Recommendation: meh 4.81 / 5 from 42 reviews

At 92 years of age, I find building the more complex Legos, with gears, etc. very entertaining, and I am convinced that it keeps me from descending into Dementia.. It takes me several weeks or a month to build a Technic model , but I only work on them a few hours a day. I do not have the hand dexterity or the eyesight of my great grandsons. I appreciate the numbering of the packages so I can find the parts as needed.

My overall verdict is that in terms of the number of parts, the mechanical design, the looks and the shear playable fun this set is well worth the money. I think that this is a worthy addition to the long line of Lego cranes.
