LEGO Technic Rough Terrain Crane 42082 Building Kit (4,057 Pieces)

Caveat: I am half-way through the process of building this (spending ~1 hour per week for 1.5 months). I highly recommend this set for the enjoyable build process, the educational aspects of seeing and manipulating the mechanisms, and the quality of the parts. Nearly every time I sit down to work on it, I find something else that pleasantly surprises me, whether with how different components combine so smoothly, or with how helpful it can be to build and play with a mechanism to understand how it works. I have had no missing parts so far, and every part has been well made, fitting together like it should. I have tried to work on the set with my 5 and 7 year old children, but they tend to get bored quickly, so this set is probably better suited to older children or adults.

Es el segundo lego technic que armo y esta brutal, las imágenes en internet no le hacen justicia, es más grande de lo que aparenta, la construcción es muy divertida (toma alrededor de 15hrs armarlo) y una vez terminado las funciones que tiene son muy buenas, muy recomendado

Awesome LEGO project. This was my first Technics build. I’ve had LEGOs when I was a kid, but never anything like this. The instructions are well done. Full page just for 1 step in some cases. With all that extra page space, they could have made the blue area with the parts breakdown a little larger. Sometimes it’s hard to see the difference between 2 tiny black pieces or even grey ones that look a little bit black in the picture. I knew this had a lot of tiny pieces, so put a border around my table using 3/16 weather strip tape. Then used double sided tape on the surface of the table for knolling the pieces, which really was the best part of the build. I spent about an hour or so each night working and taking my time, double checking and sometimes triple checking each step, but unfortunately somewhere along the way, I missed something. The crane doesn’t rotate under its own power. Switching the turntable switch to clockwise or counterclockwise doesn’t engage the rotating mechanism. If u manually turn the gears on the bottom of the crane with the switch engaged it does turn all the gears back to the motor. Set the switch to neutral and the gears disengage from the motor and give less resistance. So somewhere around step 105, you should verify that flipping one of the 2 levers on the bottom assembly should engage the top black gear and turntable. Mine didn’t do anything, I just assumed that a later step would engage the 360 degree rotation, rather than just spinning freely. Maybe they could add some verbage to the instruction manual to check for proper assembly and movement at certain steps, since the whole manual is just pictures. I’m not sure if there is an easy way to fix this without taking the whole thing apart, back to step one, which is the assembly of the crane rotation. Oh well, still a fun build. Kept me entertained for several weeks. I highly recommend building one if you have the means, it is a little pricey for something to just sit on the shelf. It would have been nice to see this as remote control and drive it around the house. I would have enjoyed that more, but I knew that it wasn’t before I started.

Super entretenido. Uno de los mejores modelos Lego

This being a Lego Techic, I was expecting it to be operable from the Lego app on my smart phone. Not so. All the functions do work, but you have to manually select them by shifting different levers on the transmission, which is a marvel in itself. So many gears and shafts make for a very complicated build. Driving and steering are hand powered only. It does make for an impressive display piece.
