I know it's your opinion and all, but I think it's worth at least pointing out that in real life, anything being lifted into place by a crane will require a LOT of manual guidance too. Cranes are only precise up and down, their main job is to lift heavy stuff.
I think you are a bit harsh on the model. I really like how it looks and it also seems to be way more playable than 42055. You aslo said that most of its 4000 pieces are beams. Well, that's true for the most of technic sets. Nice review anyways!
I agree. Now, 42055 is still the model I show people when I say "I'm into Lego" and they give me quizzical looks. But 42082 is just a fun model. It's exactly what it says on the tin: a giant crane that can lift heavy things.
As always it’s just up to taste. I have just a weak spot for cranes, and I actually like this crane. I too had hope for a mobile high tower crane, I still hope one day they will make it. On the other hand, I’m not that fond on 42055. Would rather have had a giant mouth mine shovel/crane in a better colorscheme. It’s a very clever set nonetheless. And I see Sariel’s point in 42082. It’s basic in functions and just the least you would expect. But full remote and suspension would have quite a negative effect on both price and complexity. I think they want to keep flagship models into their standard range of pricing, and not up to the Porsche and Bugatti pricing level.
Patrick van der Meulen yeah, the Porsche and Bugatti are licensed too, the crane is actually rather realistic compared to real life replicas and the colour red is a nice change to yellow, although the only thing that would be nice is a fly Jib which you can attach to the side of the main boom and take it off to attach it to the top of the boom extension to make it taller, it’s also quite impressively tall when fully extended.
I think the LEGO designer did a good job, they just picked the wrong vehicle to model. A flagship set needs a bit of a wow factor which this set lacks. Still if got this set a kid, I would be more than happy with it.
The rubber bands are not just engine parts, they are working as a breaking system for the whinch and the outrigger extension. So you can't force them down when the selector is in neutral position
A bit harsh on the crane there... Bashing its looks and even the headlights. The design is solid, almost seamless work in comparison to most new sets. Just because you expected a giant crane with luffing jibs and whatnot doesn't mean the actual crane you got is a weak set.
Please, even $20 Lego sets come with headlights these days. The biggest Technic set ever, priced at $300, could at least bring one new piece or one brand new function.
That they do indeed. Just saying that some of the critique just seems like nitpicking for the sake of negativity. "Realistic, but extremely ugly". Can't really see that as anything but "Well it's good but I hate it anyway" kind of comment. I do agree with many points you made and would've wanted a different model as well but bashing the model for being ugly duckling and whatnot just comes across as simple disappointment and anger instead of objective reviewing that I've come to love about your channel.
I genuinely feel like you have the most unbiased opinions on these sets. I’m kinda happy that LEGO hasn’t banned some reviewers from getting sets early to review. Your opinion really matters to a bunch of us and thus dictates weather or not we buy their product. Great work as always sir.
The outriggers pads should be placed upside down. It makes more sense and i think it will also help the crane to be more stable when the outriggers are extended.
It wouldn't make much sense from a "realistic" perspective. The pads are there to distribute the pressure on a larger area. If you use a pad with four small points of pressure, it's better off to use the outriggers directly.
I didn't buy this set until a month ago because of this video. To be honest, this is a great set. 1 meter boom extension, complex control, complicated gear box, all are appreciated. I own bucket wheel excavator and 42009 crane, and this set makes a nice addition. Yes I think Sariel is too harsh on this one. What's one wants is different from what one gets doesn't make set bad.
