Lego - March 2017

 

     
  • A total of ten new LEGO Technic sets provide exciting construction challenges for the first half of the year

Journeys into uncharted territories, deep sea expeditions, or trips to dizzy heights: A total of ten new LEGO Technic sets offer exciting new adventures for the first half of 2017. On 1st January the first nine models hit the German market. In March another set provides additional construction fun. Thus in 2017 the range provides new big and small challenges for LEGO enthusiasts of all ages; just like it has been doing for four decades.

Towards new maximum speeds
Experience the thrill of even two new stunt sets: Der LEGO Technic Stunt Truck is equipped with a pull-back motor and comes with a buildable stunt ramp. Combine it with the Stunt Bike pull-back motor model for extended play possibilities or to create the Power Racer combi model. For additional traction, both models feature wide rims with low profile tires. The LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is another motorbike with all-terrain tires. The model has been designed in close cooperation with BMW and in 603 pieces combines innovative design with the art of engineering. The LEGO Technic BMW R 1200 GS Adventure is an authentic replica featuring the original blue and black colour scheme. Special highlights are the typical BMW two-cylinder boxer engine with moving pistons, and the visible shaft drive.

Adventures on land, at the sea and in the air
During the first half of 2017 the LEGO Technic Ocean Explorer takes you on a journey to the sea. For real deep sea expeditions the set comes with a large captain’s bridge with radar, a working crane, a helicopter with spinning rotors and a buildable submarine. For all those that rather want to fly above the clouds than dive into the deep sea LEGO Technic launches the LEGO Technic Air Race Jet into the air. The vertical take-off aircraft hits the market on 1st March and comes with Power Function motor for various functions and an adjustable jet nozzle for vertical or horizontal take-off position. Like almost all LEGO Technic sets, the LEGO Technic Air Race Jet provides double building fun as 2-in-1modell and may thus be turned into a Private Jet. Technic enthusiasts who prefer firm ground will love to explore uncharted territories with the RC LEGO Technic Tracked Racer. Thanks to sturdy tracks the vehicle is able to drive forward or backward, left or right, make 360° turns and drive over large obstacles with ease.

40 years of LEGO Technic
Adventurous missions on land, at sea, and in the air – guaranteed by this year’s new models. Since 1977 LEGO Technic has been inspiring children and adults at the same time with highly detailed, challenging sets that provide loads of building fun. As the LEGO Group is happy to celebrate 40 years of LEGO Technic in 2017, they now hide special decorated LEGO Technic elements in every LEGO Technic construction kit.
