Retailer reviews
Summarized retailer review data when available.
LEGO is usually like this, and this particular set is no exception. It guarantees a lot of fun. However, building it does take some time.
Fun excavator, even more fun if you buy the motor separately. The instructions in the booklet show you how to build the motor. The motor only operates the excavator part. My son was disappointed that the excavator cannot drive on the motor. You also need to insert 6 batteries into the motor.
LEGO itself indicates that this set is a replacement for set 8043. I have both sets and must say that this one is less. The construction itself is less stable, especially when you fully open or close the gripper. At that moment, the entire gripper goes up and down. It is also a shame that you have to buy the motor (set 8293) separately. Now it seems like this is not a fun set, but it is, but there are a few caveats. Therefore, I give it 3 stars.
