| 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Most Awesome Lego Technic Set Ever!, By wrench_turner (Concord, NC United States) - See all my reviews = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Technic Mobile Crane (Toy) I am a 30 year old AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego) and have been eagerly awaiting this set since seeing the preview pictures. I must say I was not disappointed when it arrived. Functions include 6-wheel steering (manually operated), extending/retracting outriggers (manually operated) a 6 cylinder engine with pistons that move in and out when the model is rolled on a surface, Pneumatic boom elevation, motorized hoist up/down and 3-section boom extension. The boom can also be (manually) rotated 360 degrees.This is a set with many functions that will delight mechanical minded folks both young and old. Build time was around 8 hours, and I have assembled many large Technic sets. If this is your first time it may take longer. The capacity of the crane isn't very much for its size, but it is really designed to showcase mechanical functions more than do actual work. This set also builds a cherry-picker type aerial lift truck (bucket truck) that looks...

And get it I did. It might be a bit pricey, and personally I don't like motorized pieces because of uncertainty (might go kaputt anytime), but this sure is a looker! However it is not all perfect, IMHO; the outriggers could have been made more powerful (how so is another matter). The turntable could have been geared. There could have been another pair of wheels (imagine). There could have been suspension in the wheels. And the dummy steering wheel in front looks rather ridiculous. But nonetheless this is still a master piece. What's next, a giant fire engine? Count me in! 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful Third lego crane - keep em comin, By Don "AFOL/MBA" (Eastern VA) - See all my reviews This review is from: LEGO Technic Mobile Crane (Toy) Another AFOL here. I bought this for my own Christmas present, needed to wait 7 weeks, and finally got to put it together over the spring. There are gobs of nice parts, and the crane does a very good job teaching mechanical concepts. As a learning tool it is a great value. As a parts tool it is a very good value.From shelf appeal, its better then ... well, a lot of things come to mind! One thing that is quite odd. The crane hook goes up and down w/ the boom as the boom extends. I reassembled the motor assembly twice, and the box indicates that they are separate control functions. Very odd. Steering is really neat, motor is fun, dual boom is spiffy, outriggers could have been a bit better, and it would not have been that hard to put a mechanical device in to turn the turntable ... This crane is a real step up from its 100.00 cousin... and my 4.75 yr old loves it! |
