Someone at Lego is having a laugh…
…all the way to the bank. At us, the suckers that paid such a crazy price for such an underwhelming set. The price is “wow,” while the set is a solid “meh.”

much toooooo expensive
A lovely excuvator with decent functions but with a nasty hefty price tag Lego just lets prices get out of control

This marks a change
I am a huge Lego fan. I have been collecting new Lego sets for more than 10 years now and have hundreds of sets. However this particular set was one I was really looking forward to because I missed out on 8043 and I grew up near a subdivision under development. I can cope with Lego raising their prices, however I did not expect them to lower the quality as well. I have since purchased my very first off brand brick hyper car and cannot believe the value for money. As there are many developing creative alternatives around I will now be comparing value before I make my purchases. Truly unfortunate, I would never have looked around if Lego had not diminished the quality. I doubt I will ever buy Lego exclusively again.

Customer review from LEGO
Was expecting more + a missing part...
For the price I paid, I was expecting more. While the functionality that is there is nicely situated in a control panel and the gearing is always fascinating to witness during the build, I must agree with other reviewers that the lack of mobility and no function for swinging the arm was a real minus. Just one medium sized motor?? And the functions are so slow as to make playing with the set meaningless. I love LEGO and until recently, LEGO'S ingenuity set it apart from the Chinese sets like Mould King, but they are catching up VERY fast. On top of all this, the set was missing a part that stopped construction until I found a similar piece in another set that I could borrow. I'm still waiting for the part from Denmark.

Response from LEGO
Thank you for your review. We're sorry that your new set is not what you had expected it to be and that you had a piece missing. It's certainly not the experience we want our fans to have. We appreciate the feedback and will make sure that it's passed on.
Glad I read the reviews first
I'll admit I haven't got this set, however, that's due to all the 1 star reviews highlighting the poor value for money. Lego, please take all the feedback into account for future sets. Don't lose adult fans because of prices, which are increasing whilst quality of the products is reducing. There are lots of 2nd sets and Lego out there which offer far, far better value than this set, which doesn't offer anything that new or different.

Nice build
I have read the reviews and decided ti buy something else. But realty changed my mind at the lego shop! I believe it is a great kit, made me get to into the crane theme of LEGO. Currently looking to find more motorised kits to build! It needs a certain skill to build though!
