Bigger than you think
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: LegendaryCelery034
For the count size this thing is big! The pneumatics work really well. My only suggestion to Lego would be to add an air tank. If you are thinking about getting a technic this is a great first one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just finished building my set and I am impressed by the design and the functionality. Very interactive when completed. I ordered it after having built the tow truck because of the pneumatic features that I like. So much fun building and playing around with it. Highly recommend!!

Amazing

The other review for this product is ridiculous.
The pneumatic features on this build are amazing. Very fun to play with and the build overall was very fun.
The way the claw and arm extend or retract with the little Lego pump using only air is truly awesome to see.
Definitely fun, no regrets in purchasing.

Great kit had fun building it pretty cool how the air pump works with all the cylinders only thing I don’t like about It is the air cylinders leak down, so putting it on a shelf in a posed position is impossible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Material Handler Fun

I think this is a great set, but it was kinda hard to install the pneumatic tubes. Overall I think this is a fun build

It’s just neat.

I normally build NASA, Botanicals, and Harry Potter; but something about this attracted me. Maybe it’s because I like claw machines… It was a really unique build and I enjoyed trying new techniques. The finished project is also pretty cool. I think it’s a great value and enjoyable every step of the way.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Claw!
on August 9, 2023
Posted by: TameHyena031
I purchased this set for my young son as he is a Lego fanatic - particularly for sets that are movable. He is still pretty young (just turned 8), but absolutely loved this set. He built it on his own in a little over a day - of course it still being summer vacation helped. Now that he's finished it, he's been having a blast using it. He keeps calling it "The Claw!" like the Aliens from the claw machine in Toy Story. It's been great fun and I would highly recommend it to others!

Great functions, complicated build

Verified Purchase:No
I’m a huge fan of the excavator style technic builds, this one brings a unique combination of pneumatic functions and manual functions. I’ve always preferred the manual pump for pneumatics, I think the only improvement would be inclusion of an air tank.
Great build process, love rebuilding some of these newer sets.
I would recommend this to a friend!
