Here’s a fun construction toy for boys, girls and any fan of building site vehicles. With their trusty LEGO® Technic™ Backhoe Loader (42197) toy, kids aged 7 and up will be ready for any construction job! This fun set lets young builders role-playlots of different building-site tasks. Wheel the loader into position and lower the outriggers for extra support. Turn the knob to move the front scoop up and down. Then try out the rear digger to tackle the next building site task. LEGO Technic vehicle sets features realistic movement to introduce young LEGO builders to the universe of engineering. This set makes a great gift for kids who love loaders, excavators and digger toys.

My 4 yr old carries it around with him. Only a few pieces fall off so it holds together quite well.

LEGO is always a plus.
Super fun gift for children who enjoy playing with LEGO.
Very happy
My grandson was very happy with this new LEGO excavator!
Very Good
My 4 yr old carries it around with him. Only a few pieces fall off so it holds together quite well.
Very happy grandchild.
It was a gift and the grandson was very happy with it.
Nice
Funny excavator, simple but worth the money.
Awesome set, Movable, Prefer mods
Build was easy but fun, low challenge. The design is impressive with posable features for the front bucket and the back scoop. Personally I modded the back; Opting to take the 5 space piece from the back onto the second half of the scoop. (think it looks better) and took the red piece out from the back for more maneuverability. I took a technic piece from a different set so that the scoop is posable with the round piece vs locked red piece. (the piece i took from the other set was pictured below). But overall incredible build for an incredible price.
backhoe loader
i use this bad boy to display by business cards and it is a fun little display. fun build, fun to toy around with, good price would recomend
Model of a construction site
This model fits very nicely into my collection of crane and earthmoving models. It is also a simple model, but it still incorporates a nice piece of technology. It is also easy to build.
Perfect for playing
My son absolutely loved this toy added it to the rest of his construction toys to play with
