App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle

The App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle is a clever Technic set with a unique play feature.

🏆 Best For: Perfect for kids and teens interested in robotics and remote-controlled vehicles ⏱ 4.5 hr build 🧩 772 pcs 🎂 Ages 9+
★★★☆☆ 3.9

Users appreciate the innovative transformation feature and the remote control functionality, making it a fun and engaging set for kids. Some find the building process repetitive and the price a bit high for the piece count, but overall, it's considered a worthwhile Technic set.

📝 Our Take

The App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle is a clever Technic set with a unique play feature. The ability to transform between two distinct tracked vehicles by simply driving into a wall (or manually flipping it) adds a fun and unexpected element to the build and play experience.

This set is perfect for kids and teens interested in robotics and remote-controlled vehicles. With the Control+ app, users can drive the vehicle and perform stunts, making it an engaging and interactive experience beyond just building.

Skip this if you prefer display models or are looking for a more challenging Technic build. While the transformation feature is neat, the overall complexity is relatively low. Consider sets like the Liebherr Excavator 42100 for a more intricate project.

Build Highlights:

📈 Investment Analysis

→ Price stable
B
Investment Grade
⏳ Active
The App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle has moderate investment potential. As a retired Technic set with app-controlled functionality, it may appeal to collectors interested in unique and interactive models. However, its relatively lower piece count and wider availability compared to flagship Technic sets might limit significant price appreciation. The Control+ components could also be a factor, as future app updates and compatibility might influence long-term collectibility. Monitor price trends and consider holding for several years to maximize potential returns. The set's play features may also attract a broader audience than purely static display models, potentially increasing demand.

📖 About This Set

Kids aged 9+ can enjoy twice the fun with this LEGO® Technic™ App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle 42140 set. In a first for LEGO Technic sets, this vehicle toy flips over when it drives into a wall to reveal the second vehicle. No wall? No problem! Kids can turn the model over to switch vehicles. On one side is an aerodynamic tracked racer. On the other side is a tracked exploration vehicle. With suspension, a cockpit and tracks on both vehicles, plus a truck bed on the exploration truck, there’s lots for kids to discover.

Take control with the app
Kids will love using the CONTROL+ app to operate their vehicle. Using the app, they can steer the vehicle and complete fun challenges. The app experience changes for each vehicle and cleverly switches screens when the model flips.

A great introduction to engineering
LEGO Technic buildable models feature realistic movement and mechanisms, making them a top gift idea for any LEGO builder who is interested in engineering.

  • 2-in-1 fun – Build the first flip vehicle in LEGO® Technic™ history with this LEGO Technic App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle (42140) set, featuring a tracked racer and tracked exploration vehicle
  • See the model flip! – The vehicle flips over when it hits a wall or can be flipped by hand to reveal the brightly colored tracked racer on one side and an orange exploration truck on the other side
  • CONTROL+ App – Kids can use the app to steer the vehicle, complete fun challenges and see driver stats. The app automatically switches screens to match the vehicle when the model flips
  • Designed for kids aged 9+ – This app-controlled flip car toy features suspension, cockpits and tracks on both vehicles, plus a truck bed on the exploration truck for kids to explore as they play
  • Suspension – Both vehicles have bogie suspension, which allows the tracks to adapt to uneven surfaces
  • Shock absorbers – 2 shock absorbers drive the ‘pop-up’ function that changes the shape of the vehicle when it flips over. The set also includes 2 large motors and 1 hub
  • Dimensions – This 360° double-sided vehicle measures over 4.5 in. (12 cm) high, 10 in. (26 cm) long and 7.5 in. (20 cm) wide
  • Learning through play – The world of LEGO® Technic™ sets offers advanced building toys for LEGO fans who are ready for a new building challenge
  • High quality – LEGO® Technic™ components meet rigorous industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect reliably every time
  • Safety first – LEGO® Technic™ components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and analyzed to make sure they meet strict global safety standards

Compare Similar Sets

Compared to other Technic sets in a similar price range, the Transformation Vehicle offers a unique play feature with its transforming design. Sets like the Monster Jam Grave Digger (42118-1) offer a simpler build but focus on realism and playability. For a more complex and display-oriented set, consider the McLaren Formula 1 Race Car (42141-1), but it lacks the interactive features of the Transformation Vehicle.
