LEGOTechnic Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck Toy for Boys & Girls aged 8 Plus Years Old, Recycling Bin Lorry with Realistic Features, Vehicle Gift Idea 42167

The LEGO Technic Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck is excellent quality and turned out even better than I expected. The size is bigger than I imagined, which makes it an even more impressive display piece once completed. Assembly was straightforward with clear, easy to follow instructions there were only a couple of small challenges, but that’s part of the fun of LEGO. The finished model looks incredible, and for what you get, it’s excellent value for money. A brilliant set for both building and displaying.

Looks: 4/5. It does look good as a bin lorry, just one thing, why sticker headlights. I understand pieces would be a bit difficult but it might be possible. But other than that, it’s still a good looking set.Functions; 5/5 the functions on this set work really well and they don’t break, well put together and works efficiently.Value: 5/5 for the price I paid for this (£22.99) this is well worth the money, and surprisingly delivery is quick, for £22, it has better functions than sets over £50.Building: 4/5, the building process isn’t that hard, but there are some steps which you would need to take a second look, but other than that it’s pretty easy and enjoyable.Overall: 5/5, worth the money, somewhat easy to build and has a good outcome. If it’s something your interested in, go for it.

Experienced young Lego builders will find this challenging enough to be worth building and satisfying to play with the finished project. This refuse collection truck is certainly not a rubbish toy! Should be ok for a competent rising nine year old builder and above. They may even get the hint to use the truck to pick up all those stray Lego bits and play them back into the box. Good play value for the money.

Great Lego set. Fun to build and display. Instructions are excellent.

This is based on the real life electric Mack garbage truck which is used in the USA currently. It really is a fun build and when completed, you have a trashcan with 'rubbish' comprised of small coloured circles of Lego which you can empty into the garbage truck using the fully working bin emptying mechanism which deposits the 'rubbish' directly into the garbage truck. Not only this but there is a working mechanism to empty rubbish from the truck itself and you can also steer the truck with the small wheel which sits just behind the cab.It's also the first Lego set I've come across which has replaced all the plastic bags with paper bags. A truly 'Green' effort from Lego.And for the price it's going for, get it before it sells out is my advice, you won't regret it!

Great set to build had lots of fun building it.I was a bit disappointed because the 2 headlight stickers were missing from the sheet but apart from that brilliant build and the model is stunning. I really like the functions parts which include the grasp that can lift the bin and flow the rubbish elements into the back of the truck and you can also tip the trash out the back too.I highly recommend this set to all Lego fans.

Nice easy build and model looks good

This is a fun build, and an interactive toy that can be played with once built too (as in, additional moving parts not just pushing it along). My 10 year old got it for his birthday and before we knew it, he'd built it and was showing off all it's features! Fun alternative to all his supercars!