List of improvements 1. The crane could be licensed from Liebherr 2. The boom extension should in reality really be 3 3. The boom would go down flat 4. There could be an engine cover for the pistons 5. If the outriggers did not go diagonally and rather extend horizontally then vertically 6. There could be a separate fly jib that some rough terrain cranes have Link for Liebherr lrt Rough terrain crane review by cranes etc ruclips.net/video/lVbVvky4zCg/видео.html
I like how all of the functions are completed slowly because it gives me time to react when operating it, also the little cabin is (irl) placed with people that actually help guide the parts in. If you want a challenge try moving a shoe around (not only does this show how strong the thing is, it also shows why the outriggers and the counter weight are so important, also it shows why I like how the thing is slow because it allows for a slower reaction time and it makes things so smooth)
I enjoy having so many functions run by a single motor, because i know many people will try to find ways to get as many motors as you have functions, to radio control it. Like ultimate 42009 or 8043 fullrc
I feel the same way. Driving everything from one motor (like how real machines are driven by a single engine) requires complex mechanical solutions and real engineering. Hooking up every function to its own motor just feels lazy to me.
I want to get this set just for the roller bearing part. That is one thing that is actually unique and interesting for a technic set. Oh well, after the Mercedes every flagship looks bad.
I'm always sorry that I never bought 42009. I was looking forward to pairing this next to my 42042. I think it looks great but I wish they'd put two motors in it, one for the superstructure and one in the chassis and given us a remote control. It would have really increased playability. Suspension would have been amazing but considering the weight of this model they'd have had to design new suspension system which is why it would have been amazing but with extra cost.
Recently, Tons of noteworthy MOCs have been realized from the 42082 set. Like never before. I believe the "PIECES" category deserves at least 4/5 stars.
I'm not. That's the first time I'm seeing these. And this set has many parts so of course it's a good modding material, but very few of these parts are rare or unique.
I understand what you mean. My point is that it is still a very good source for parts considering that many stores sell it at 20% off. Much like the Liebherr set is a great source for motors and hubs.
I am not an avid collector of the Technic sets, and haven't done so in years with college taking precedence. With my collection lacking behind, I decided to pick this up. With its high piece count, many of which are not in my collection, it will give me the chance to remedy that. Also, I am thinking of building a truck chassis to mount the upper part of the crane to, much like a modified 8868, with an orange peel claw like on the 42042.
there is actually a set that has something like that as a B-model. I have it myself somewhere. Model 8288 It doesn't look quite like the pic to the left, nor is it close to the same piece count as 42082. Only 800 pieces, so about a 5th of 42082
Hey, excellent review. I appreciate you being objective about everything including your opinion on the looks (an opinion I don't share but it's good to know). Also you're one of the only Lego-tubers that seems to have any kind of idea how a crane actually works (I facepalm every time I see somebody lift with the boom). I'm going to buy this kit because it appeals to me, particularly because everything is operated from one motor. It was really interesting to see that the single motor feature was a con for you but that doesn't make either of us wrong. Lastly, the rodent was quite adorable, it gave me a little anxiety that he/she was close to the moving parts though but that's just me, I'm sure you are quite careful with your little buddy! Cheers!
the only complaint i have about this set, is the fact that you cannot lower the boom completely, but it will always be a bit higher than needed. the model it's not that bad and it is reasonably good. kinda weird i can say, but still a good model.
It’s not a ‘cabin’. My uncle is a carpenter and makes site offices for construction sites. He is required to supervise the delivery of said site offices to the worksites which is normally achieved by transporting them via trucks and unloading them with this crane. My dad and I have watched the offices being put in and heard stories of them going wrong. This appears to be a site cabin, but less complete (no roof, etc.), which is why my dad and I are excited for this set, having had experience with the real life equivalent. Thanks for the review though!
Despite the weaknesses of this set I still want to buy it because the price is exactly $200 and the price per piece ratio seems extraordinary for a not-used set.
Sure, and then there's the fact that other LEGO cranes can provide exactly the same functionality and even better looks at half the parts count and half the price.
The B model for this set is one of the few B's I've ever considered building. The base of the model is the same but the piledriver functionality is interesting. If only I had the space for this. It's a great price per piece ratio considering it has PF.
I really like mine. I always wanted 42009 but I was never able to find one at a decent price (got into the hobby just a little bit too late). This satisfies my desire for a gigantic boom crane. Getting it for 25% below retail price probably helped... Methinks my retailer messed something up on their site.
