Of course, no issues with Amazon, but paid $25 for 2 day shipping, and the carrier dropped the ball, got it in 3 days.
The box is absolutely massive. Cut the seals and dump out alot of bags, and then a box. Inside the box, more bags!! Almost 3000 parts compose this model.
Bags are numbered 1-8, corresponding to the phase of build. Phase 1 builds the dump truck, and contains the material for play. Phase 2 builds the frame. Phase 3 builds the tracks. Phase 4 builds the machine frame. Phase 5 builds the exit conveyor. Phase 6 builds the digger wheel. Phase 7 builds the rear of the digger and the power functions. Phase 8 builds the accessories.
Built the model over 4 days. Being almost 3000 parts, I thought it would be a grueling build, but it wasn't the case. I recently built the Arocs truck, which was tedious. I just wanted to get it built. The Wheel Excavator was fast and enjoyable.
I checked things as I went, seeing there are a lot of axles and gears in this set. With the motor being at the rear end of the digger frame, getting to the tracks takes a lot of mechanics.
Finishing the build, I have to say it is quite impressive. However, I have to say using 1 motor for all the functions kind of was a let down. I built the Volvo loader, and it has 4 motors. There are really only 3 functions powered: tracks, wheel/conveyors, and turning the machine. Turning the machine requires the conveyors and wheel running. You can't run the tracks with anything else engaged. Raising/lowering the digger wheel is manually operated, as is rotating the discharge conveyor, which has a locking mechanism, which, from gear backlash is kinda, pointless.
I realize most of this was engineered to mimick the real machine, but, being a Flagship model, I think things like the railings, the goofy rear access ladder, and the multiple gear boxes could have been reduced to add a couple more motors and some better functuality. IR remote capability like the Volvo loader would have sent this over the top.
I suppose being Lego it could be reworked to add these in, but I really don't want to take apart the models I have to get the parts to do this.
So, although it is completely awesome, huge, and definitely a must have for the serious Technic builder, I just feel a few small things could have made this the biggest, baddest set ever made, period.
This is a MUST HAVE for the crazed LEGO fan in your life.

Después de aproximadamente 20 horas he ensamblado la excavadora, que es el modelo principal; el manual para construir la separadora de piezas puede encontrarse en el sitio web de LEGO.
Si eres fan de la marca, esta compra es muy recomendada. El producto final es muy grande, asegúrate de tener un espacio adecuado para lucirlo.
Con respecto al proveedor, ninguna queja. El paquete llegó en buen estado y a tiempo.
