  • LEGO Technic is the most fascinating theme ever, and there are so many great LEGO Technic 2022 sets. However, did you know that there was actually a LEGO Technic digital calculator? Or what about the online technic blog? These are just scratching the surface of the theme.

With the good old 4.5 v motor...and guess what? None of it are sold... I have to admit I really want to see it at least once

    Hello ! I would like to ask where you found your sources from the technic blog, if you can provide a link, I would appreciate it! Also, which issue of the magazine is this exactly, in which they write about the amazing methods of component development Markus Kossmann took part in? This video was really great, if you are like me, Technic itself means a lot to me and I am also interested in the small historical details, a theme that is almost 50 years old, which really describes what technic really means and what value it represents!
