Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by starstreak

Being the biggest Technic set of the year, they did a good job. But a few minor problems like the crane not being able to rotate 360 degree when folded, bothered me. Then again, maybe the real rig you could only compact it and not rotate it to save space.

The picture on the box does not do this set much justice. The set has an extensive number of special technic parts (gears, connectors, liftarms). It is also the first set that uses a motorized turntable (the second was the 8043) excavator. Wether you build the lego models or are into MOCs, this is definitely a must-have set.

All in all, I'd have to say that this is an excellent alternate model. It was good enough to convince me to buy an extra copy just for this. [Editor's note: this review is about the B model.]