Very nice in depth review. I bought it today for €169,99 on sale which i feel is a good deal. I had only seen it from pictures and didn't realize how big it actually is. (somehow i had not noticed it's over 4000 parts) And 669 pages of instructions, phew.. I doubt if i can build it in eight hours. Thanks for this review!
got it for 170euro too.. Ive built tons of sets including the 42110 LR Defender and 42055 BWE.. I loved buuilding this one too and it's impressive, good looking and very playable. I think Sariel was a bit harsh on it at the end.
Hello other LEGO fans i have a question, I am looking for a big lego set where i can spend much hours of building time in. I am a 18 years old guy who probably is not going to play with the set but will put it on a shelf as decoration. So should i get the 42082 or the 42055 or do you guys have other suggestions? please let me know! sorry for my poor english if I made some mistakes haha!
When I first saw this set I was underwhelmed by everything but the sheer size of it. Now that's not an unusual reaction for me, and I am routinely pleasantly surprised by sets I have this reaction to once I build them. However, your evaluation of this set has confirmed my fears that this really isn't flagship (or $300) worthy. I just finished re-building 42009 (Mobile Crane mk2). That was a flagship, and worth every penny, and it can be somewhat compared to this set: - It was the biggest ever at its release - It was a crane on wheels -Same PF components, same double LA setup for raising the boom However: - Its outriggers were far superior - It had four steering axles, with three different steering angles if you hold them side by side, 42082 has fewer features, a more complicated gearbox, and is bigger. Four years since 42009 came out. This doesn't feel like progress to me, and it is definitely not going to open my wallet
Thanks for the review! Actually, having no suspension is typical for rough terrain cranes. Typically, one axle is connected directly to the frame, and the other one is pivot mounted. These machines are not meant for driving on roads - they are shipped between jobsites by truck and only drive within the site. So having any springs or so on this model would not be correct.
I just bought it!!😃😃 i have the Volvo 42030 and the mercedes arocs 42043. I like this set thats why i bought it.😂 I also have the crawler 9398 and the service truck 42008. I like this set by the other ones i own😁
That was exactly what I felt when I saw all the function. Thank you for clearing my thought. I have so many technic sets that I have to be very selective in buying any more. Thanks for sharing your detail reviews.
Thanks to this review I've ordered this set! As my first technic set with motors and a parts count over 1000-ish I'm incredibly excited for it to arrive. There are many reasons I chose this set out of all the Sep 2018 sets, the biggest being its size, shape, and the fact that its a mobile crane (one of my favorite types of vehicles).
Hi Sariel. Nice review but I am not so sure about rubber belts and theirs only decoration function. Both rubber belts are connected to the boom and winch and, in my opinion, they prevent of moving the boom and the winch when there are not connected to the motor and under stress. What do you think? (I have this set for two weeks and I think it is the reason of presence of rubber belts).
In the run up to Christmas, most retailers in the UK had this set on sale for as little as £139, which is a bargain for a set this size (approx 3p per piece!). For me that changes the assessment of this set (at £239 it was a lot harder to justify).
Really nice review, as always. But I got an idea you can improve - please add a small timer to the screen, when there is a long text. Like at the end, where is Final note with lots of text. :)
I have a big problem, with the Rough Terrain Crane 42082 when I put the switch right to go down the 4 legs, it goes up and when I put the switch on the left, the 4 legs, it goes down ?
How easy would it be to add drive functionality with a servo motor and a large motor? It seems like there's enough room if you remove the piston engine in the rear of the carrier.
In summary to my long comment - anyone can make a set to do exactly what this set does, without needing over 4000 pieces to do it, and still make it look good.
I personally love this models looks and it’s complexity’s, a great Technica crane I think. I think you’ve been overly harsh on the whole ‘it’s boring’ aspect.
+Sariel's LEGO® Workshop After the 283648382th time I am whatching this video I found 'something'. Did you deleted the scene with the 6x6 all terrain tow truck? By the way I love your reviews.They are always so detailed and you test EVERYTHING. You should test hamster safty.One thing is for sure. As being 14 and love lego, every set I have bought I have seen your reveiw. Keep on good work.
