This cool excavator toy for kids is ideal for boys and girls aged 8 and up who love construction vehicles. The LEGO Technic universe offers advanced building toys for LEGO fans ready for their next challenge. With realistic mechanisms, these rewarding sets are a great way to introduce kids to the world of engineering.

Nevertheless, the limited play possibilities are compensated by the very nice design of the model body. 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. Obviously, a fully transparent element would suit better, but I like to see the designers making the best of what they have available at the movement.The finished model is one of the neatest LEGO Technic models of recent years and definitely, one of the best-looking LEGO Technic excavators ever released. Thanks to the smaller scale, the model is very proportional limited only by the play mechanisms. 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. The new LEGO Technic 42121 Heavy-Duty Excavator has a lot of selling points. First, it’s a neat, well-designed model of an excavator, both functional and good-looking. Secondly, it is easily a great choice for a kid who is just starting building with LEGO Technic, as well as for an adult fan who might be tired of larger Technic sets. As for the flaws mentioned in the review, all of these are very typical for LEGO Technic models of the size, so no surprises here. However, the excavator has a lot of potential for modifications and upgrades, including motorization. Inside the box are several plastic bags. I did not expect such a small model divided into four building stages, but it turned out to be a very relaxing build. LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect reliably every time – it's been that way since 1958.

Looking for a special gift for kids who love construction toy sets? This 2-in-1 LEGO® Technic™ Heavy-Duty Excavator (42121) toy has plenty of features for hours of creative play. Boys and girls aged 8 and up will enjoy an immersive building challenge before exploring the digger toy's realistic features. The LEGO® Technic™ universe opens up the world of engineering for young LEGO fans ready for their next building challenge. This kids' excavator toy model measures over 9 in. (23 cm) high, with arm up,14.5 in. (37 cm) long, with arm fully extended, and 4 in. (11 cm) wide.Since the boom is the main functional elements of the model, the design isn’t where it shines. Were it covered with panels, it would be way too heavy-looking for the model (see 8043 Motorized Excavator for a reference). I like the boom’s practical design. With no panels covering the mechanisms, it serves as a great illustrative example for younger builders.
