When you see other Lego KZfaqrs doing reviews of a set but you wait for your favourite Lego KZfaqr:

I personally like the stickers, they’re just like something you’d see on an actual tow truck in the US

that set would be really cool if you motorized it!!! But its still a really cool set without motors.

High ratings well deserved. First technic set that is actually jam-packed with functions in a while, it almost gives me nostalgia

The truck body is lovely, I'm not turned off by the colors, and I'm glad it's not black. I'm surprised no one has commented that the crane seems to be a little tall and spindly It really should be a little lower to the deck that it rides on. Other than that, I agree, this is an extremely polished looking model. As much as I enjoy Sariel's motorized builds, I appreciate not having an expensive battery box and motor in a set that will probably end up on my shelf. Sometimes manual control is better. IRL, the operator would be scurrying all over parts of this truck to get stuff done.

I love the number and realism of functions, but the traverse is a tragedy that should not have been allowed. also no excuse for b model missing, there's so much potential in the inventory.

SARIEL WHAT that was fast! You’ve made my day Sariel! You are amazing!

Thank you for another great review, as always! Real shame that KZfaq’s algorithms cast you out man :(

Amazing video like as always Sariel, you convinced me to buy this set. You deserve every view and subscriber you've got so far :D

My dream set 😍 - pneumatics - good color scheme and detail - amazing piece/price ratio - lots of functions

Someone get this man and his hamster some chromed parts for his tow truck!

Fantsatic review! I really like the the comparison of the turning radius at 24:47 Also really like the set, might have to buy it now *sigh*

The accuracy and functions of the set are amazing, and the price is reasonable too!

For me the best model this year, winter and summer wave. Great mocing potential great parts. Pneumatic. With all orange sets so far enough to go crazy with orange. Waiting for the typical discount and will buy at least one, probably more😉 But of course without the stickers they are really a bit, or more, over the top.

Imagine getting this beauty as a young boy!

This set looks absolutely awesome definitely gonna buy it

Super excited to get this baby, heavy wreckers/rotators are my favorite type of truck by far. Definitely gotta put an air tank in there somewhere though.

Detailed review again. Seems like it needs some mods, like the steering ratio. Also a feature to switch between having the winches be moving with a single knob as well as indenpendently would have been nice.

Great video again Sariel was really looking forward to your review of this set!

a great technic set. many functions, good price. it has some flaws but overall it's pretty good. I don't like stickers either, but that's not a big deal

Finally a set i can get back into

yeeeeeah boooy i clicked on KZfaq by mistake and was going to go back when the first video i saw was yours in the home page so i am not gonna go back and am going to continue watching you are brilliant

Beautiful Truck with Sticker.

Finally again the good old sariel music!

I just bought this, the overall colours and design jumped out on the shelf in a lego stockist, that and all the features with the old school pneumatics.

Great review, thanks. I agree the stickers and colors are over the top but for some reason I love 'em!

Sooooo... Lego does a faithful recreation of actual vehicles, despite being an unlicensed set, thus keeping the price down. LEGO - please, this is great! Do more of this please! Not everything has to be branded for people to care!

The comparison b/w this set and the zeteros reminds me a lot of 42069 vs 42070, in that the below flagship was far superior to the flagship.

Le format de la vidéo est génial je ne connaissais pas avant c'est bien dommage

Thanks for the review. This will be my first ever Technic set 😁

I finally caved today and ordered myself this set. I have no clue when I'll be able to build it, or where to display it (all my Technic models have been boxed since moving house 3 years ago), but this is a set I simply do not want to miss out on and I expect it's prices to go up quite a bit in the future. As for the colors: I lik it NOT being yellow or red, or black, the color scheme is quite nice, the stickers are a matter of taste, I kind of like the way they fit with the sort of truck it is.

Pneumatics have really come a long way in Lego technic, I have the Service Truck (42008) and Mercedes-Benz Arocs (42043) and both of their pneumatics took a long time to work (if they worked at all) and didn't stay extended for long. The pneumatics in this set look so responsive and I wish I had them in the past.

I think this set is going to go really well with the 42098 Car Transporter. They seem to be in the same scale. I actually have to really come to like the sets in that scale. I like that they all function together - the ZR1, the Senna, and the car transporter. Hoping to add this one to the collection as well!

I have read some of your books and you have inspired me to build more and more lego. You are truly a genius man 😀!!!

The most awaited review (awaited by me, this year)! Great to see this set meets my expectations :D One thing I have to say after watching a lot of Your reviews (and I still will be watching): you review the toys, this one for 11-year-old children, from the position of an adult. E.g. the stickers - you hate them (high-five, but I hate all the stickers), but for 11 YO child they could be great :) Maybe ask few ~11 YO kids, what they think about those stickers? And interior of the cab - hey, it's Technic set, not Creator Expert VW T1/2 ;) I'm pleased with engine complexity, better than in Zetros, where nothnig moves, even fan xD And as you mentioned - the space behind the cab gives opportunity to place a C+ hub there ;) so for me it's a pro feature, that there is no sleeping interior :P But if there was... I would be expecting someone to put there #techniciansback! Now awaiting Ford Raptor review :)

After watching the 42129 review yesterday the Tow Truck doesn't seem like a bad option anymore... The lack of a B Model is to be expected now, but it's still a drag - this had so much potential!

Another vid!! I’m so happy

Finally something interesting again from Lego again. And if I am honest, this is way better looking than models like the liebherr excavator (the "white box")

This set is really nice, it has lots of functions and pneumatics! The lack of a B-model, the strange stickers (I was surprised when I saw that orange monster thing with a car, it doesn't seem like something LEGO would do) is not acceptable, as others said, it had so much potential and stickers could definitely be improved. The lack of motorization can be justified with the price as if it were motorized it would probably cost $100 more, but the hand-of-god steering being geared down is a bit odd (it shouldn't be too hard to fix though). Oh well, I guess you can't have everything Thanks for your awesome review of the set, I liked how you went really in-depth and even gave information on the weight and size of the vehicle! I'll definitely be getting this set in the near future! :)

2:30 am where I am right now lol

This is an amazing set and I feel it is the best truck ever released by lego

I didn't know what Sariel meant by 18+ so I googled Lego 18+ and I don't think I will ever see Legos the same again

Great b model potential, great pneumatics just needs nicer colours and chrome elements.

Thanks Sariel for this awesome video. I will buy it day one...

Cool set! Thanks for the review!

Looks like it moves nicely even though it has 8 wheels.

THE BEST

super duper sensation!!!! congrats!!!

Truly a useful review. And what were they thinking with the stickers!? they could have easily made two sets of stickers, a trashy one like this and a more reasonable one for those who didn't like the first.

Not even Batman expected the Tumbler Batmobile to be towable.

For what it’s worth, American style heavy wreckers usually have horrible paint jobs so the stickers aren’t far off. Can’t wait for this good old fashioned technic set. I have had the same pneumatic sticking issue for every pneumatic set from 42043 on.

My morning savier!!

WOW! Cool,i love these!

Amazing review as always, thx

i don't find the colours too bad, but yeah it's one of those sets where i would not consider putting on the "decorative" stickers, esp the ones that go on the sides of the sleeper

I like this set

I think the stickers look great, bc it matches the american style.

I agree with you 100 percent on the stickers. Hideous

YES! The legendary 8285 makes a comeback! Sort of...

Fantastic review! Although I am surprised you got through it without mentioning 42008 haha

Lego could have really add more pieces and realistic vehicle functions to make it a full fledged flagship. I feel this set it better than the trial truck

I wish this was one of the sets similar to the 2013 service truck that had a motor and a batter box included to upgrade to not use the manual pump and the knobs or be able to be upgraded like the Volvo wheel loader from 2016

Anyone here still remembers the 8285 tow truck?

Thanks for the review. Seems to be an interesting functional technic model to buy. Having no B-model from Lego is a bummer.

I love the pneumatic but i would love to have air tank like in the 8462 that was better

I know the orange hulk seems ridiculous, but for some reason a lot of heavy haul and towing in the south-eastern US have wild graphics like that

I've always wondered what music you use in your videos? Great work on the vids by the way. I love watching the part when you do the speed build. For some reason it seems satisfying to me but to others it is not. I have my own Legos that I kinda just build random things with whenever I have an idea. I still love to play with Legos to this day and whatever age I am, I will still play with. Even though it does not matter what age you are which is the cool thing.

I am totally getting this set. But I am finishing up fixing the 42114 set from last year and I want to get the 42112.

Color scheme and graphics could have been better for sure. Still awesome looking and the functions look great.

how many small linear actuators are there? 6? (Once again I'm sorry for spamming your comments)

IMO not as clean or polished as the Mac Anthem, but significantly more interesting/feature driven. I find it fun that this is a regularly marketed Technic set set yet looks more difficult to assemble than the 18+ targeted Ford Raptor. I don't normally assemble Technic sets, but this looks too good a model pass up, and the value is one of the best in years.

Can you do like what you did with the Sian, Chiron and GT3 RS with this, the Mack Anthem and the Car transporter set? That would be cool.

I missing the hamster and the cat :-)

1:46 - The print on the box seems weird I can see the texture in it. Other boxes that I have are not like that.

any tips on convincing my mum to buy this

Main lifting boom elevation should be also done by pneumatic cylinders, in my opinion!

Like this set very much)))

Test is not complete without rotating something like the Mack truck.

This is the sort of Technic set I've missed so much since 2016's Summer blowout which had the amazing Bucket Wheel Excavator and Claas Xerion 5000 TRAC VC; great looking model/impressively sized model with a ton of functions for a reasonable price. There have been some good ones since but, outside of the Supercar collection, haven't felt quite as impressive or ambitious or were tied to the rather unpopular Control+ system (the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey is a impressive well priced set, by official retail price, but was canceled). This Heavy-Duty Tow Truck ticks so many boxes; good looks, tons of manual functions, very well priced in all regions and impressive in size. Colour scheme is gonna be hit and miss but I'm fine with it. Having no motor is simultaneously a good thing and something I wished this had; good in that it greatly lowers the cost of this set, given how much Lego is charging for sets that include Powered UP and Control+ motors and components and doesn't interfere with the set's looks. But watching the speed of the functions in this review, I kinda also wished this used the older motors for some of the functions as they are very slow to operate. But they're minor quirks though as this is still so impressive already. However, while it is very well priced, I'm expecting this to get discounted quite heavily and quickly as Technic is very widely available and sadly Technic doesn't do particularly well, relatively. I'll say though, this is still going to be far more successful in the UK and EU than the frankly overpriced Ford F-150 Raptor.

Please tell me what kind of music did you use in the beginning?

Not gonna lie I'm surprised how compact some of it is

Thank you, Sariel, for the amazing work, as always! I'm building my set, and as I opened bag #4, I stopped and came to watch your video as something has been bothering me: my steering is backward and is driving (pun intended) me CRAZY!!! I must've made a mistake. In mine, you turn the steering to the left to go right!!! Argh! I wonder if this is a common mistake people make?

Please More Magic The Gathering References!(but i think,the truck should have been a red Artifact Creature)

Couldn't the gears you use to control the functions have a pin hole besides them to attach a removable crank made out of a axle with a gear and a bean with a small wheel? Would make these controls much easier

The good old music

im worried because i have a long axle piece left over and everything works perfectly fine, it might be an extra part but its still got me scared because its my biggest set ever and i cant take it apart for 1 piece

LOve this one ! Thanks

Which is better 42096 or 42128?

This might be the first set since 42069 I will buy

And now..... 42128 VS 8285 Which one is better??

The only real mark I have against the authenticity is that there's single wheels on the drive axles. It should be double wheels.

Looks like a great set, I’ll be buying it. I feel Lego has gotten a little lazy in their designs by making these new parts, because we did fine before those alternating beams.

Im kind of sad they ditched the engine pieces for the smaller size of the built ones

It's such an epic set and there are lots of pieces in it I would like... but I'm not allowed to spend that much money :(

Maybe it’s authentic to have a straight 6, but the engine just looks so tiny compared to the rest of the truck, like a cost-saving / they hadn’t figured out how to use bigger pistons.

I still can't get my head around the size. Could we have a grapefruit next to the butternut squash for scale?

Its my favorite set and in january i can get it😃

And how long did it take you to put everything together like that, finished and all that?

the serial number of the kit is incorrect at the beginning of the video 😉 Thanks for the review!

Waarom wordt er niet duidelijk aangegeven dat alle motoren apart gekocht moeten, maak er ook een prijs voor de complete auto?