+Sariel's LEGO® Workshop wasn't there a scene saying that the tow truck was so bad andoverpriced that made every other set look nice? I am sure it was somewhere. I have whatched TOO MANY of your videos!!! But seriusly I can't be imaginning this. I remember it after the crawel crane scene. If not I have no words to say. But again I love your videos and you are the best reviewer. But I want MORE hamster scenes.(if possible)I am a big fan. And also nice dog and nice hamster.I hope people will not them be bored and they will subscribe.Again best reviews.

lego technic 42082 is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite set ever
Good review. I feel like Lego has done the same types of models over and over and over again. This one was a different design, but still a crane. I would like to see more creative models in the Technic arena. I love seeing new parts & great mechanical solutions, but put into a more original piece of machinery.
I have the the 42009 crane but he isn't strong enough. So I need a second crane. I thing the 42009 crane and a second crane can lift some other technic modells together better than one crane
This one or 42070? I know you said, but then why? I honestly like the 42070 because you can remote control the driving which is already a lot of fun. This one doesn’t have remote control and motorized driving.
@@searme This set wasnt terrible. It just wasnt unique and didnt have new pieces, but that shouldnt affect how good the set actually is. Many other revolutionary and great technic sets are hardly available anymore, so in that aspect the factor of having new pieces should not matter at all - only what pieces it does have, hence i think the pieces should have 4/5 or more, because the pieces can be quite useful for MOCs. I think you went pretty hate mode on this set
I quite like this model, even though the functions could have been better. I think I'll get it later... I really want some high-grade LEGO Technic model. As a kid I only had some of the small models with like 200 parts at best. Anyway, do you think these models would benefit from some steel (or aluminium) parts in the drivetrain such as gears and even some links? Some of the gear connections in the model (e.g. boom extension) look quite flimsy to me.
while i understand your complains at the end compared to other models i think it looks great and functions as intended, dont think i would be buying it any time soon BUT of all the cranes is one of the ones i would consider FIRST...ecept the outriggers, those couldhave been way better than they currently are)
Is it possible that i have different spare parts? I have some things left over, so i started searching if i missed anything but as far as i see i didn't
34:21 I honestly dont understand lego why is it giving this dude models for free. I mean I think its an awesome models. Best one ever. I dont know what viewpoint he is looking the model from. But its just a toy. How can you say its not a good model? I think its awesome and the colors are great. I drove one of these and it had gay blue and red. it looked horrible. The balck and red is super.
Maybe because they know that I've been reviewing all Technic sets for 5+ years and have plenty of experience and many points of reference, so I'm probably in better position to objectively judge this set than someone who gets excited over "balck and red". Also, I have explained thoroughly my opinion on this set, and you're free to disagree with it.
I think it's pretty cool of Lego to enable this man to review sets, even though he has some harsh critics sometimes. I want the realest opinion and Sariel delivers just that.
that's 230€ here, that must be why I was surprised at how harsh you were. yeah, you expect something more ambitious and new from a new flagship, but at least the price doesn't seem bad here, and the model looks mostly decent.
Consider it have gearbox,pneumatics,rare buggy motor and a predecessor of 42009,it’s probably legendary,and maybe the single coolest Technic crane ever exists?

I know it's your opinion and all, but I think it's worth at least pointing out that in real life, anything being lifted into place by a crane will require a LOT of manual guidance too. Cranes are only precise up and down, their main job is to lift heavy stuff.
They're precise on an X-Y axis, but yes, guidance is needed for lining things up exactly.
Not unless you know how to properly signal a crane.
@@Jiw307 no matter how good your hand signals are, nothing is rigging up or unhooking itself. Cranes still require quite a bit of manual labor
I think you are a bit harsh on the model. I really like how it looks and it also seems to be way more playable than 42055. You aslo said that most of its 4000 pieces are beams. Well, that's true for the most of technic sets. Nice review anyways!

