that the big vehicle can collapse is really cool. Whole lineup is really unique and gives off a vibe that is really different than other Technic sets - it's more like system with playability for kids in mind than mechanisms for Technic geeks.

    • @qdaniele97
      @qdaniele97 6 месяцев назад +6

    I love them, only small hitch is the big rover's cockpit being a different scale to it's hab module, it would have been nice to see minifig chairs in there and fill the extra space with consoles or something.

    • @j0hn00
      @j0hn00 7 месяцев назад

      Tbf, we could probably just look at this cockpit seats as extra big safety seats. Nonetheless, I will be getting all 3 of these and modding them to work with minifigs and pairing them with the rest of the space sets in the other lines

    I have been wanting a mixture of technic and system for space for more than 4 years now. Since there were none I was building my own stuff up to now. Glad Lego finally made some sets in that direction, although I would have liked a bit more system than technic AND include some minifigs (I just love minifigs). Anyways these are really cool and I will be looking forward to getting them. Good job!

    Thanks for the reveal! Really digging the "Space" direction LEGO returned back to! That rotating wheel you can access with your thumb from the handle while holding the VTOL, in order to rotate the engines, drop the landing gear and crane is amazing! Also amazing job on the big truck / mobile lab, especially the little details like waste containers, canisters, the arms attachments for the little rover... But the thing which really made me WHOA was when the truck folded back and slided into itself! Really cool mechanism! Well done!

    While I'm most excited for the Kawasaki is March these original space themed sets are a real surprise as how unique and innovative all three models are. First off lots of fun playable features. My favorite I think is the V Toll that is fully functional at the same time as swooshable. Absolutely brilliant design. Favorite vehicle is the massive 6x6 Exploration buggy that has plenty of detachable modules, articulated suspension, is detachable and most surprising has been scaled with seating, and living spaces for minifigs outside the theme. If I were to get at least one this looks like it woud be the most fun to build/roll around with.

    @barragethree5047 7 месяцев назад

    I've never once wanted a Technic set until I saw the VTOL. It's just DRIPPING with playability and personality! The whole design was built around the swooshability, with the open top and the rear stabilizers being set apart so they don't get in the way of your arm. AI don't typically like the look of Technic, especially with the focus on real-world vehicles. These, however, have a certain charm to them that I wouldn't mind putting on display
