Even with only early parts, 855 manages to do the important crane-y things like lifting and extending the boom and hoisting stuff; slewing's manual and the stabilisers are fiddly to deploy and seem flimsy but it performs reasonably well. There's many more types of crane illustrated on its box as well, all of which are many times better than the weak and uni-functional tipper lorry you get instructions for.