But 42082 is just a fun model. It's exactly what it says on the tin: a giant crane that can lift heavy things.

There's no such thing as an "unbiased opinion." All opinions are biased, by definition.
The outriggers pads should be placed upside down. It makes more sense and i think it will also help the crane to be more stable when the outriggers are extended.
Bogdan-Andrei Ailincai no those red pins hold the triggers in place
Dark Pluto True! Also the official images present them as you suggest but if you flip them they become half stud higher and this can help.
Bogdan-Andrei Ailincai but it isn't as stable
just add another stud to the plates or make your own plate with bigger surface area
It wouldn't make much sense from a "realistic" perspective. The pads are there to distribute the pressure on a larger area. If you use a pad with four small points of pressure, it's better off to use the outriggers directly.

Crane 42009 always in our hearts ❤
I feel the same !
I want one :( But the secondary market price is such murder!
@@VioIetShift if you want the crane and not the box, you could order it via bricklink piece by piece, my cousin did this and its way cheaper
I got it for Christmas a few years ago, I'm lucky :)
Getting kinda tired of these heavy duty off-road sets that have no suspension.
Me too they should make more buggys or F1s
like a McLaren X2
@OppaiGeek no actual buggy cars
still its the best 2017-2018 Flagship model
Niemand Bugatti Chiron

Oh yeah man finaly i was waiting for this video so long. Thank you man you are a legend.
I like that 42070 stands out as a flagship set - as being so awful and overpriced : priceless.

Very harsh review indeed- I am building this set now and must admit it is avesome.
I want to get this set just for the roller bearing part. That is one thing that is actually unique and interesting for a technic set. Oh well, after the Mercedes every flagship looks bad.

Looks only 2 star? Seriously nice looking though..😁
Recently, Tons of noteworthy MOCs have been realized from the 42082 set. Like never before.
I believe the "PIECES" category deserves at least 4/5 stars.
I haven't seen a single one of them.
@@searme If you are Not being sarcastic, these are the MOCs I mean: MOC-52169; MOC-47508; MOC-27807; MOC-18978; MOC-40482; MOC-44038
I'm not. That's the first time I'm seeing these. And this set has many parts so of course it's a good modding material, but very few of these parts are rare or unique.
I understand what you mean.
My point is that it is still a very good source for parts considering that many stores sell it at 20% off.

Nice review sariel! I definitely agree the extendable boom section is weak, keep it up 👍
Best set EVER
8043 YES!! I own that one..! But it is currently out of commission... need some new motors for it. :-(
One of my new fav sets, I have to get this. Amazing review too!
It’s not a ‘cabin’. My uncle is a carpenter and makes site offices for construction sites. He is required to supervise the delivery of said site offices to the worksites which is normally achieved by transporting them via trucks and unloading them with this crane.

That boom extension
Despite the weaknesses of this set I still want to buy it because the price is exactly $200 and the price per piece ratio seems extraordinary for a not-used set.
Wow cool review. you should have done a size comparison between this and the bucket wheel excavator
I don't have the BWE assembled nor time to assemble it.
ok
Dont really understand the hate here but each to their own i suppose. Personally i think this set looks and operates amazing.
Sure, and then there's the fact that other LEGO cranes can provide exactly the same functionality and even better looks at half the parts count and half the price.
The B model for this set is one of the few B's I've ever considered building. The base of the model is the same but the piledriver functionality is interesting. If only I had the space for this. It's a great price per piece ratio considering it has PF.
I really like mine. I always wanted 42009 but I was never able to find one at a decent price (got into the hobby just a little bit too late).
This satisfies my desire for a gigantic boom crane. Getting it for 25% below retail price probably helped... Methinks my retailer messed something up on their site.
Very nice in depth review. I bought it today for €169,99 on sale which i feel is a good deal. I had only seen it from pictures and didn't realize how big it actually is. (somehow i had not noticed it's over 4000 parts) And 669 pages of instructions, phew.. I doubt if i can build it in eight hours. Thanks for this review!
got it for 170euro too.. Ive built tons of sets including the 42110 LR Defender and 42055 BWE.. I loved buuilding this one too and it's impressive, good looking and very playable. I think Sariel was a bit harsh on it at the end.
