[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego Tipping Dump Truck (42203) was a fun set to put together. I can see why there’s a 9+ age rating on it, as my oldest wasn’t quite strong or dexterous enough to snap some of the pieces together. Sometime after completing the first bag, my assistant disappeared and I ended up building the remainder of the set. In total, I think it took about 2 hours to assemble. This truck is much larger than I was expecting (larger than the several model car sets we have). I like how it has a dumping feature, but cranking the knob is a bit of a slow process. This part was a good teaching moment while building though, to show and explain how gears work. There is also a knob on top of the cab to control the direction of the front tires. The cab doors are hinged and can be opened. The interior of the cab/seating is too large for a minifig to be the driver, but I’m sure they’ll find someone else for the driver’s seat!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love building these Lego models! This is the first time however I was missing two pieces! But I was able to easily go to the Lego website and fill out a form saying which pieces I need and they will ship for free! Overall, I would say this is an intermediate build because there were some steps that were tricky. You must carefully look at the diagram when building or things don’t fit right and you have to go back and re-do it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been way too many years since I’ve last done Legos, but this new Technic line is too cool. We knew based on the age suggestion it was going to be way too advanced for our 3 year old, but thought it may be a good activity for him to do alongside Dad for some father-son bonding. The kid loves dump trucks, so he was very excited about it.
My husband said the instructions were very easy to follow, he appreciated that the pieces were bagged into sections so that there weren’t too many pieces out at once, and it kept our 3 year old sitting and engaged for 2.5 hours. He loves figuring out how things work and building, so this actually turned out to be a great activity for him.
They didn’t use the app at all during the build, but out of curiosity I downloaded it. It’s very sleek and gives you a much more visual instructions option, but also great to have if you lose the instruction manual.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really excited when I got the box. It's bigger than I thought. The truck looks really nice on pictures. My husband loves it and Im sure he will finish when he gets home. I love lego products
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10Yo is putting it together as we speak! Absolutely lovely, with any small details and wonderful instructions! My child claims its easy to put together! I am no help, I have no patience!
This set has a nice variety of wheels and I love the color. It's a nice parts pack to add to the Ford GT (42154). BUT, it would have been a better technic set if it included differential gears and an engine. Being an old man, I remember how Technic sets were all about functionality. Now it seems Lego is shooting for looks. I'd rather have more functional parts than parts to make a smooth cab on a dump truck.
