Verified Purchase:No
This LR 13000 is an incredible build. The technical requirements involved with the motorization and functionality is super impressive. LEGO has quite an achievement with this engineering marvel. The build required a great deal of concentration and patience, but it was also straightforward and organized. Even the steps involving the intricate threading were very well detailed. All the crane functions worked correctly, too. The value is excellent - don’t view this on a price per piece basis. The crane is enormous - much bigger than you would think for 2800+ pieces. Plus, all the motors and battery packs are included, which also must be factored into the overall value of this set. Well done, LEGO!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

MONSTER CRANE LR13000
on June 9, 2024
Posted by: ColonelExcitableNostril
First of all, this is a MONSTER. I didn't think it would be this big. Building was straightforward and the instructions were easy to follow. It's probably the best designed and sturdiest Lego build I've done. The hardest part for me was running the string for the pully system that moves the arms. The string that raises and lowers the hook is over 20 feet long. I made one mistake on one of the crawler track assemblies and instead of all yellow on the side, I have black section, but I'm not going to take it apart and try to fix it. (I tried to upload photos, but it wouldn't let me)

Awesome finished product

This build is quite impressive when completed. There are a few spots during the build that require a lot of attention as the instruction photos are a little hard to decipher. I had to backtrack a couple of times but it was worth it. It’s amazing to operate all of the functions after completion.

I like big cranes

To Lego:
(1). Thank you for the new pieces!
(2). More ballast please! Would be a great set for adding alternate instructions for an extended ballast.
(3). Would be great to attach a video of the crane in action to this review... it's alot of fun.
(4). This was the first set in which I found a deformed piece (#6348143). I am not the least bit upset... in fact it felt like finding a golden ticket. It's the first deformed piece out of thousands of thousands of pieces I've seen over 20+ years... that's some incredibly amazing quality control at your factories!

To Reviewers and Raters:
(1). 18+ could be referring to age or years of experience building Lego. In general, the more expensive the set, the greater the challenge. If you want an easy build with perfect instructions, Duplo is a great place to start.
(2). If the instructions were perfect, it wouldn't be a challenge. Completing a challenging set such as this is a very rewarding experience. Going back steps to see where you missed a piece or getting the string configuration wrong and seeing how the build doesn't work is part of the challenge and increases the satisfaction of completing it. If you don't have patience, then difficult/expert Lego sets are probably not for you.
(3). Most importantly, this is Lego: if you don't like the instructions (or anything else about the build) then just do your own thing! The pieces are very versatile and you can do most most anything. For example, when I completed this set and discovered it couldn't lift the space shuttle, was that time to write a negative review about the crane being too weak? No! I saw one of the pictures in the instructions of one of the real world cranes with an extended ballast, so I tried building that and it worked. I had more fun trying to figure how how to do that than I did with the initial build.
(4). Please note in the picutre: this set does not come with a space shuttle or the pieces for the extended ballast platform shown in the picture.

A Triumph of Engineering
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: IggyBrick4547
This Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 proves to be an astounding set that left me utterly impressed, particularly by its sheer size – a true behemoth! The main boom/jib boasts an impressive extension, reaching substantial distances, and effortlessly retracting to its towering height.
The build experience was nothing short of remarkable; I dedicated a couple of afternoons and evenings during a week off from work to assemble this marvel and handful of other sets I purchased on the 1st, also my birthday. The incorporation of new techniques and new components, alongside the integration of all the electronics, as well as the intricate string-threading to enable the amazing functionality, collectively render this Lego set the most operationally versatile one I've ever had the pleasure of constructing and playing with.
The accompanying app has become an almost daily routine now, allowing me to engage in playful interactions, orchestrating intricate movements of the crane across the room, or daringly selecting random items or sets to try hoist with precision.
I actually can't wait to deconstruct it and relish the joy of rebuilding it all over again; I haven't had a feeling like that in many many years, even with all the recent amazing set's I've purchased this past year.
Without a doubt, this stands as my favorite set of the year, hands down!
I would recommend this to a friend!
