Technic: 1:8‑scale monsters

Which set should you choose?
The flagship build, the McLaren MCL39, replicates the latest title‑winning car and packs 1,675 pieces. Helmets and Icons sets deliver the most detail for under £80. With 2024 Speed Champions leaving shelves, collectors must act fast. For my money, the Technic monsters offer the best bang for your buck.
