“8053 is a fantastic set, whether you like playing with the original model, learning tricks from it or collecting the raw material and occasional special parts for your other designs. Although we've seen a number of various Lego cranes throughout the years, this one easily... More manages to feel fresh.”

“For a set in this price range and part count, the designer did a great job. And I must say it was nice to build something more straightforward. Nothing too complex, no wasting time on little details. It felt almost as a relief. The functions all work smooth.”
