Customer Reviews

Good designs and many pieces
This truck does not have the wow factor of some of Lego's other Technic models (e.g., the bulldozer or excavator) but both of the included designs are still pretty good and are excellent for play. I am also appreciative of the fact that this set does not have Power Function motors; not every large Lego set needs to be battery operated. Also, at MSRP, the set is a good value for its large number of useful parts for other projects. As of the writing of this review (November 2008), this set is no longer in production and is no longer available directly from Lego. It won't be long before prices begin to rise above MSRP. When they do, you may want to consider some of the forthcoming 2009 Technic sets instead.

Dump truck and a crane in one
Excellent value for its price. Combine a dump truck and a crane in one. It's rather large. Bigger than the cherry picker by one scale and on par with the fire truck. However, the mobility of the crane is limited. The rear suspension at maximum travel scrapes the chassis. Take a while to put together, 4 hr for a seasoned Lego builder.

Great Product
A 23 yr AFOL here. Though a first timer (for lego technic), I've been an avid fan of lego since childhood. This is my first lego technic toy, so it took me some time for building . But I've enjoyed building, and it looks great.
