Was going to give this four starts because the first box was missing pieces. Luckily it was at the beginning of the build no more than 50 pieces in and was able to return with no issue so I'm giving it a five star. When the second order arrived, we found that the first box was missing a bag of at least 30+ pieces. My 9 year old built this without any issue. Lego bricks are easy to assemble. The crane is sturdy and he actually plays with it and uses the iPad as the remote. He's played with this more than the roller coaster set 10261 that he built 3 years ago, and that was a fun set to play with too. These large lego sets are pricey but he practices life skills when building this set, such as focus, patience and sense of achievement. Plus he's not watching you tube. Read more
Took about 16 hours to build. All the pieces were there including some extras. Can be a little challenging to use with the app, but once you learn the controls it’s simple. Lots of detail goes into it, especially with hand tying in all the strings. A little on the expensive side but this is massive and heavy duty once all put together. Read more
Excellent set, but very pricey. If you can afford it, it’s an entertaining build. FYI, The finished model takes up a lot of space to display and more to operate. Lego’s are always well designed and this is no exception ! Read more
Excellent model. Lego & Technic make a great product. Well built, strong, motors have plenty of power. Great instructions, every piece and a few extras, all packaged nicely. Great working model to build, strongly recommend! Read more
Awesome build. Great quality. Not to difficult to assemble. Good value. Read more
This lego set is huge. I can't justify the price but its a gift for my dad and I'm enjoying the building process. This set is perfect for people who love construction and building legos but it's really expensive. Read more
Such a cool build Read more
This was a challenging build which was a lot of fun. It’s a large build, ensure you have a good working space set aside. Depending on your allotted time per build session, plan on multiple days of build. I spent a few hours over a couple rainy Saturdays to complete it. If you’re purchasing for a young kid or planning to work with yours, this one might be a tough one for them. I was surprised that for the cost of this crane, I consistently found to be missing a part (usually small) or two when getting to the end of the numbered bags. I kept having to go into the next set of bags to find a replacement, eventually having to make some alternate choices at the end to finish the build. I’ve heard from friends who also have this crane, they’ve also had to go get missing parts from Lego. Aside from that, I really enjoyed this crane. I am planning to modify the crane (starting with boom and jib). There are quite a few folks online working on alternate boom combinations and building these up to 9FT tall. Should be continued fun beyond the initial build with so many options to modify. Read more
