- LEGO Technic, or LEGO System, is perhaps one of the most mind boggling questions. I breakdown the advantages and disadvantages of both systems, and I also give my final verdict at the end. Today we have featured: The LEGO Technic 42114, the lego technic 8043 motorized excavator, the lego technic Lamborghini sian fkp 37 42115, and many, many more

As a person who grew up with themes like power miners, Ninjago and castle, i like the combination of technic and system. For example: the outer structure with bricks for design and inner structure with technic for stability and functions.
I honestly love combinations too! But I haven’t seen that many system sets combined with complex technic mechanisms, like gearboxes
same but i dont even have that many 'brick with pinholes' pecies (i have two 1*1with 1 pinhole and 1 1*2 with 1 pinhole in the midle ) but id prefer lego technic. though i do use knockoffs but hopefully one day ill make money from youtube and be able to buy lego
I would love it if lego made a car model using Lego technic for steering, engine suspension etc.. but have a lego system body for the details. Best of both.
Maybe one day!
Kind of like the 8880 LEGO Technic Car Chassis 2.0.
@@suspense_comix3237 yes, kind of like that.
Not really sure I get the point of separating the two. Ultimately every Lego piece is designed to be compatible with every other Lego piece. So what is best for all builders is to combine the two. It is why more and more System sets use Technic parts.
well, not a lot of system builders know a lot about technic building techniques, and vice versa, the lego community is divided between the two systems
System sets have almost always used elements of technic here and there, but they're basic and simple functions (wheel attachments, helicopter rotor attachments for example). Technic sets have always used system pieces for extra detail here and there.
The thing is they dont want to merge the two together equally. Technic based sets are much more complicated than a system set of similar piece count because of the increased functionality of the build requiring a bunch of moving parts and gears working simultaneously.
System sets are much easier to understand and build, but have the ability to have extremely intricate detail that might be mundane to build for someone who enjoys a technic style of build where it's like an intricate machine of moving parts that have practicability
It's a battle of two fandoms: the fans of form vs the fans of function
Drinking game for "Lego Technic"
You’d get extremely drunk
I'm not sure we can call them distinct systems. I'm currently building the UCS Millennium Falcon and its entire infrastructure is Technics. In fact most Lego system builds of late would be impossible without Technics.
With how much they overlap, I'll abstain from picking a favorite and just wonder why more sets aren't more of a 50/50 hybrid. There are tons of sets that can pull off a 95/5 split, but they don't seem to get outside that comfort zone often. Maybe it's hard to decide a recommend age for something like that.
I like both and have regularly combined lego system with technic in my builds.
The self balancing segway robot seems pretty cool, never heard about it before. Awesome video
Al the pal% oh thanks! You should look up “lego mindstorms segways”
I combine both of them
I prefer technic. And I disagree with statement that technic is all about vehicles, as I saw amazing MOCs like Rubik cube solver, complete factory, etc.
I prefer technic too man! I should’ve worded that last statement differently. I didn’t mean MOCS, I meant sets that the official lego company released
Just saw this video, that statue of liberty at 0:05 is not an official set, right?
It’s actually an official set from the LEGO movie 2
I acually prefer both to be honest
That’s interesting
same
In big system sets comes also much technic for the skelet
Yep
BTW System and Technic can be successfully combined, seeing as how they're compatible with each other, so while there can be distinct models, there can also be combination models. Many modern System sets use Technic for play features.
Video suggestion. Show us the best Lego technic sets that are not vehicles
those basically don't exist
Bionicle > Everything else
lego Technic
I didn't like Technic back in the day because of the "open" feeling of the sets, holed bricks, etc. I am enjoying Technic more nowadays even though I am not good at coming up with my own ideas for this theme. System makes it easy to just snap some bricks here and there while Technic requires some planning, understanding of basic mechanic, etc. Yes they are more suited to vehicles. What is nice though is to combine System with Technic. Say you need a functionality in your System build. You can borrow some Technic stuff for it. Everyone wins
I own the ucs slave 1 and I even got to build it at work when I worked at a call center and then I had it displayed on my desk shelf and it stood taller than my cubical and the whole floor could see it sitting at my desk and now it sits on a shelf above my bed
LEGO Technic has lost a lot of ability and just seams to be foe shelf models, not invention creation :(
I like both as long as the pieces are compatible and can work together. It's all LEGO after all.
LEGO is LEGO... best toy ever, doesnt matter wich is better becouse u can play with both like one set...
