LEGO Technic is heading out into the stars in 2024 with a wave of original space sets, alongside a new Formula E car and a more affordable motorbike.
LEGO Technic 42178 Surface Space Loader LT78, 42180 Mars Crew Exploration Rover, and 42181 VTOL Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81 are all due for release on January 1, 2024, rounding out the first wave of LEGO Technic 2024 sets. While it’s certainly not the first time that LEGO Technic has journeyed into space, it is the first time that the theme hasn’t been based on real-life machines or objects.
Instead, the LEGO Group designers worked with actual NASA scientists to come up with vehicles that were imaginary yet grounded in science. All three could technically exist but don’t actually have a real-life counterpart, combining the reality that LEGO technic is known for with the creative building that the LEGO Group has at its core.
It marks an interesting path for the theme, opening up far more possibilities for where LEGO Technic could go in the future. Could we see versions of cars that don’t actually exist? Could LEGO Technic explore weird and wonderful building machinery and cranes that haven’t been invented in real life? It’s one way to inject a little bit more variety and creativity into an ever-popular theme and certainly one to keep an eye on.

Im in love with that Vtol. definitely getting that one

Oh no no, people will recognize the orange. It's the color of the Space Shuttle external tank. White SRB's, black & white Shuttle, and an orange tank. Those are THE three colors of the space exploration the way we know it! VTOL is definitely on my want list. One thing though, I will immediately start thinking about some sort of (folding?) doors for where the hand goes. The open space is good for play-ability, not so much for the display. So that'll have to change.

I like the Heavy Cargo Spaceship LT81, I think it does the playing features really well (06:30),

It's definitely a satisfying apology from LEGO for canceling the Technic V-22 Osprey in 2020. :)

I know i am late but why the hell is/does the big "Truck" looking so much out of place? It seems so off in dimensions compared to all the other sets. I like the thoughts and possibilities baked into it but man... It Just seems so off... Having a Truck that is Double the heigth of the cool Heavy Cargo Drop Ship

Am I the only one who wants to live in the future that has the cool, "speculative" vehicles, and not the present reality which has disappointingly boring vehicles?

@hydroworldoutlook5447 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely not! :)

Are they Minifigure scale?

@Marc76-qt7vp 6 месяцев назад

I guess so, they've numbered the seats if thats an indication.

@hydroworldoutlook5447 5 месяцев назад

Sort of. Most of the technic sets released are actually designed to be a bit larger than minifig scale (like the blue seats of 42180), but most of these particular 2024 space sets have minifig seats in them just so that they are more compatible with the LEGO City and LEGO Friends space sets for this year.

@@hydroworldoutlook5447Right, thank you.