This might come as a surprise to y'all, but I've just bought this set mostly for its looks. ;)
Hello other LEGO fans i have a question, I am looking for a big lego set where i can spend much hours of building time in. I am a 18 years old guy who probably is not going to play with the set but will put it on a shelf as decoration. So should i get the 42082 or the 42055 or do you guys have other suggestions? please let me know! sorry for my poor english if I made some mistakes haha!
Both are pretty great sets, but 42055 is bigger and more beginner-friendly.
When I first saw this set I was underwhelmed by everything but the sheer size of it. Now that's not an unusual reaction for me, and I am routinely pleasantly surprised by sets I have this reaction to once I build them. However, your evaluation of this set has confirmed my fears that this really isn't flagship (or $300) worthy.
I just finished re-building 42009 (Mobile Crane mk2). That was a flagship, and worth every penny, and it can be somewhat compared to this set:
- It was the biggest ever at its release
- It was a crane on wheels
-Same PF components, same double LA setup for raising the boom
However:
- Its outriggers were far superior
- It had four steering axles, with three different steering angles
if you hold them side by side, 42082 has fewer features, a more complicated gearbox, and is bigger.
Four years since 42009 came out. This doesn't feel like progress to me, and it is definitely not going to open my wallet
Thanks for the review!
Actually, having no suspension is typical for rough terrain cranes. Typically, one axle is connected directly to the frame, and the other one is pivot mounted. These machines are not meant for driving on roads - they are shipped between jobsites by truck and only drive within the site. So having any springs or so on this model would not be correct.
Robert D I’d still rather have springs. One of my favorite parts of these kits
I just bought it!!😃😃 i have the Volvo 42030 and the mercedes arocs 42043. I like this set thats why i bought it.😂 I also have the crawler 9398 and the service truck 42008. I like this set by the other ones i own😁
Yes the 42082 is actually a really good set!
That was exactly what I felt when I saw all the function. Thank you for clearing my thought. I have so many technic sets that I have to be very selective in buying any more. Thanks for sharing your detail reviews.
I use the pads the other side up. Then they provide real extra stability
Thanks to this review I've ordered this set! As my first technic set with motors and a parts count over 1000-ish I'm incredibly excited for it to arrive. There are many reasons I chose this set out of all the Sep 2018 sets, the biggest being its size, shape, and the fact that its a mobile crane (one of my favorite types of vehicles).
Nice big crane with red color and it was a budget set
Hi Sariel. Nice review but I am not so sure about rubber belts and theirs only decoration function. Both rubber belts are connected to the boom and winch and, in my opinion, they prevent of moving the boom and the winch when there are not connected to the motor and under stress. What do you think? (I have this set for two weeks and I think it is the reason of presence of rubber belts).
They're not even tensioned and they never move.
Sure, rubber belts never move. But it looks like they slow down axles from gearbox connected to the boom and the winch.
@@Keymaker Yes i have this set and that is the case
In the run up to Christmas, most retailers in the UK had this set on sale for as little as £139, which is a bargain for a set this size (approx 3p per piece!). For me that changes the assessment of this set (at £239 it was a lot harder to justify).
Somehow I think the B model is more playful. I already have 42009 and I want a different vehicle. Maybe you could consider doing a review for B model?
No time, sorry.
I wonder how well the crane upper half would mount on the back of 42070. I think it might fill the space well, and wouldn't look out of place.
I strongly suspect that it's too big.
To me, 42082 isn’t quite odd. It’s tire and color are cooler than 42009
Hej Sariel, zastanawiam się czy kupić ten zestaw czy traktor CLAAS Xerion. Który byś bardziej polecił?
Ja się lepiej bawiłem z Xerionem, ale to bardzo różne modele.
Thanks for this video. Question at 6:49: Is the axle (4) with little black gear fixed or loose in the structure?
