About LEGO Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984.
1982 LEGO Sets
1982 focused on incremental depth: Expert Builder (the forerunner to Technic) pushed functional mechanisms with gears, axles, and linkages, while Space and Town delivered steady waves of bases, vehicles, and civic builds. The 12V Train ecosystem continued to mature with expanded track components and control options.
