Visually Stunning
on October 6, 2018
Posted by: DeVirumEtMachina
The second I saw the LEGO Technic Volvo Concept Wheel Loader ZEUX I was immediately taken aback by its visually stunning aesthetics and knew I had to have it, and now that I've built it I feel an intense urge to purchase two more :P
One for parts to combine with the first along with some Power Functions/Powered-Up /LEGO BOOST modules to bring it to life and the third one to build and display the "B" model.
Fun to build, Amazing to look at, suffice to say, I love it. Even my cat likes it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than expected!

This is one of the best Technic sets I've had in years. I'd basically stopped buying them. This set may have renewed my interest! I love the concept. The entire set is designed very well.
I love it!
I will note, and this isn't a big deal, the linear actuators are barely strong enough to lift the suspension or the lift arm (more the setup than the actuators). They lift them, but it's tough to operate. Kids might not have the finger strength to really work the action. You can operate them all from both side - each actuator has 2 points to operate. So you can use two hands to move any one actuator. I support the arm/body when adjusting with one hand. The gears work much easier that way of course.

Excelent Set
on January 4, 2019
Posted by: Beirao1966
I hesitated before ordering this item, mainly for its somewhat futuristic characteristics.
But I took the risk and, honestly, I do not regret it; on the contrary, I am fully satisfied with this item.
Beautiful, with many hand-operable features, enough detail, of a future that is already today. And that was a huge pleasure to build.

A Fun Build
on September 5, 2018
Posted by: BGCanada
I was excited to get this kit as soon as I saw it and I wasn't disappointed. I wasn't keen on building version 1 with the big plastic shovel, I wanted to build version 2, the dump truck. It wasn't a difficult build just fun, which is all I am always looking for, and it's very durable. The 3 different gear systems are pretty cool, with one operating the wheels and the others the box on the back. I was a little surprised to find 286 parts left over after building this version but it's okay, I can use them on my own next design. I recommend this model if you just want to have some fun.

Roboloader!
on August 13, 2018
Posted by: strikefighterxxi
This was my first true Technic set in many years. I had been waiting for it ever since the first preview images came out, as I was fascinated by the future-y, unmanned loader concept.
As I have been mostly building standard stuff, I was very much used to the numbered bags, so this set, with no numbered bags was more of a challenge, but a good challenge.
All throughout the build, I was amazed at how the operating functions were incorporated into the build. And other than a couple of mistakes of my own doing (by not quite paying close enough attention to where a few pins went), it was a painless build.
In terms of play, it has some nice and nifty action features, though it must be said that they are a bit slow, mainly due to the length of travel.
But, all in all, a very worthwhile Technic set. And again, I am impressed by what the designers come up with.

Cool looking, but missing parts
on August 3, 2018
Posted by: Quoted14Hydra
After buying this set I have now officially owned all the new Technic sets, and so far they have not disappointed me at all.
When I got this set and started building it I noticed only two of the four tires were included in the set. I checked everywhere to see where it could be, but I haven't found it at all.
-really dissapointed and anrgy about that.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Emily, Customer Service, August 6, 2018
Hey there! I'm sorry to hear some of the tires seem to have lost their way. All four should've been loose in the box. If they're not stuck in the packaging, we're happy to get this sorted. You can request replacements by going to LEGO.com/Service and choosing the "Bricks & Pieces" option.

Great set but....

I was very excited to get and build this set.
upon opening the box i noticed that there were no numbered bags which was surprising. the results of this set not having numbered bags was hours of wasted time looking through bunches of different parts.
the build experience was good, challenging and straight forward (minus the endless part search. it believe that if this set had power functions this would be an outstanding set.
I would recommend this to a friend!