If it has gear on it, it's probably not fixed.
Really nice review, as always. But I got an idea you can improve - please add a small timer to the screen, when there is a long text. Like at the end, where is Final note with lots of text. :)
Or you can just press space key for pause.
I know, but then I have to wait unknown time until there is next screen. But OK, bad idea, sorry
I have a big problem, with the Rough Terrain Crane 42082 when I put the switch right to go down the 4 legs, it goes up and when I put the switch on the left, the 4 legs, it goes down ?
Sounds like building error. You must have put some gears in wrong direction.
@@searme but when I turn on the power and I put the switch to the left everything works perfectly, but the gears are all properly placed.
Fun video! thanks for inspiring me for buying this set
I like to watch your videos. I like the 42082 and the Bugatti Chiron also
Which flagship Technic set from the last five years would you recommend
Mercedes Arocs, I guess.
The extra blue pin is likely a mistake. I have the exact leftover pieces except for this one :)
Very good model
This is an amazing set, and you did a great job reviewing it! I thought the mouse was funny!
That's a hamster.
Sariel's LEGO® Workshop Oh gosh! I'm sorry! I don't know the difference!
How easy would it be to add drive functionality with a servo motor and a large motor? It seems like there's enough room if you remove the piston engine in the rear of the carrier.
I doubt removing the engine alone will provide enough room for that.
In summary to my long comment - anyone can make a set to do exactly what this set does, without needing over 4000 pieces to do it, and still make it look good.
I personally love this models looks and it’s complexity’s, a great Technica crane I think. I think you’ve been overly harsh on the whole ‘it’s boring’ aspect.
It has no new pieces and no new functions whatsoever. Rather disappointing for the biggest Technic set in history.
+Sariel's LEGO® Workshop After the 283648382th time I am whatching this video I found 'something'. Did you deleted the scene with the 6x6 all terrain tow truck? By the way I love your reviews.They are always so detailed and you test EVERYTHING. You should test hamster safty.One thing is for sure. As being 14 and love lego, every set I have bought I have seen your reveiw. Keep on good work.
What scene? You realize that videos can't be edited after they're uploaded to YT, right?
+Sariel's LEGO® Workshop wasn't there a scene saying that the tow truck was so bad andoverpriced that made every other set look nice? I am sure it was somewhere. I have whatched TOO MANY of your videos!!! But seriusly I can't be imaginning this. I remember it after the crawel crane scene. If not I have no words to say. But again I love your videos and you are the best reviewer. But I want MORE hamster scenes.(if possible)I am a big fan. And also nice dog and nice hamster.I hope people will not
them be bored and they will subscribe.Again best reviews.

lego technic 42082 is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite set ever
Same!
Sweet review!
Already own 42009 which looks much better, so there's no need for this one :) Although red-black colour is pretty cool.
42009 looked disgusting, so boxy, so much empty space when the boom is up, so much space between the cabin and the crane, so much yellow!
Good review. I feel like Lego has done the same types of models over and over and over again. This one was a different design, but still a crane. I would like to see more creative models in the Technic arena. I love seeing new parts & great mechanical solutions, but put into a more original piece of machinery.
I have the the 42009 crane but he isn't strong enough. So I need a second crane. I thing the 42009 crane and a second crane can lift some other technic modells together better than one crane
This one or 42070? I know you said, but then why? I honestly like the 42070 because you can remote control the driving which is already a lot of fun. This one doesn’t have remote control and motorized driving.
Dude, the 42070 is quite possibly the worst flagship of the decade. There are so many better remote-controlled sets out there, like the 42030.
I’ll get this one when the price drops a little. Thanks
If we look Technic legos in Sariel's eyes we don't buy anything.
I gave positive reviews to dozens of Technic sets. The ones that were actually good.
