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, Technic often forms the robust internal structure, providing stability for increasingly complex models, while traditional bricks create the external aesthetic. This evolution reflects LEGO's ambition to create larger, more detailed builds, and it's opened up exciting new building techniques for LEGO enthusiasts.

If you're ready to explore this sophisticated sub-genre, consider a dedicated LEGO Technic set, which minimizes or eliminates standard bricks entirely. Here are some of the best LEGO Technic sets available in 2025:
