LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck 42128 with Crane Toy Model Building Set, Engineering for Kids Series

Bought one for each of my sons ages 15 and 27. They both loved building this. Was worth the money no doubt. Neither of them wanted to mess with lighting kit I bought separately.

There's a lot going on in this set. If you're looking for Lego with pneumatic (air pump) elements, there aren't many choices and both of them are cranes. The other one is less than half the number of pieces but it's still at least two-thirds the price of this set.This set comes with the pneumatic elements and a cool crane, plus a truck with steering, big tires, and a cool six piston engine. It feels like it has a lot more going on, which means it's more fun to build, and when you're finished playing with the truck, there are more pieces to make something else with. As Lego's price-per-piece keeps going up, I'm always happy to find a set like this that is better value, even at full price. At the moment it's discounted about 15%, which makes it even better.*UPDATE*Now fully assembled, we can report no missing pieces. The set is even cooler than first thought, with great packaging of the pneumatics and gears within the truck body. The pieces that crank the stabilizers into place are really well used. It was a bit tricky to assemble in places, but recommended for most 9 - 12 year olds.

I did mine a little different. The set up was packed perfectly. All the bags divided up based on the step you're on made it really organized considering this is over 2,000 pieces. The fact this has air powered lines and parts is awesome. It gets a little technical to build but worth it. I also bought the light kit for it and that is what I did differently. I used the lights to light the boo and cat walk up. I based this off the actual 50 ton I drive and the lo action of the lights. It looks way better to but a light on the boom to see what yourpicking up. It holds pretty good. Its picking up my cell phone in the photos.

Liked how it looked when done, was not impressed by my know it all 11 yo telling me what to do

So I bought this tow truck for my hubby. He works for a Towing company and when I saw this I had to get it for him. was so excited when he got it. It was so much fun to watch him put it together . This tow truck is amazing it's huge all the pieces move and work just like a regular tow truck would but it's just tiny. I would highly recommend anyone get this for anyone themselves boyfriend husband it was a great gift and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's into anything like these.

This thing took me forever to finally get together but it is so cool. Probably the neatest Lego build our family has done to date and we have a bunch of different builds. Very cool. Make sure you have time and a place to store it bc it will take some time to assemble.

Super awesome seeing how the pneumatic hoses and pistons work, just for that fact alone I'd recommend it.Such an awesome build

This was a fun set that my wife and I spent 3 days putting together. It was a lot of fun, this is the first set we've done with pneumatics.The kit was missing a piece, which is annoying, but I don't feel like contacting support for it.Also, the kit, which is the most expensive we've ever purchased, didn't come with a brick separator tool, which was really unusual. Even $40 kits that we've bought came with the tool
