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.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

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 solid o 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 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.

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 positive, switches.2. 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.

I'm a huge fan of LEGO, particularly Technic. There are 4057 pieces in this model - this is the first Technic set to crack the 4000 piece mark, so in terms of number of bits, this is the biggest there has ever been. This becomes obvious as soon as you see the box - it's huge; even bigger than the boxes for sets like the Bugatti Chiron. The instructions run to over 650 pages in two books, and there are 13 build stages, each of which has multiple bags of parts. I should mention that a subset of the part bags are provided in a second box inside the main one, which is glued shut with no obvious means of opening it - you'll need a thin knife to get into it! Also,for anyone with OCD - the box of this set is so big and heavy that it is unlikely to survive being sent through the post without the odd scuff - if you want a perfect box, buy it in a LEGO shop.There is a single Power Functions motor and battery box included, but by the ingenious use of multiple gearboxes and clutches, it controls a bewildering array of functions - raising and lowering the jib, extending and retracting it, winding the load up and down, and extending and retracting the stability feet. In some ways, it's an excellent representation of how a real-life crane would work, which could use a single engine for all of this with similar gearing. There are lots of other realistic features, like an engine with moving pistons and four-wheel steering. In terms of overall complexity, this is up there with the Ultimate sets like the Chiron and the 911 GT3. The set can also be used to build a mobile pile-driver - as is the norm for this, you need to download the instructions for the second model as a PDF from the LEGO website. (One nice feature of the pile-driver model is that it re-uses the entire chassis of the crane; you just need to remove the crane itself from the wheeled base, and rebuild the crane section on top of the same base - it makes building the second model much easier as you don't have to dismantle all of the crane first!)In terms of build time, I reckon it would take an experienced builder somewhere in the region of 15 hours - you get the usual clear LEGO instructions, and the sorted bags of parts make life easier than it would otherwise be, but some of the assembly, particularly in the (very complex) gearbox is challenging. Really not a set for beginners, but for anyone who has built something like the Chiron or the bucket wheel excavator and is looking for a new challenge, you won't do better than this hugely impressive model.

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 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.

Things have definitely progressed since my childhood Lego days, that's for sure! If I'd been given a kit this enormous when I was a kid I think I'd have literally exploded with joy.With over four thousand individual pieces and labelled as suited for anyone over 11 years of age, this is a kit that will, in many instances, be purchased by parents for themselves, to re-visit happy childhood memories. It would actually make a wonderful project for parents and children to tackle together, giving them quality time to bond and providing valuable learning opportunities for the child.Happily, stress levels are likely to be kept under control because the kit has been very thoughtfully put together.A large and comprehensive build manual is included, and the project divided into smaller build stages, with pieces for each stage separately bagged. It helps overcome the shorter attention span of younger constructors, and makes this an enjoyable task to spread over a week or so - ideal for the Christmas or a holiday period.I do like the attention to detail, and your child will learn a lot from building this kit. Not only about manual dexterity, reading, following instructions, the importance of attention to detail, spatial awareness and so on, but also about the mechanics of the object modelled. It contains a motor with power take-off for various functions like extending the crane and lowing the stabilisers, just like a real crane would. And there's a moving model of the engine too, and four wheel steering.Finishing this kit will certainly give you a sense of achievement and pride, which are wonderful things for kids to experience. It can give them great confidence and teach them the valuable life lesson that even huge and apparently daunting tasks can be overcome and mastered with a bit of effort and perseverance. And if they have a taste for more, the kit can even be broken down and re-configured into a pile driver too, with the downloadable instructions from Lego.This kit is larger in size than the Chiron model, and over a hundred pounds cheaper too, plus you get two kits for the price of one. So although it might at first seem expensive, when you consider these things, and all the educational benefits too, it really is very good value for money I think. And what price do you put on quality time with your child? Build this with them and it will be something they remember doing with you for the rest of their lives.

