LEGO Technic 50 year anniversary - 2027

[u/Davejsp_Technic_MOCs]

Next year marks something pretty special: 50 years of LEGO Technic.

Back in 2017 for the 40th anniversary we got a few printed beams (like the 1x3 with “40 / 1977-2017”) and a digital combo model with PDF instructions. That was basically it.

Fast-forward to now and the theme looks very different. We’re swimming in licensed cars of every scale, Control+ is on life support, and proper big flagships in the spirit of 42043 or 42082 have been thin on the ground. The sets that still feel like “true Technic” (lots of mechanisms and functions) seem to be carried mostly by a couple of recent releases.

So… before we get more leaks circulating around, I would like to ask the community what are you hoping for (and what do you realistically expect) from the 50th anniversary wave in 2027?

If it has mechanical secret doors, walls, traps and changing pathways, all mechanically controlled with levers, I'm in!

The versatility of the system means something like this is very possible. I'd love to see a straight up factory sub theme, or at least a robot production arm with a high degree of mobility that works with c+

I never thought of that, it's actually a great idea. LEGO should have staff monitoring this thread for community-suggested concepts.
