LEGO®LEGO Technic Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator 42215, 2359 Pieces
Product details
Web ID: 23269047Good but a bit slow
When I got this set it had been a LONG time sins I put a Lego technic together and I wasn’t disappointed. It is well designed and set out. The instructions were well illustrated (as you'd expect) even if I did miss a pin I could see where I had went wrong and put it right. Haw all the gears worked to make it move is amazing. But move fast it does not. Bust saying that it will probably just sit on my shelf when I set it to haw I want it to look.

Money well spent
Read reviews after purchasing and I was a little concerned. The poor reviews were a bit surprising considering the reviews of the other products I have purchased were so high. I’ve read the negative reviews and my experience doesn’t reflect them at all. I’ve done multiple Technic builds and this was on par with all of them. During the build I was waiting to run into issues that would, in my eyes, justify the poor reviews but I never came across them. It’s not cheap but definitely worth the money and I would recommend.

Excellent build
Don’t listen to the other bad reviews. If you like diggers, technics and have time then this is the perfect build for you. Enjoyed every step building this beauty and goes well with my other collection.

Amazing
My son said he loved building this Volvo Excavator. The only negative was for the buster to be motorized, but overall, 5 stars.

An enjoyable built with a disappointing end result
The final drive ratio kinda ruins anything that could potentially be enjoyable. Really not much you can do with one motor. Really expensive for what you get. Not sure why they'd even produce this one

It’s a nice build
I got the set for my 25th birthday and honestly I loved the build experience, it kept me occupied for a few hours and hits a seriously nice and cruisy build! Yes when it’s operating it is a bit slow but this is a great build and looks great on my shelf with the other Volvo sets! I’d highly recommend it.

Solid Build
This set was a fun build and fun to play with. It is a down grade over app controlled models and this can only do one function at a time. The box came damaged and several of the bags were open, but all pieces were present.
Great base build, falls short on finesse
The base idea is great, and the mechanics are mostly good. Some build steps are needlessly complex or unclear - many errors can be made during the build. There is a motor, cleverly hidden, poorly used. There is a 'clutch' mechanism to operate 4 functions, but only one at a time - but that is easy to mod with a different part. The attachment mechanics didn't need to be motorized and could of been used for the drill bit instead. With small improvements, this could of been much better
