LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 Model Kit - Bedroom or Office Decor for Adults, Ages 18+ - Building Blocks for Adults to Display - Gift Ideas - 42146

This was a challenging build which was a lot of fun. It’s a large build, ensure you have a good working space set aside. Depending on your allotted time per build session, plan on multiple days of build. I spent a few hours over a couple rainy Saturdays to complete it. If you’re purchasing for a young kid or planning to work with yours, this one might be a tough one for them.I was surprised that for the cost of this crane, I consistently found to be missing a part (usually small) or two when getting to the end of the numbered bags. I kept having to go into the next set of bags to find a replacement, eventually having to make some alternate choices at the end to finish the build. I’ve heard from friends who also have this crane, they’ve also had to go get missing parts from Lego.Aside from that, I really enjoyed this crane. I am planning to modify the crane (starting with boom and jib). There are quite a few folks online working on alternate boom combinations and building these up to 9FT tall. Should be continued fun beyond the initial build with so many options to modify.

Awesome build. The mast is a little repetitious but the rest is a lot of fun. The motors and controls are awesome!

It’s worth every penny. The build process may seem slow but it wasn’t. Very sturdy very well built. The controls are really simple. Very fun build. Ladies if you husband or kids like legos. This is the set for them

It's a Lego Product and in a typical Lego box. One thing I have noted is there are bags 1 thru 5 in one box, within the prime Lego box; and then there are 4 boxes of Lego pieces. Lego pieces in boxes I have not seen before (always been divided by bags) and I have built a few of the major Lego's such as Titanic, and a couple of other cranes. So as you progress through at least bag #1, it will call for pieces from the boxes. There is an icon in the book that indicates the pieces required for the next step come from a box. Although the boxes are not numbered or referenced by a number in the books, there are pics of the pieces within the boxes on each box so you know which box to go for the required items. The 2 hubs included required firmware updates but via my iPhone with the Technic app were flawless and easily accomplished. I am still in the early part of the build but still, all in all; a great build as we would expect from a Lego product. No problems with the order process and because it was prime, it arrived when forecast. So no complaints here. Would definitely recommend if your getting this for your child, to exercise some adult supervision or it would make an awesome build to do together. The choose users age for this review only goes as high as 13+. in my opinion, for this build, I would say 15+. For reference, I am 71 and still loving and building Lego's!!! Enjoy!!!

I love it, it was a good challenge for me. I've received the Lego kit begin of May and finished it on the Memorial Day weekend. The most challenging part of the build was running the cables .

Best set i have ever built

BEWARE OF REPORTING MORE THAN A SINGLE MISSING PIECE, and I said MISSING and NOT BROKEN OR LOST because LEGO will cancel the order and INFER that you had to have LOST or BROKEN the missing pieces beyond the first. This Crane had 2883 pieces ($594). I didn't find a missing piece until about 2/3 of the way through the build. I placed an order for that and was told it was shipped. Then, today, i encountered yet 3 MORE missing pieces....while trying to build segments that could NOT be connected because of the missing pieces. If I can't count on having all the pieces needed, then I'll not be purchasing ANY more LEGO products. This is not the first missing pieces issue that I've encountered. Interesting that I can have anywhere from 6-10 extra pieces that were not needed when I'm done, but if I have more than a single missing piece, LEGO's assertion is that I've lost them or broken them and the missing piece is MY FAULT and RESPONSIBILITY. Sorry LEGO, for the money you charge for the individual sets, you should be over-nighting missing pieces when they happen.UPDATE 4/8/25....After reaching out to LEGO, they made the effort to resolve all of the issues I had with obtaining replacement pieces. We'll see what actually shows up in the mail. One of the last emails I received from a support/service representative was VERY interesting and GOOD TO KNOW. AND I QUOTE FROM THEIR EMAIL TO ME: "Please know purchases from Amazon at times can be from a third party seller, which does not fit into our replacement piece policies and we may not always be able to replace them for free."SO, APPARENTLY, IF A THIRD PARTY SELLER (NOT AMAZON) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FULFILLING AN ORDER FOR LEGO PRODUCTS, IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT LEGO WILL NOT CONSIDER IT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE MISSING PARTS FOR FREE. I guess that the safest way to guarantee free replacement of missing pieces is purchasing your LEGO sets directly from LEGO. SO, I learned something today.

Assembly a little tricky but not to difficult. Am having a blast with it! Now LEGO I need a heavy haul beam truck set to go with it!
