Value packed!

Loads of fun - my son moved the wheels, backhoe, bucket pieces all over this set making some fun, weird vehicles. It stood up well to his 2yr old abuse. We got a solid two months of play out of this before he lost interest. I love how efficient the pieces are toward making a realistically scaled model!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Neat little set

Neat little technic set, good use of pieces for its size, nice variety of parts.
Cool little introduction to the Technic theme for younger builders, fits in well into the concept of having a similar build of every size (owning an 8455 Back-hoe Loader) as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My 4 yr old carries it around with him. Only a few pieces fall off so it holds together quite well.

Awesome set, Movable, Prefer mods
on February 11, 2025
Posted by: Legoman1237
Build was easy but fun, low challenge. The design is impressive with posable features for the front bucket and the back scoop.
Personally I modded the back; Opting to take the 5 space piece from the back onto the second half of the scoop. (think it looks better) and took the red piece out from the back for more maneuverability. I took a technic piece from a different set so that the scoop is posable with the round piece vs locked red piece. (the piece i took from the other set was pictured below). But overall incredible build for an incredible price.
I would recommend this to a friend!
