I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isn’t a phase, it’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While they’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesn’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $19.99 all the way up to $450.
LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces)
If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it. At 212 pieces it is a relatively easy build, and for ages 7+ it’s a great way to see if the kids are interested in Lego without spending too much money. And for a pretty small Lego, it does a great job at capturing the essence of the Grave Digger, which is a struggle for some of the more advanced sets listed below.
LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces)
One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isn’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase.
LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces)
Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.
LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces)
This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $50.
LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR Ages 10+ (830 Pieces)
A Lego Technic Ferrari or Lamborghini will set you back north of $300, and they are rated for adults, but not all supercars are as exclusive. Enter the McLaren Senna GTR, which at a foot in length features moving engine parts, working doors and incredibly detailed decals. At 830 pieces, it hits that perfect middle ground of looking great as a display and not too high-end that you can’t play around with it.
