Amazing Engineering
on July 18, 2020
Posted by: CharlieM
Built this with the 'help' of my three year old daughter; she loves playing with the gears.
The engineering behind this set is crazy! All these functions are completed by only one motor distributed through gearing.
The play experience could have been made a little better by stiffening the rotation a bit. When you activate the crane arm extension and pulley, the play in the rotation is pronounced. But I couldn't have designed it better and it's still really cool.

The crane was a really fun set to put together, and the control system is the best one I've seen on a set ever. Super simple to understand. Finished product looks veey nice as well.

I found that this build was pretty challenging really to pay attention to what u were doing after i finished it i checked everything out and it ran really smooth.
P.S. I wish that lego would start including the alternate instructions with the kits also?????
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rough terrain crane

Rough terrain crane
This set took me about 40 hours for the crane. I did not time the pile driver. Both are fun builds. However the bottom half of both builds are the same. If you are planning to build both designs, I would recomend the pile driver first. In my opinion the crane makes a better display.

Excellent and great engineering! ...however...

I have mixed feelings on this review. I do feel the kit is wonderful, very colorful and an absolutely amazing piece of engineering and design. Having built the Taj Mahal, the Millenium Falcon, the Liehber Excavator, the Star Destroyer, both the Bugatti Chiron and the Lambo Sian and the Grand Piano among a whole other bunch of multi thousand brick kits, this one stands very high in my list of favorites. For the pandemic situation we are living, Legos have been a breath of fresh air and have helped my wife and I, go through it and keep sane. I consider Lego to be excellent kits in helping people that, like me, due to health issues, have been impaired from performing more physically demanding activities. The reason I feel so ambivalent in this review is that, as I explained earlier, it is magnificent. However, and here is the catch, instead of being a stress reliever, it became a stressful build! Since I opened the box to sort numerically the parts bags, I found that bag 11, one of them, was not properly sealed and the elements were loose inside the box. That is a red flag, one telling me that parts may or may not be missing! So, I emptied the box and placed all loose parts inside bag 11 and taped it shut, to deal with it on its due time. I have no way to do a full parts inventory since not all parts are showed on the parts list at the end of the instruction book. A little bit concerned on what was I to do in this case, I tried Customer Support phone. It happens that Puerto Rico area code 787, does not have access to the 800 Customer Support and we can only communicate via Email, protocol that as we know, is slow and tedious due to the high activity Lego Customer Support is having. Not even chat is available and has not been probably since last year, understandable to certain degree, because of the high activity, but no to be used as an excuse by Lego! Since my experience with missing parts has been “manageable” in other kits, and considering I have a small stash of parts from upgrades and MOC’s, I decided to get started building my kit. Long behold, bag 3, missing a part, available in my stash so not a problem. Bag 4, another couple of parts, again, I had them in stock. By now, my frustration is still manageable and the build can go on. Then, on bag 10, 4 missing parts, two not available in my stash, so I ordered them. I am still happy with my kit and decide that, while these parts arrive, usually in 10-15 days, I could keep building other sections. Now, the dreaded bag 11! This is when I blew a gasket! In the first couple of pages, I was missing over 15 parts! I start ordering and the return message was that my orders could not be fulfilled because they did no pass the automatic validation check, call Customer Support! How? There is no support for us! Well, I did send an email, actually more than one, and due to the parts missing situation, I have a beautiful, expensive, engineering marvel, sitting in my workbench and I don’t know how long it will take for me to finish it. I provided a couple of suggestions: send me bags 11 or I return the kit 2/3 done and they ship me another one! I have read this dreadful reviews on people complaining on missing parts, but never in my wildest thoughts, I believed it to be this bad! Lego has an excellent Quality Assurance process. But it seems to be unable to keep up with what the say are very busy times. The fact that this kit is missing so many parts; the error on shipping a kit with a poorly sealed bag of parts and the other issue with Customer Service phone not supported, is not only disturbing, but annoying! Don't get me wrong, I love Lego kits and this is, I hope, an isolated instance that was caused, maybe, due to the rush they are having. Again, as much as I can understand, It does not make me any happy. On the objective side, the parts I have already assembled, the kit fills all my expectations. It is colorful and challenging. The instruction books are sometimes hard to understand, but that is why the kit is to be built by older kids and us, the golden age adults and experience builders. That improvements can be made in the manuals? Of course, but they have to keep quality, affordability and cost effectiveness as much as help us grow our knowledge and expertise in comprehending and interpreting instructions. This last is what differs expert builder from novice building. I hope my situation can get resolved soon since I have more kits to build, Xmas decorations are around the corner and this is a very busy time for my wife and I. Happy Holidays to all! Antonio

Marvelous design
on March 30, 2020
Posted by: MateFeatheryShark
During the entire building project, I kept marveling at the complexity of the design. Once completed, this model has a large array of functionality and it is all done with one motor! There are over 120 gears in this set and each one is required to bring this kit to life. The set is rugged with lots of interlocking parts. My only caveat for a builder is to follow the instructions carefully and double check your work before proceeding. If you leave out a gear, something won't work and the technical checkout only happens in the final stages. If you leave something out, it will require a big tear-down to make things right.
My kit was missing one gear and I got two of the same external cladding parts, so I will have to wait a few days for the replacement parts to arrive. fortunately, the gear can be easily inserted so I was able to finish the project.
With over 4,000 pieces, it's easy to understand some missing parts. This is one incredible build!!
