“All of the foregoing is a roundabout way of telling you that 42006 is a fine set. It's not a substitute for 8043, but it's certainly the second-best excavator, and I don't mind the sacrifice of simpler, fewer functions and a skimpier appearance at this price point. It does... More what it needs to.”

“I think this is a really nice model. There are many pretty clever solutions with the gears and how the axles are drawn. However the body is pretty light and because of this it won't be able to lift much weight without tipping over. Overall a good-looking machine with lots of... More gears and of cours LAs are always great.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Excavator set 42006 was released on December 28, 2012, retailing for $80, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $207, used ones can be found for $64.