This must be one of the, if not the outright, largest Technic sets LEGO have ever produced. Weighing in at over 4000 pieces I was really pleased to see that this didn't just mean that the model was very detailed, but that it is also HUGE. I like my LEGO models to live up to their box size and that was no problem for the rough terrain crane. I also must give credit to LEGO for the overall look of the vehicle, the design of Technic sets has come a long way over the years and this looks 'finished' rather than a form of cutaway of a recognisable vehicle.The build is quite lengthy and obviously a little fiddly in places, going at about an hour at a time on most days it took me a couple of weeks to complete assembly.Putting together the multiple detailed sections was both interesting and satisfying, in particular the engine, with its moving pistons. It's not for the faint-hearted due to the time and concentration involved, I highly recommend a smaller Technic set to 'warm up' before you have a go at this monster.The power functions are easy to set-up and work well. Using the crane to pick up and move the included pre-fab building sections is a cool inclusion. The one thing which surprised me is that the model doesn't accurately resemble its name, there is no working suspension and although the wheels and tyres are massive, moving the crane over anything other than a flat floor isn't great as the model is very rigid. This is a minor quibble, but bearing in mind the obvious attention which has been put into the model generally it's surprising.You also get full instructions to create a pile driver instead of the crane, which is a nice 2-in-1 inclusion from LEGO but I confess I haven't tried to assemble the second model yet.Considering its size, complexity, functionality and piece count, I think the Rough Terrain Crane is pretty good value. There is a lot to be got out of it regardless of whether you are a huge Technic fan so well worth a look.

When I was a youngster, Lego was a few different shaped bricks in various colours which hurt if you stood on them without shoes on and with which you could make various things that looked a bit like what they were supposed to be.Some time in the early 1970s, I actually came third in a Lego competition run by our local toy shop (remember them...?) and had my 'ship' (it looked nothing like a ship really) displayed with the other entries in their window for a couple of weeks. Marvellous.Lego these days looks a bit more high tech (he said, with huge understatement) and this crane is absolutely incredible. My first thought on opening the massive box was that it reminded me of the Meccano of my youth,but far more detailed.As my fellow reviewers have said, it takes all but a whole day (ie 24 hours) to build, and in my case, this was spread over a week of evenings. It's not complicated, and comes with great instructions, but it is simply very labour intensive.The resulting model looks magnificent and, having recently seen what must be a similarly enormous crane in real life lifting a new road bridge section into place, it's very realistic.I know it's expensive, but if you can afford it, I'm sure you're going to be very happy indeed. My only caveat is once it's assembled, you're going to need enough space to keep it, and if it's on display somewhere, keeping it free of dust will prove challenging.As a final thought, the fun for me of Lego was that you could make lots of different things with the same bricks. This helped to stimulate the minds of youngsters and in my case led firstly to Airfix kits, on to model railways and eventually a lifetime involved in engineering of one sort and another. Is it possible with models such as this, brilliant though it is, that the original concept has lost its way a bit?But regardless of that, this kit is fantastic and I've no hesitation in recommending it to you.

The biggest Technic set yet, which was enough to get me over-excited, but not necessarily the best set yet. From the front of the box it just looks like a bigger crane, and I was prepared for it to be a rather underwhelming experience.I should have trusted the Technic team better, as this is a doozy. A 360-degree turntable, five motor functions from a single large motor, and a one metre boom. And with a single motor that means a LOT of gears to direct the motion and step it down.The five motor functions are: outrigger, turntable, boom extension, boom raise & lower and hook raise & lower.There is also manual control of the four-wheel steering.What a beauty to build,and when finished a beauty to behold.The instructions have well over 1,000 steps, but as usual it is sufficiently modular for you to shop and start over several days. There are 13 bags of pieces, each for a specific stage of the construction.The gearbox is fiddly, and needs close attention, and throughout the build there are challenges, but it is no more difficult than the other large sets. Mostly it is just a joy at the design solutions the Technic team have come up with, especially the huge powered turntable.All that said, this is not the best Technic set yet, but it IS one of them. I personally can't choose between this and the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245 (set 42043) with its amazing pneumatics. They can't really be compared as they are different beasts using different technical solutions.A fantastic set through, and well worth serious consideration

If your son is a Technic crazed Lego builder this will keep him busy for a few days. This set is truly outstanding, it has close to 4057 pieces and is an impressive Crane when fully built. Do not let the price put you off, this is worth every penny at the current price.You get allot of pieces, intricate pieces at this price and Lego are excellent at replacing pieces if things go a miss. This build took my son three days, of roughly 7-8 hours a day, carefully putting it together, it is a challenging build and he really enjoyed building it. He mentioned how great the instructions are and that most children around 10+ should be fine building this as long as they have built Technic models before.The large motor means you can control the crane arm to pick items up.There is so much detail in this build, it is truly astounding. The thought into this model is brilliant. The functions and actions are 4-wheel steering,4-wheel drive, detailed V8 engine and moving pistons with a nice orange fan.When you have finished the build it does look impressive and moves well, any teenager would love this set. It really helps the child think and build other vehicles and structures. As with most of the Lego sets this is 2-in-1 and you can go online and build the other set if you so wish. So, it is a bargain when you think about it in this sense.Brilliant set by Lego and looks fabulous when finished.

