Excavator Transporter Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As a City set, 4203 LEGO Excavator Transporter is a good investment and has been slightly outperforming a typical City set with an average annual growth hovering around 8%. While not the best year over year return for this theme, it still is not a bad investment for collectors.”

“Mainly for the lack of new build idea, but still worth buying for City fans, especially who like construction scenes.”

“I've never been disappointed by a Lego set and there's nothing new in that regard here. It's probably a touch on the expensive side but considering that you get the truck, tag trailer, and the excavator plus a couple of decent minifigs, the price is ok. I definitely think... More this has some playability as well. The arm on the excavator is fun to play with and I know that little three-stick set of dynamite will get used as well.”
