5.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy from Shop4Toyz, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Lego Technic Crane Truck 8258 (Toy)
This is a $150 set released this year.

Shop4Toyz consistently try to exploit ill informed customers by grossly overcharging on everything.

Avoid them like the plague and buy from a reputable authorised Lego dealer.

The picture on the box does not do this set much justice. The set has an extensive number of special technic parts (gears, connectors, liftarms). It is also the first set that uses a motorized turntable (the second was the 8043) excavator. Wether you build the lego models or are into MOCs, this is definitely a must-have set.

I great set as with all lego products, the only things that I didn't like about this set was the part for a trailer to hook to it was made without a hole or anything to hook a trailer to and the crane is a little weak but other that that things which I am sure any lego lover could correct this set is great. It is very dissapointing that it is not available in Canada from [...] after all it is supposed to be there flagship main set for 2009.

Ok, this set is huge - if I recall correctly, this is the second largest LEGO Technic set after the Unimog 440. Expect to set aside a few days to complete this build, it's complexity is daunting by that's what makes this set fun.

The crane arm function is brilliant, the arm folds like the real truck. The gear systems and the function switching is neatly done but may come across as a bit confusing at first. The set also uses 6 AA's batteries, so stock up on those.

There is I would say one major flaw with the gears. The set contains a LEGO XL Motor (rarely packaged with models) and this is quite powerful. If you don't connect the final crane arm hinge properly (really, really, really pay attention to the instructions), you run the risk of actually shredding one of the small biege bevel gears. The solution is simple and the link to it is as follows: http://www.designer-han.nl/lego/ (under the sub-section Öriginal Mods" and don't worry, even the "fix" is fun to apply).

Other than that, this set is basically a dream to build and play with!

This was a great deal for the size and time it took to assemble. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a bit of a challenge and something new and big. Has many functions and plenty of room for upgrades if you'd like.
