Agreed, too expensive, but still fun
on January 1, 2024
Posted by: Turkstrinkets
I read a lot of reviews, about as many negative reviews as I’ve seen on a Lego, agreed it’s way overpriced, I have no knowledge of real life crane, so no opinion there as to how it compares. I did enjoy the build overall, it was unique to other builds with the boom and all the strings. I also enjoy complex gear boxes which this did not have. The instructions weren’t the best, if I hadn’t had so much experience it may have been more of a struggle, why no more 1:1 comparisons on all the pages for beams and rods? I think it’s a good build if it’s in your budget, but it is most definitely overpriced, as one reviewer compared it to the Liebherr crawler loader , as much of a build for almost half the price. Agreed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Liebherr Crane LR13000
on January 2, 2024
Posted by: JeffS47
This was an awesome build. Took be 41 days working on it about an hour a day. Definitely a challenge for the most advanced builder. A previous review I read said 18+ means over 18 years of Lego building experience. I agree. The six motors and 2 motor control centers are well engineered with safety features to keep everything stable. Bluetooth connection to phone for control works well. My only request is that the instructions for Operation of the finished build are lacking. There are many features on the control panel that are difficult to learn/understand. Need some help here.

Great Build!

I was somewhat reluctant to spend so much money on this set. I know a lot of people judge the value of a set by piece count vs cost. It's expensive if you look at it that way. But I think some other factors come into play. There are 2 hubs and 6 motors. Quite a few by any standard. Also there are some new pieces included in this set. The build was challenging but still fun. I would recommend this set to anyone.

The Mightiest Crane of them All
on August 7, 2023
Posted by: Haskell
I really enjoyed this build. 6 motors and 2 smart hubs came together well. The threading of the cables wasn't too bad. All functions work well. Can lift a can of tuna with no problems. Money well spent!!

Noises tracks
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: WizardElegantaretox
Major complaint, NOISEY tracks that crack and pop as crane travels. Removed tracks and ran motors, worked fine and no noise, reinstalled tracks and lifted unit so no contact with ground, no noise while running. Placed crane on table or ground, ran under its own weight and tracks crack and pop while moving. This is why I gave it 3 star rating.

It's never fun when something doesn't sound quite right. In addition to double-checking the number of track elements, you’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together and that you're operating on a surface suitable for play. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!

I really enjoyed building this crane. I hit a few snags during the process ( routing the strings correctly). Overall I think most builders will appreciate this product.

Great Build
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: MateCaptivatingRattla
I bought that product prior to August 1 and I couldn't wait to get it. I couldn't believe how big it was. The build was great. There were some instructions that were a little tricky, but it came together great. I am really happy with the purchase.
