Collector and Investor Standing
Collectors have plenty to like in the crawler: its remote controlled steering, powered wheels and extreme suspension make it a proper Technic machine for rough ground. Investors see a tougher case, since the Technic theme has grown slowly over the years, even with all that hardware aboard.

“The 4x4 Crawler from the Lego Technic series is another very well-made model, although its looks need some getting used to. But once you have built it, you become an immediate fan of the model. The assembly is sometimes a bit boring. Today's building instructions are so... More detailed that no mistakes can be made at all, which is actually a pity, because Lego Technic loses a lot of its appeal. In addition, the undercarriage is identical on all four wheels, i.e. nearly the same unit is built up 4 times. Unfortunately, this top model from 2012 has only a few functions, so Lego made it radio-controlled.”

“So in summary this thing does everything you might expect a LEGO rock crawler to do. OK, it is not as fast or capable as a real R/C rock crawler, but those are made of metal, put together with screws, and not at all suitable for younger children. This thing will keep the... More kids busy for years, and the adults as well. If I take this to work, all the engineers will lose productivity for days as they study it.”
