This is a tremendous build and pleasantly time consuming. The actual build is quite simple in parts, but in others is very complex, but as always the build instructions are superb. The parts are split into 13 sections, each of which takes more or less one hour to construct, which lends itself to the build being spread over several sessions of one to two hours over several days. The finished item is BIG.The particularly pleasing items are;1. One motor drives;a. cab rotation through 360 degrees in either directionb. boom raising and loweringc. boom extensiond. lifting hook raising and loweringe. stabiliser deployment and retractionAll of this is enabled through a very clever gearbox via the selection of the appropriate action with easy to operate, but ... MoreThis is a tremendous build and pleasantly time consuming.

The cable is wound neatly on the cable drum by means of sideways sliding cable guides, providing a very realistic appearance, unlike the 42009 Mobile Crane, where the cable drum looks a mess by comparison.3. With the boom fully extended and upright (a full metre high - 20 centimetres higher than the 42009 boom) the cable, when fully wound out, ensures that the hook rests exactly on the ground. A very nice detail.4. The manual steering is nicely positioned at the rear of the vehicle to both steer and propel the vehicle and, again, a very nice detail is the small rubber wheel provided as the steering wheel which enables very easy manoeuvrability of such a large vehicle.The Lego designers really have added detail which makes a big difference to the "feel" of this model and have surpassed themselves with the superb multi function gearbox.Some "nice to haves" would be;a. a triple telescopic boom as with the 42009, rather than simply the two part boom. Although the latter is probably in keeping with the real thing, the action of the triple boom is very pleasing and perhaps a little "poetic licence" could be allowed?b. infra red control of the on/off power from the battery box to the motor, particularly when operating cab rotation. I have added this facility which greatly improves operation, but I would not change the manual switching between functions, which is part of the magic of this model.c. motor driven steering and drive with infra red control - I have yet to work on this idea. However, I do accept that with such a large, heavy model at least two large motors (perhaps more) would be needed for drive which would push up the price of an already expensive set. As it stands it is well worth the money.Initially I wasn't sure about buying this set, but am really pleased that I did as it's a great addition to my collection of Lego Technic, both for play and display.

This is a worthy flagship model, a great example for the future of large Technic sets. I took my time and enjoyed it more. I took this set on holiday to build in the evenings. I was glad it was split into stages, so I did 1-2 stages each evening. That saved the need to leave it spread out over a large area.The key mechanism in this set is the large turntable, made from two rings of black "banana" pieces (ring gear quadrants) and a ring of small train wheels as a bearing between them. Whilst this sets the new standard for large cranes, I have re-used the technique in a model that uses drums to wind up some tubes; it uses the equivalent quantities of pieces from 3 sets. I can see further uses of the technique. So a great tick for providing learning even to ... MoreThis is a worthy flagship model, a great example for the future of large Technic sets.

I can see further uses of the technique. So a great tick for providing learning even to experienced Technic builders.This set improves on the previous crane 42009 by having much better working of the stabilisers from the motor that is located in the jib.I did find the panels a bit ugly in places, such as on the right side by the jib and around the rear of the jib. Perhaps that's similar to the real crane?This set is successful as a revival of the original mobile crane 855, though I would like to have seen at least a 3-section telescopic jib, given that 42009 achieved it. I have seen real mobile cranes with 7 sections; whilst this would be a challenge in a LEGO model, owing to the minimum width of strong-enough panels and beams, a flagship set should do all it can to maximise the capability of the LEGO construction medium, so I would be happy with 3 sections.I looked for the possibility to extend this set into a 9-axle mobile crane, to be built with at least 4 sets. The original set has the wheels well-spaced either side of the main turntable so it would be a challenge to bring them closer together to reflect the spacing on a real crane of that type. I will wait and see if other AFOLs try it.The advertising of the features of this set was better than some other sets in the range. This makes it more obvious what the customer is buying and might make for better sales.Overall value for the number and type of pieces is good. The grey panels will be useful in my own models while I keep the crane built for a while.The only reason I didn't buy more of this set was that I'm short of space at home. I might be tempted next year if I see them cheap, depending on how good next year's sets are. This set is most excellent and warmly recommended.

I have mixed feelings on this review. I do feel the kit is wonderful, very colorful and an absolutely amazing piece of engineering and design. Having built the Taj Mahal, the Millenium Falcon, the Liehber Excavator, the Star Destroyer, both the Bugatti Chiron and the Lambo Sian and the Grand Piano among a whole other bunch of multi thousand brick kits, this one stands very high in my list of favorites. For the pandemic situation we are living, Legos have been a breath of fresh air and have helped my wife and I, go through it and keep sane. I consider Lego to be excellent kits in helping people that, like me, due to health issues, have been impaired from performing more physically demanding activities.

