LEGO Technic January 2024 Sets Officially Revealed | 42163, 42164, 42166, 42167 + 42168

Another in-house LEGO theme which has continued to thrive over the past couple of years is the LEGO Technic line of sets. And this trend looks set to continue as five sets have been officially revealed for the theme. The cheapest of these is 42163 Heavy-Duty Bulldozer which will retail for $12.99 with 195 pieces. This is then closely followed by 42164 Off-Road Race Buggy which retails for just a couple of dollars more at $19.99 with 219 pieces.

More lowered price sets continue for the theme but this time based on a real model with a well-known brand name. The McLaren racing team is one of these brands and they will have two sets of 42166 NEOM McLaren Extreme E Race Car and 42169 NEOM McLaren Formula E Race Car release in 2024 at some point. However, only 42166, which for $26.99 is an off-roader for the Extreme E Series, will release on the 1st of January 2024.

With the January 2024 set of 42168 John Deere 9700 Forage Harvester, LEGO will be giving us another model from the popular John Deere license. With 559 pieces for $39.99, the self-propelled forage harvester again appears in the classic yellow-green John Deere colours seen in previous sets. However, due to the relatively small number of pieces included, no major details or functions are included in the 9+ set.

Then we move on to a license making a comeback with 42167 Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck being the first Mack set since 2018. However, the set won't be huge as for a reasonable price of $32.99, 503 pieces are included. The recycling truck still has many capabilities though like openable doors and a gear element on top of the cab to steer the truck into position
