Just out of curiousity, what approximately is the breakdown between "technic"

Good question. Myself, I see Technic models as "unfinished". I do
collect some anyway. I use Technic parts as a way to mechanize things or
bring them to life, or for certain constructions that can't be achieved
without them (my drop center, for instance).

I'd put it at 2/3 of AFoL not really into Technic but I am guessing.
