“I would definitively recommend this set. It has good playability, 252 parts (of which 56 are tread links) and a good parts pack also. You get 10 new parts in total and a total number of 17 gears (of 7 different types).”

Best of the small Technic excavators — “Overall, I would have to recommend this set very highly. While the A and B models have similar functions, the A model functions work much better and have a more "Technic" feel to them, since the control knobs are located farther away from the parts they activate. The... More playability of the A model is very good, at least for its size. The boom, dipper arm, and bucket functions work smoothly.”

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 Compact Excavator set 8047 was released on December 30, 2009, retailing for $25, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $146, while used sets sell around $21.
