finally something unique
on September 7, 2023
Posted by: Chris
Contrary to the negative reviews mentioning that this set was missing all the gearing intricacies, I found this set to be finally something new from LEGO. I skipped so many large sets recently because I knew it would just be gearbox after gearbox after gearbox that I’ve built countless times, so this pulley system is not only fresh but it’s also teaching my kids something new when they observe this thing in action. Also most of the mechanics are on display instead of being hidden inside the model it’s just cool to see it all tick. My only criticism is that the ballast pieces were definitely odd; no studs, no holes, no beam integration… literally just chunks of plastic. No versatility to the pieces so I’m not sure what happened there in the design decision room. Also the last string of cordage that you need to rout may make you want to hang yourself with it instead but once you get through it… all worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Response from LEGOBy Michael, LEGO® Customer Service, August 21, 2023
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

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