I do feel the kit is wonderful, very colorful and an absolutely amazing piece of engineering and design. Having built the Taj Mahal, the Millenium Falcon, the Liehber Excavator, the Star Destroyer, both the Bugatti Chiron and the Lambo Sian and the Grand Piano among a whole other bunch of multi thousand brick kits, this one stands very high in my list of favorites. For the pandemic situation we are living, Legos have been a breath of fresh air and have helped my wife and I, go through it and keep sane. I consider Lego to be excellent kits in helping people that, like me, due to health issues, have been impaired from performing more physically demanding activities. The reason I feel so ambivalent in this review is that, as I explained earlier, it is magnificent. However, and here is the catch, instead of being a stress reliever, it became a stressful build! Since I opened the box to sort numerically the parts bags, I found that bag 11, one of them, was not properly sealed and the elements were loose inside the box. That is a red flag, one telling me that parts may or may not be missing! So, I emptied the box and placed all loose parts inside bag 11 and taped it shut, to deal with it on its due time. I have no way to do a full parts inventory since not all parts are showed on the parts list at the end of the instruction book. A little bit concerned on what was I to do in this case, I tried Customer Support phone. It happens that Puerto Rico area code 787, does not have access to the 800 Customer Support and we can only communicate via Email, protocol that as we know, is slow and tedious due to the high activity Lego Customer Support is having. Not even chat is available and has not been probably since last year, understandable to certain degree, because of the high activity, but no to be used as an excuse by Lego! Since my experience with missing parts has been “manageable” in other kits, and considering I have a small stash of parts from upgrades and MOC’s, I decided to get started building my kit. Long behold, bag 3, missing a part, available in my stash so not a problem. Bag 4, another couple of parts, again, I had them in stock. By now, my frustration is still manageable and the build can go on. Then, on bag 10, 4 missing parts, two not available in my stash, so I ordered them. I am still happy with my kit and decide that, while these parts arrive, usually in 10-15 days, I could keep building other sections. Now, the dreaded bag 11! This is when I blew a gasket! In the first couple of pages, I was missing over 15 parts! I start ordering and the return message was that my orders could not be fulfilled because they did no pass the automatic validation check, call Customer Support! How? There is no support for us! Well, I did send an email, actually more than one, and due to the parts missing situation, I have a beautiful, expensive, engineering marvel, sitting in my workbench and I don’t know how long it will take for me to finish it. I provided a couple of suggestions: send me bags 11 or I return the kit 2/3 done and they ship me another one! I have read this dreadful reviews on people complaining on missing parts, but never in my wildest thoughts, I believed it to be this bad! Lego has an excellent Quality Assurance process. But it seems to be unable to keep up with what the say are very busy times. The fact that this kit is missing so many parts; the error on shipping a kit with a poorly sealed bag of parts and the other issue with Customer Service phone not supported, is not only disturbing, but annoying! Don't get me wrong, I love Lego kits and this is, I hope, an isolated instance that was caused, maybe, due to the rush they are having. Again, as much as I can understand, It does not make me any happy. On the objective side, the parts I have already assembled, the kit fills all my expectations. It is colorful and challenging. The instruction books are sometimes hard to understand, but that is why the kit is to be built by older kids and us, the golden age adults and experience builders. That improvements can be made in the manuals? Of course, but they have to keep quality, affordability and cost effectiveness as much as help us grow our knowledge and expertise in comprehending and interpreting instructions. This last is what differs expert builder from novice building. I hope my situation can get resolved soon since I have more kits to build, Xmas decorations are around the corner and this is a very busy time for my wife and I. Happy Holidays to all! Antonio
Where to begin? The instructions come in not one, but two thick books and are generally very clear, but some steps could be a bit clearer.I had a few missing pieces, the sticker sheet and a couple of bricks, although this was a little bit inconvenient a quick visit to the Customer Service pages soon had my missing pieces shipped out to me.I purchased the Rough Terrain Crane set a few months ago, then covid19 started sinking her ugly claws in around the globe and then lock down hit the UK! Finding me with way too much time on my hands and boredom was increasing day by day, so I opened the box, which is huge and fairly weighty and the amount of pieces is unbelievable and are packed into individually numbered bags, more or less completely filling the box.I would ... MoreWhere to begin?

