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.

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. First the excavator arm is built, then the bodywork is added around it before building the tracked chassis and mounting the body upon it. Overall, I really like this particular construction vehicle Lego set because it comes with realistic functions. The cab is fitted with a red seat which has nozzles on both sides to represent control levers, and an angled control panel. The operator’s seat is my favorite spot of the whole build, featuring a neat seat and a very suitable semi-transparent panel as a windscreen.Thanks for the shot with the minifig ( and, of course, the goat:), as it is really hard to judge the size.

They are part of the Technic aesthetic and we would all be a lot poorer, time-wise, if every pin was black! I’ve loved Lego from being a kid and their technic stuff is fantastic, this excavator was great fun to build, coming alive the more you built, the model is fantastic with working arm and bucket, the only downside to Lego is the stickers, I hate stickers, but they do make the excavator look great. This 569-piece set brings back mini-scaled construction machines and uses a bunch of newly-introduced pieces for its neat design.A proper piece of construction machinery is imaginable without a whole bunch of warning signs and markings, hence a moderate-sized sticker sheet. The new Excavator fits into the middle of the range, and below, I'll compare it to two of the older versions. it looks like I might have struck a nerve, Maybe I have missed a previous explanation as to why Lego uses blue for the Pins, Technic is not my main focus in Lego, however I do own a few sets. It's first and foremost a crane with an arm that you can make function remotely, that's at least tied with aesthetic concerns. Whether it's a birthday, Christmas, or ‘just because' gift, young construction fans will love building and exploring this 2-in-1 LEGO® Technic™ Heavy-Duty Excavator (42121) toy set.

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.

If kids want to dig in Lego, they've probably got a box full of parts to dig in that'll work much better than a few pieces included here. They range from 1984's pneumatic excavator to the massive 4000 piece Bucket Wheel Excavator in 2016. Also, as usual, the tracks don't move if you're pushing it on a smooth surface (table, hard floor, etc). The slightly milky situation with transparent System elements we're dealing with right now, while still subpar, is far less egregious than this.