Oh my how amazing is this.Lego has yet again surpassed itself both in design and in fun.Highly recommended for that amazing son, hubby or partner In Your life.Lego has designed and enabled my hubby to smile. No missing pieces. An amazing result, easy to use and building and works like. Charm.If ever you do buy a Lego set with missing parts it is perfectly Simple to email or contact them for the required missing parts which will be In Your possession within 48 hours. Absolutely amazing to build these keep your loved ones engrossed for days. They work like a charm and are most awesome to say the least.Price wise they are a very considered purchase and one which at over two hundred pounds would strike fear into anyone’s heart.Would make an excellent Christmas gift for a very special person or a very significant birthday gift. There re many older models of Lego technical range gifts out there which are cheaper as they are aging and might be more appropriate price wise. If your looking to blow someone’s mind believe me this gift would do exactly....it doesn’t disappoint.Care and attention to detail are spot one, quality control and excellence second to none, price very very considered purchase.Recommend yes, don’t hesitate.

i have not played seriously with lego for 40 years ,apart from basic things with my grandchildren , i am disabled and in bad health and in need for something to occupy my mind and time, on my birthday 2 weeks ago i did not know what to think when my family bought me the technics rough terrain crane when i looked at the size of the box the amount of packets and how thick the instruction manuals are i was worried to say the least .i sat down and began packet 1 and was really happy how clear everything is the manual very clear in where things go and pegs coloured i made progress in no time apart from the odd peg the wrong way round which is usually easy to see when you try to put the next pieceon it and it wont fir the peg shape i am doing 1 to 2 hrs a time and making great progress i love it im about half way in all that i made two mistakes but when spotted were easy to rectify in a short time , technic is not like normal lego blocks but is so fantastic ,how this is designed so great . cannot wait to finish then pick one out of a mounting list i have to do , fatastic lego include adult things too , the prices range from around £10 to £550 somthing for everyone ,i would recommend lego technics without a second thought .

This appears to be a pricey item, and indeed it is a lot to pay for something which is ‘a toy’, but, having built the model I can say that in my view it’s worth the money. Every step of the construction is illustrated in the instruction books. As you build, step by step, it is impossible not to be amazed at the ingenuity of design and the attention to detail. The vehicle axles have differential gearing: you can fiddle with it as you build and really understand how a “diff” works. The gearing built into the rest of the model allows you, once it is finished, to direct the electric motor to 5 separate functions, all of which operate in ‘forward’ and ‘reverse ‘.The functions are: raise and lower jib; extend and retract jib; raise and lower crane hook; swing jib clockwise or anti-clockwise; raise/lower stabilisers. On the box it says that there is another model you can build from the same parts, though you have to download the instructions for that from Lego’s website.I reckon the 11+ age rating is accurate, provided that the 11 year old has patience. It took me about 12 hours, and I’m considerably older than 11.

my wife got me this for xmas from our local lego shop, she said I might have fun with it ??? , little did she know I would have had so much fun with this monster of a build , this is a big and beautiful project and not for the faint hearted , just to think of the man hours that went into the development and design it boggles the mind, if you have the money and the space I would highly (actually demand) you get this simply for pleasure of watching this develop in front of your eyes and saying to yourself "I built this" , you will not be dissapointed.Just a little bit a advice to all , follow the instructions to the letter ,if in any doubt double check the placement of any pegs on the pictures that they match what you have built also check some of the more unusual pieces that they are the right way round , I speak from bitter experience as I misplaced some of the small black pegs and had some of the later stages upside down and it took a lot of swearing and rebuilding to get it sorted but in the end one of the most impressive Lego kits ever issued ( and the most challenging)

In summery: A highly recommended build experience, and fantastic value for the money.The awesome experience starts from point you collect or have box delivered, it’s huge, and you immediately feel your experiencing something special. I took my time with build doing limited sections at a time. The build and mechanics increasingly impressed making set worth the experience for that alone (even if your not a massive crane fan). Bravo to the designers. Personally, nothing I can fault with set. 1 piece missing during build, here again Lego re-affirmed their quality brand image, part ordered within minutes arriving about a week later with small Lego embossed plastic bag... simples.All in all a great experience end to end with great functions that further enhanced value for money (yes, even at my age, the inner child came out forcing experiments to test boom lifting capabilities across retracted/extended positions).A must have In my humble opinion for any Technic fan. From a pure building experience perspective, I am eager to see how Lego can beat... Thank you for reading.
