Summer also brings a few new releases for LEGO Technic fans, though they\u2019re largely (but thankfully not exclusively) Technic models of various vehicles. We now have the official images for two of these vehicles \u2013 the Fast and Furious Mitsubishi Eclipse and the Fast and Furious Dodge Charger R\/T \u2013 so we\u2019re excited to present these sets to you here.<\/p>\n

The images of both LEGO Technic June 2026 new releases come from Greek LEGO retailer public.gr<\/a>, where many new sets have appeared. This gives us two of the four total Technic new releases scheduled to launch in June, now with official images. Unfortunately, we\u2019re still missing images for two retailer-exclusive sets \u2013 including the Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 5023 with Crane (42242), which happens to be a set that appeals to classic LEGO Technic fans with its pneumatic components, a group that has been extremely sparsely served with interesting new sets in recent years.<\/p>\n

LEGO 42241 Green Bugatti Chiron ?<\/p>\n

There are no images yet of the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron, though based on the name, this set could be a color variant of the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Hypercar (42222)<\/a> that was released at the beginning of the year. This will likely be a retailer-exclusive set.<\/p>\n

LEGO 42242 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 5023 with Crane<\/p>\n

There are also no (official) images yet of the LEGO Technic Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 5023 with Crane, though many details about the set are already known. This set is a comparatively \u201cclassic\u201d LEGO Technic set, as it shows the Unimog U 5023 in lime green with a red crane arm equipped with pneumatic functions. We assume this will be a retailer-exclusive set. Unfortunately, the price for this set is not yet known.<\/p>\n

Key details summary:<\/p>\n