@@searme This set wasnt terrible. It just wasnt unique and didnt have new pieces, but that shouldnt affect how good the set actually is. Many other revolutionary and great technic sets are hardly available anymore, so in that aspect the factor of having new pieces should not matter at all - only what pieces it does have, hence i think the pieces should have 4/5 or more, because the pieces can be quite useful for MOCs. I think you went pretty hate mode on this set
very nice review!
your hamster is soooo cute!
I have finished building it but I can't find where the stickers 32 and 33 go
I quite like this model, even though the functions could have been better. I think I'll get it later... I really want some high-grade LEGO Technic model. As a kid I only had some of the small models with like 200 parts at best. Anyway, do you think these models would benefit from some steel (or aluminium) parts in the drivetrain such as gears and even some links? Some of the gear connections in the model (e.g. boom extension) look quite flimsy to me.
so now the Largest lego Technic set is 42055 or 42082?
42082 :D
@@harryballs9508 no its the same size i've checked yesterday
42055 has much, much less pieces than 42082
42055 has three thousand and something and 42082 has over 4000
Trust me, I own 42055
Thank God. It's about time
Sarel, you're great
I wish they'd do more cars.. only 3 decent technic cars are out so far!
while i understand your complains at the end compared to other models i think it looks great and functions as intended, dont think i would be buying it any time soon BUT of all the cranes is one of the ones i would consider FIRST...ecept the outriggers, those couldhave been way better than they currently are)
Is it possible that i have different spare parts? I have some things left over, so i started searching if i missed anything but as far as i see i didn't
Great review! Which one do you prefer, this one or the bugatti? Thanks!
The best way to start my day.
you know it's a serious build when it has an inner box
Sariel, how do you think, for 160€ is a good set to buy or it is better to look something more?
Well if you can get it for that much, then definitely!
34:21 I honestly dont understand lego why is it giving this dude models for free. I mean I think its an awesome models. Best one ever. I dont know what viewpoint he is looking the model from. But its just a toy. How can you say its not a good model? I think its awesome and the colors are great. I drove one of these and it had gay blue and red. it looked horrible. The balck and red is super.
Maybe because they know that I've been reviewing all Technic sets for 5+ years and have plenty of experience and many points of reference, so I'm probably in better position to objectively judge this set than someone who gets excited over "balck and red". Also, I have explained thoroughly my opinion on this set, and you're free to disagree with it.
I think it's pretty cool of Lego to enable this man to review sets, even though he has some harsh critics sometimes. I want the realest opinion and Sariel delivers just that.
I did not meant to offend or hurt you I just mean that sometimes your views on the models is a bit extreme. Its a lego model.
It's a $299.99 Lego model. I have the right to look for some reason for such a high price, and you have the right to disagree.
that's 230€ here, that must be why I was surprised at how harsh you were. yeah, you expect something more ambitious and new from a new flagship, but at least the price doesn't seem bad here, and the model looks mostly decent.
31:00 working out
Still, 42009 is my favorite
Could you Put in an xl motor?
ODB VieskyTM I would, L motor doesn’t really seem suitable for this
@@jltworks3167 doesn't fit?
You can make drastic changes to the crane superstructure
Great technic model but I think you are being very nitpicky with this one in my opnion.
Its kinda a weird design crane it doesnt have the main driving seat only the crane seat how do you drive it then can someone explain?
It's a real-life design called compact crane where you drive from the operator's cabin.
I guess I’ll just stick with my ultimate 42009
How long is this going to stay together?
It reminds me of tortoise
Both lift slowly
Both extend their necks
Both are heavy
30:04 Wait, there are exciting types of mobile cranes...
42070 "was so awful and overpriced it made every other set look great" mmm love it when that's the best thing about a flagship technic set
i just have one question: why is the 8421 set legendary?
It was the first large realistic mobile crane in Technic line. Also, it's awesome and advanced.
@@searme oh ok thats cool i guess
Consider it have gearbox,pneumatics,rare buggy motor and a predecessor of 42009,it’s probably legendary,and maybe the single coolest Technic crane ever exists?
*The Crane design looks french But it may not be But its awsome!*
Liebherr is German/Swiss, not French.
