Dump Truck Reviews
Brickset
“Other than the out-of-place dark blue panels on the cab, it's a decent-looking model and perfectly functional for its size. There isn't a lot here to appeal to AFOLs but if you're looking for something to add to your basket in order to reach a GWP threshold you could do... More worse.”

“The LEGO Technic Dump Truck is a fun and engaging set that takes about 45 minutes to build. While it’s marked as 7+, younger kids can enjoy it with some help, making it a great parent-child activity. The working dump bed and steering features add to the excitement, making it a perfect introduction to LEGO Technic for anyone who loves dump trucks. Highly recommended.”

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.