Conclusion Bionicle is the best system, it has the complexity, stability and functionality that technic provides and the astethic, diversity and detailed aspects that system provides
I grew up with Lego system but switched to technic
I still play with system but I prefer technic
I love both, but... you can’t beat a technic skeleton with a system shell. This is why I love lego in general, anything is possible.
When you drive the lego technic Sian is it supposed to make a clicky sound
???
?
It’s not supposed to
Maybe there is a gear stuck
Siddharth077 i hope not
Siddharth077 everything seams to work
thank you ! i needed to clarify what systems means compare to classic,
There is still diversity with Technique, you just got to use your imagination. The whole point of technique is giving a foundation on engines. You can still take those engines and make a submarine with it with other parts. I think Technic is some what for mature builders in their teens. You can even add programmable behaviors using python which will require basic algebra at the least.
Yes technic is amazing!
I love the sturdiness of technic, my Land Rover is a tank, has been dropped from the shelve once and the chassis intact, body panels fell of, If I ever dropped a Lego creator Expert car, I’m sure it would shred.
Wow, this man is still reading comments here, a lot do it but still it’s very handsome with his subscribers, Thanks!
true enough
My jeep is also a tank same as my grave digger I threw my grave digger down the hallway and it was fine my jeep has been jumped and it’s fine it’s flipped of tables it’s fine I’m amazed with how strong technic is
Technic will always be superior in my eyes as I grew up with it and bionicle
Some lego system builds use lego technic bricks 😂
In the end LEGO is LEGO....and if you can combine them you get things like the star destroyer that has a tehnica frame
True but generally LEGO system sets never include complex mechanisms like gearboxes
The distinction between System and Technic can be compared to a humanities person vs an engineer. In Technic you mostly build functional models and mechanisms, while in System you can build pretty much everything that isn't one of those things. System lends itself much better to illustrating stories, that's probably why most Lego lines that deal with some sort of plot or conflict, are System. I think the only distinct exception to that was Bionicle, but the descendants of these have since evolved from being a Technic branch to a whole new system of Lego.
Nice video by the way
Daniel thank you very much
The editing is awesome!
Thank you very much
You forgot to point out that lego technic is a much stronger way of constructing then lego system. Lego system breaks easily and therefor it's easy to lose small parts, this is especially the case with kids playing with lego system. With technic this isn't the case, cause it's a very strong way of construction (but also a pain to deconstruct lol)
Like: System
Comment: Technic
Good voting system, but naturally a lot more people like and don’t comment anything
Unbrickme I know... You should put a poll on your community tab!
@@Unbrickme Perhaps comment and dislike? Literally noone dislikes any comment ever.
Ok will do
Leo, I don’t like dislikes
You drop Lego System set on the floor it shatters into pieces.
You drop Lego Technic set on the floor it stays intact.
I think category like this should also be in the list.
I mean the there is the best one Bionicle/ccbs
we all know Duplo takes the cake anyway
they are at ther best when used together
I've never built a Technic set. I definitely prefer the System sets, but I might try out a Technic set down the road.
Start with the Ducati panigale v4R. This set gives you most of lego technic in a nice $70 package
@Apprentice Builds it’s expensive but the 42114 has motors, a useful and intriguing gearbox and tons of useful parts for Mocs. 42114, 42029 and the panigale are the best starter sets imo
I prefer Lego technic
Lego technic is better
I love lego technic
The only theme of sets that I have right now are Ninjago. I'm thinking about the Technic rebel wrecker.
Nice video. For me, Lego Technic won before you even started 10 to 1! LOL
Awesome! I love lego technic too
Okay but I dont get what bothbactually are. You introduce without any background. That kind of ruins that video for me
Are you a lego fan?
@@Unbrickme yeah but wasnt lego system a really old and.now long retired set of legos? I dont get what you're reffering to here.
Moshe Levin LEGO System actually refers to a certain group of pieces, or building system, that is found in the common lego sets. LEGO Technic, while a theme, also refers to a building system
I prefer lego system, I like it that there is minifigures
Fair enough!
So biased.
wouldnt some of the sets such as the piano count are both technic and system. Its called the model team style i thiink where details are system and functions are technic
You’re right, but the vast majority (probably over 90%) of the pieces in those sets are system pieces. Some technic sets also have a bit of system parts
@Unbrickme but the functionality should be counted towards technic not system. You can make some awesome candy machines out of system though
@@hawkwind1903 I understand that,, but the set is mainly and mostly a system set. Yes, it does borrow technic elements, but it doesn't make it a technic set. Plus my category of functionality, technic got the point anyways
3:00 every mechanism?? That’s quite the statement
well, it's true
Lego: I'm pretty
Technic: Do you even gear box bro?
