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 and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
1993 LEGO Sets
1993 introduced LEGO Belville, aimed primarily at girls with larger figures, bright colors, and lifestyle-focused play. DUPLO expanded with new trains and early learning sets, while the Castle line added Dragon Masters, introducing fantasy elements like dragons and wizards. LEGO also reissued Space Police I for a new generation of builders. Facing growing demand and capacity limits, LEGO began reassessing its manufacturing strategy. The year was both a creative and operational turning point as the company prepared for large-scale global expansion.
