1986 LEGO Sets
In 1986, LEGO's legacy of innovation and adaptability continued to flourish. This year was particularly notable for the introduction of the LEGO Technic theme, a departure from traditional brick-based sets. Technic offered a more complex building experience, introducing specialized pieces like gears, pins, and beams to enable the creation of intricate mechanical models with moving parts. This new line catered to older children and enthusiasts who sought more advanced building challenges. The Technic sets represented not just vehicles and machinery but the underlying principles of engineering and mechanics.
