Technic Set Summary

1977-1996

The following lists contain the names and numbers of known Technic Sets. Accessory packs (action figures, motors, etc.) and spare parts have not been included intentionally. The manuals have been included since they have been given 8800 numbers. The dates listed are my best guess for the original set introduction. For the most part the dates have been taken from the copyright dates on the instruction manuals. But in a few cases catalog information has been used instead.