Finding me with way too much time on my hands and boredom was increasing day by day, so I opened the box, which is huge and fairly weighty and the amount of pieces is unbelievable and are packed into individually numbered bags, more or less completely filling the box.I would highly recommend that you do not open all of the bags of bricks and emptying them out into one huge pile. The building instructions indicate which bags are needed for each section, so only open the bags needed for each section. I used a small box to keep my pieces together.Section one of the building instructions has you building the centre section of the model. This houses the the very complex gear box which performs all of the crane's functions, which are powered by a single motor. Which I found impressive. Sections 2 and 3 have you building the front and rear sections. These include working differentials, V8 engine with moving pistons and fan, four wheel steering etc. The rest of the build follows the same step by step modular construction.The stickers are very nicely printed and the complement the model well. I do havve one slight criticism though and that I do think that mirror stickers would look better if they were "more mirror like" in appearance.My final thoughts are as follows. This was my first Lego build since an early pneumatics excavator when I was a kid in the 1980s and the quality of the pieces and finished model has not diminished at all, in fact I would say that they have improved a lot since my last build. The rough terrain crane is a challenging build and is very enjoyable. This model should be on every Technic builders wish list or in their collections.There is a B model in this set, I have not built it as of yet. The instructions for the B model are not included in the box, but are only available from the Lego web site.
This is the first Lego kit I have purchased for myself in a very very long time! I get the itch when I help my son build Lego City so I bit the bullet and purchased this crane. It did not disappoint!Firstly, it absolutely amazes me how the engineers at Lego even come up with this design! There are a lot of moving parts in this set, with several gears linking together to operate different parts of the crane. I would love to know how many man hours went in to designing and testing the original concept.Before choosing this build, I read some reviews and most builders quoted how long they could build this in... 8,9,10 hours. For me, I lost count after about 6 or 7 as I was so fascinated at how this crane was coming together, trying to work out how the single motor ... MoreThis is the first Lego kit I have purchased for myself in a very very long time!

For me, I lost count after about 6 or 7 as I was so fascinated at how this crane was coming together, trying to work out how the single motor was going to drive all of this. It was extremely nice to turn off from the real world for a couple of hours at a time after all the children were in bed & jobs done.It was also lovely to see my 5 year old son help me with MY Lego and watch his face as he turned gears over and tried to work out how this contraption worked!I think anyone that is disappointed by this build is very hard to please! Great value for money vs time spent building. Quite a technical build but instructions were very thorough and clear.Great dealing with MyHobbies. Very simple process. Paid and Lego came boxed, well protected and in the time frame quoted.Thanks.
This set has completely exceeded my expectations. I have bought multiple Technic cranes over the years yet, this one has everything you could possibly want. Size, Interactivity, Flair, Stickers, Motor Functions! It checks off all of the boxes. I love it so much and have played with it more than an adult male should, however, I have to give it four stars. This set is absolutely perfect in every way and I don't want to say anything bad about it because I'm worried the Lego Company may look down on me for my remarks. I was missing so many darn parts throughout each section that I had to salvage some of neglected Technic sets sitting on the shelf or in boxes. Over the years, I have had many, many Lego sets, each with extra pieces, (Which, yes, this one does too), but ... MoreThis set has completely exceeded my expectations.

I was missing so many darn parts throughout each section that I had to salvage some of neglected Technic sets sitting on the shelf or in boxes. Over the years, I have had many, many Lego sets, each with extra pieces, (Which, yes, this one does too), but this set was missing over 12 pieces throughout different sections of the manual that I had to take out of my "extra parts" bin or grab them off of my sets on the shelf. I was extremely disappointed with this. For the record, I secrete all of my parts in separate containers in a controlled area where nothing else is allowed in. I know I didn't just "drop" parts anywhere. I hate to give this set 4 stars, but I'm noticing that I'm spending more and more money on high valued sets and they are missing pieces-each and every one of them. I Love and want to continue my love for Lego-It's been since 1994! I'm disappointed, and happy at the same time that such sets can be created. I understand as a company you have financial and other obligations to meet, however, many kids and adults are counting out you to have a good system in place (I am not neglecting your parts that get mailed out through customer service), but it's not always happy or exciting to have parts mailed out to someone who paid over $300 for a set and has to wait another 3 weeks for a single part. It's not fair. I am a realist. I am someone who cares. Let's fix this Lego. I love you.
I am a new dad that had his Lego interest rekindled by playing Duplo with my child, and decided to “fill the gap” and try Technics. Thus this review is from an adult perspective of someone who had played much Lego as a child and had nearly zero Technic experience.Pro- Incredible, efficient design to integrate all the different functions, some notable:o Cable rolls in nice and tidyo Finished model is sizable but very solido All the functions and its selectors work very well – simple and no-fuss; operation is simpleo Can actually lift decent weight- A very good “parts set” with good alternate builds available online. The additional “building in construction” provides many flat grey panels for future rebuilding- Some nice details- A good overall ... MoreI am a new dad that had his Lego interest rekindled by playing Duplo with my child, and decided to “fill the gap” and try Technics.

