In any case I'll probably get it, build it once, maybe also try the B model but then break it down for parts.

I'm not a fan of System parts in Technic sets so thankfully they've been used sparingly, for the seat in the cab and to add additional texture and shaping to the bodywork. First the excavator arm is built, then the bodywork is added around it before building the tracked chassis and mounting the body upon it. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . When kids are ready for a new challenge, the 2-in-1 toy model rebuilds into a tracked tractor with a backhoe.While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms. Stuff like the licensed cars where there's some basic functionality, but what actually makes the set special is the fact that it's a porsche or a Jeep or a Maclaren. I hope these soft plastic tracks survive over time as I have always had problems with these breaking in the past at the connection, which is why TLG moved onto the larger stronger solid plastic grey ones in the previous version 8294.

Nevertheless, the limited play possibilities are compensated by the very nice design of the model body. I would also say that it is quite similar to the Lego Technic 42097 Compact Crawler Crane set that I reviewed earlier. Boys and girlswill love creating exciting missions for their heavy-duty excavator, with its many authentic details.

This 2-in-1 LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Excavator 42121 toy has plenty of features for hours of creative play. I know some purists despise the use of System parts in Technic sets, but I honestly would've preferred if they had used a System windscreen element just to be able to get something that's reasonably see-through for a figure driving the excavator. If there's system pieces that get a job done (like detailing), I'd prefer they use them than have yet another specialized piece used in just a certain instance.
