“My overall verdict is that in terms of the number of parts, the mechanical design, the looks and the shear playable fun this set is well worth the money. I think that this is a worthy addition to the long line of Lego cranes.”

“An interesting build with a clever gearbox, would have liked to have seen longer string so that the boom could have been made longer. Lots of pieces left over which i presume are for the 'B' model although as yet there are no build instructions published.”

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 Crawler Crane set 42042 was released on August 2, 2015, retailing for $150, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $328, while used sets sell around $155.