The additional “building in construction” provides many flat grey panels for future rebuilding- Some nice details- A good overall colour scheme- Provide hours of immersive experience - for me model A took 18hrs, and model B took another 9 hours (disassemble and rebuild)Con- Meager extra pieces – for example, no extra for a small 3-pin(?)part that totals 396 in the set- Design:o More details/pieces needed for areas near the head/tail lights and the cockpit.o Sticker: never a huge fan of Lego sticker design; but it’s better than many other sets.o B model – a mixed bag- I wish this is a complete different build and not a half-rebuild. The finished model looks fine (but similar to model A) and the functions are interesting and decent (but with a buggy cable design); the biggest issue is playability: all it does is driving the two piles, while the crane can lift anything that can be attached and is not too heavy. Some amazing alternate models are online but they are often for-purchase.o A hook element would’ve also been useful for the crane- Instruction can be more clear in some steps, and more “check points” to make sure the mechanical parts are working will be helpful- It’s new to me and not a huge deal, but the plastic quality doesn’t seem to be as good as regular Lego pieces; many larger pieces have nub/molding marks. Not sure this is just a bad batch or technic sets use different plastic and this cannot be avoided.I wish…- Perhaps it’s because I might have jumped a few steps, but I really, truly wish for more explanation on the parts I am building: names of the piece/mechanisms, what they do…etc, as for a good portion of the build I feel rather “in the dark”. it will be more educational and interesting. I understand that Lego instructions are meant to be language-less, but if Lego is going digital (which a lot of people seem to dislike), perhaps more functions can be included so it’s not just a copy of the paper version. Maybe a book/document of “Technic 101” can also help?- Include a few operable panels to reveal inner works- A more general comment - if more techniques, such as call-outs/fading/outlining, can be used in the instructions, i’d prefer the numbers of step to be reduced in all lego sets (easily 25-30% of the steps/pages can be eliminated). If you compare an instruction from 20 years ago and a recent one, the increase in thickness is substantial – adding more paper and cost.Overall, while it’s not perfect, this set was fun and a very different experience as Technic might be more different with regular Lego than I thought, making/challenging me to think differently – and that to me is well-worth the price of admission.
I really like this set. Very nice to build. Not always easy, but very doable in the end. And she came to life with the very first tests I did, so that was a nice moment. I only had to fix one small mistake, which caused the boom to become shorter when I said it to become longer and vice versa.I’m just starting my Lego hobby (my entire experience when starting this build was building the 42080) but this was an absolute nice challenge, but absolutely doable for beginners. You won’t be finished in the 12-14 hours mentioned in other reviews, but for me thats not a goal :).Some piece of advise though: really follow all the instructions in the manuals. If the wheels are straight in the manual, make sure you have them straight in your build too. I have made small ... MoreI really like this set. Very nice to build.

If the wheels are straight in the manual, make sure you have them straight in your build too. I have made small mistakes during the build which I noticed quickly, otherwise my build would have had trouble with turning the wheels and extending the outriggers.Another tip is to test regularly during your build. Check if the gears are turning smoothly, and if they make contact with each other. When you have finished a module, check if the entire module works, also in combination with other modules.If you follow these tips you will get a great set which is worth your money, also when you are a beginner.
I went to the Lego store on release date and purchased this set. I spent a couple of hours each night building it.As a crane it is a fitting replacement for 42009, it is more complex and a lot of fun. It has some features which that crane has, some that 42042 has, and it adds a longer boom.Like 42042, everything runs off of one motor and it is a brilliant instruction on how to use one motor to drive multiple systems, this in itself made me like the crane.There is a lot more to like about this besides its elegant use of transmission of power.When I say this is massive, I am not kidding, it is a meter tall with the boom fully extended. However, the build does not feel overwhelming at all. It is well organized into sections. The instructions are split into two ... MoreI went to the Lego store on release date and purchased this set.

However, the build does not feel overwhelming at all. It is well organized into sections. The instructions are split into two books and the parts are sorted into 13 sections.Finding parts this way is not too daunting. Total build time for me was about twenty hours split over three days.The crane lifts more than I thought it would and the spindle winds and unwinds the cable extremely well. This one won't tangle and the cable unwinds and winds back onto the spool by a very clever use of two pulleys that travel on axles.The designer(s) of this crane did a great job. I just wonder if they took into account the two linear actuators being driven by the same axle,the gears travel in opposite directions which means at times one of the linear actuators may have a larger stress on it.All in all, a great flagship model! Thank you designer(s)
