“This set will take you some time to finish but it's completely worth it! It has lots of various working parts and pieces which you can use not just to build the 2 models proposed but as many other models as you can imagine.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The set's realism and functionality, from the outriggers and cherry picker to the innovative gear systems, impressed me greatly. The new wheel design and the seamless build process, excluding the rotating parts, contribute to its appeal. The cherry picker's ability to move vertically and rotate fully, alongside the truck's steering feature, enhance its play value.”
 

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.
