Recommendation: meh 9 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

I am glad I bought this. Its real strength lies in its… strength, and it's clearly been engineered to be useful and playable, and not just decorative; its compromises are all made in the direction of playability and robustness and for that I applaud it. LEGO's best crane, bar none.

Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by Cwetqo

I shifted opinions several times over this set, but after finishing it, I'm impressed. 8421 finally got decent successor, which is in most parts even better.

This set has lots of nice features that are easy to miss. All of the doors can be opened - the two on the main truck body as well as for the operator of the boom arm in the top cabin. Also, the steering wheel can easily be fixed and moved to the correct right hand side of the truck.