Technic and system two sides of the same coin
thats an interesting perspective
System for looks
Technic for functions
I agree
And sadly we got only 1 Technic set in the 2012 Jan. wave, the 10€ Compact Loader.
Tom Kazutara and I believe there wasn’t even a winter wave for lego technic in 2014
lego technic isn't competing with lego system, lego technic is competing with meccano and fischertechnic.
on top of that, the systems are compatible, so drawing a distinction doesn't really make sense apart from the labeling and marketing of the official sets.
Yes, the two systems are compatible, but the community is really divided between these two systems. You don’t ever see an advanced 8 speed transmission gearbox incorporated into a car that’s primarily built out of lego system for example
😊
I'm probably biased to system since I've only ever had system, but it you've ever seen a lego transformer, then that might add to the functionality a bit.
There is an official one now
Is that baby unbrickme?
Where?
The part were the kid with the nxt
In my opinion, technic is more utilitarian and has much more realism than the looks that system has, so in my opinion, technic beats it out also because technic is actually needed to make good and sturdy system models.
Yeah I agree I love mechanisms so I love technic
Cool video man. I can really see you getting better and better at this deal. Btw i got 42114 and now it is my favorite toy ever :). Now i am deciding what to buy next: mbs mos eisley, lamborghini or bugatti . Really waiting for more videos like this
P.s. sorry for my English times literacy
I’m so glad you got the 42114! It’s amazing! And thank you very much! I think you should try to save up for the 8043 motorized excavator and get it on bricklink
Imo there is no better system, technic is for functions and sturdiness, lego system is for the looks which is why a lot technic sets use system pieces and a lot of system sets use technic pieces
Good perspective
I prefer technic however you can make some pretty cool things out of system pieces.
Stop Motion Bricks I prefer technic too! But imagine having a technic internal structure, with mechanisms like gearboxes, but the exterior is built from system
That would be cool. the Harry Potter hedwig has lots of gears so that’s probably the closest LEGO has been to that. Mack anthem also had quite a few system pieces.
Unbrickme i like the additional challenges of adding bodywork with technic pieces. Also system aesthetics are super heavy
More intricate detailing can be achieved with system aesthetics, look at the modular buildings
Sariels bricks and pets makes awesome builds with technic in the inside of the vehicle and system pieces on the outside.
Which one do You Prefer, I want a challenge but hate technic building and love system building, Want it to have more pieces say about 800, and want to create a vast variety of robots on my own without any Tutorials ,
Lego Boost (Vernie the Robot) Sorry not watched star wars don't have nostalgia
Lego Mindstorms,
Maybe try the boost droid commander set. Or the vestas wind turbine
@@Unbrickme Was thinking about the droid commander but know nothing about star wars and want to create mocs as well
Lego system is by far the best
Both systems are truly great! My favorite theme from lego system is lego Atlantis! What about you?
Nah technic ez win
tie
Yes
I love like the wrecking ball set, where both are used to great effect
are you talking about the overwatch set?
Unbrickme do you log your collection on brickset?
Nope, and even if I started now it would be waayyyyyy too inaccurate. I got so many duplicates, triples, of the same set, and most of which, I forgot which ones I have, and how many copies I have
Unbrickme oh. I’ve been collecting lego for about 10 years now and I just made an account the other day and I think I actually got most of my sets in there. I just went to all of the themes I e had sets from and I scrolled through and checked them off. It’s super cool to see all the stats and graphs. Too bad you can’t do it.
Video idea: top 10 disappointing LEGO technic sets
It would get a ton of dislikes because I think the most disappointing one is the 42100 white excavator, and I know that it’s a beloved set by the overall community
Unbrickme true people judge on the “cool” factor of LEGO sets. Same thing happened with the 6x6 tow truck
First view and comment
Thank you so much and congratulations!
Both are amazing
definitely!
What will your next video be about?
Daniel it’ll be a livestream where I talk about the best lego technic sets for under $50
Unbrickme good
Never thought of it that way
Which system do you prefer?
@unbrickme Both their unique and special in there own way
amazing vid in my opinion i think lego system is used more for authenticity but technic has more functions and more challenging building.
Yeah I do agree. Which system do you prefer?
I think we all know they’re better together
