If kids want to dig in Lego, they've probably got a box full of parts to dig in that'll work much better than a few pieces included here. Colour coding to easily find the little piece with the right function is understandable for the same reason but I wouldn't mind to spend a little bit more time to have a better looking model in the end. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. As for the instructions, the book does not include instructions for the B-model; instead, those are available online only.

Put it this way: people are complaining about the windscreen for much the same reason people are complaining about the blue pins. However, thinking that this would primarily be aimed at the younger demographic I think it would have been better for them (and not only) to make it minifig scale since it's already close to it.LEGO components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and form a secure connection every time – it’s been that way since 1958. Overall, I really like this particular construction vehicle Lego set because it comes with realistic functions. The operator’s seat is my favorite spot of the whole build, featuring a neat seat and a very suitable semi-transparent panel as a windscreen.

I always use these reviews to help decide if I want to spend my money on a set or not, and in general because I am a fan of Lego.Contact Us LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, and the Brick and Knob configurations are trademarks of the LEGO Group of Companies. Another, probably even easier, method is to put an axle-pin into the end of a liftarm and use it to push the 3L axle-pins out of their places. There’s no such thing as a boring outside activity; there are only boring machines that make things dull and tedious.

Parts arrive in four numbered bags and a small sticker sheet is provided to decorate the panels with realistic details. Children can explore the authentic cabin and control panel to recreate everyday life on a construction site with this cool excavator. Sure, the arm is a similar function, but the rest of the vehicle looks great and completely different. There's a couple extra in each, so you do still have to count (or just see what fits) but it's still nicer than having them all mixed in.com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect reliably every time – it's been that way since 1958. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or 'just because' gift, young construction fans will love building and exploring this 2-in-1 LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Excavator (42121) toy set. As for the model’s inability to pick up the parts provided, looks like you’ve got the scoop on that!

You've already got the mini-LA to adjust the boom angle, and then use the second knob to drive a spool of string. As a Lego model it is really good and enjoyable to put together but if there is a slight complaint it is with the name and the way it is advertised, it seams a bit on the small side compared to the car transporter. With the authentic cabin and control panel to explore, it's easy for kids to imagine life on a construction site with this cool excavator toy.But I'm into LEGO for 48 years and I dislike that I almost spend as much time in turning pages as actually adding pieces as the instructions are so dumb these days. They are part of the Technic aesthetic and we would all be a lot poorer, time-wise, if every pin was black! It's pretty much impossible to pick the beams up without the 'hand of God' assisting, though, because they are too light and frictionless, so move about when you attempt to scoop them up. They mention it's a quality product, very nice build, excellent Lego product, and enjoyable to put together. But these actually serve different functions - tan are frictionless and provide easy swinging motions, black have the most friction and allow something to be placed in and hold a position more.
