- The LEGO Technic 42144 Material Handler is the second Technic release for the 2nd half year of 2022. It has some cool pneumatic functions and recolored cylinders, but does it all worth $150, especially if we compare it to the 42053 Volvo EW160E from 2016? Let's find it out!

The comparison between the tow truck and the waste handler was... surprising, to understate it 😂
I do like this classic direction they're taking new Technic sets in. It has some aesthetic paneling but functions still reign supreme
Yet the price is too high
I just finished building the Heavy-Duty tow truck set. That thing provides much better value compared to this. For the same price, both have pneumatics, but the tow truck has 1,200 (!!!) more pieces. I don't see how Lego thought $150 usd was a good price for this.
Agree. I also just built the tow truck and it’s a great set - way better than I was expecting.
Also, TowTruck has 4 actuators, 3 diffs and a lot of panels.
@@DNovac The truck actually has 6 actuators, but only 2 differentials (the front axle of the 3 rear ones lifts up and isn't attached to the others.
I just picked this 7p for $125 Aud, $77 USD. Couldn't pass it up.
@@houseofpuszkar Wow, that's a really good deal. Nice one
Love the thumbnail 😂
The Material Handler has a decent amount of good stuff going for it, a lot of functions, pretty big and it's about as pure as a Technic set can be. It's just a shame it's ruined by being so massively overpriced (almost insultingly so), what ever country it's sold in; currently retailing at the same price as the Heavy Duty Tow Truck in the US is absolutely crazy. Which is made worse when the Tow Truck and other older but more substantial sets have been getting discounts here and there as they've been out a while now. Right now for example, it's the Tow Truck is touch less costly than the Material Handler's retail price in the UK; heck I even saw the Land Rover Defender set for HALF price recently at £87.50.
This set has no business retailing for three figures, inflation or not, when it's so heavily cut down from the Volvo set from 2016 and priced so closely to other much larger Technic sets from past and present. I would've guessed this set's price to have been £75/$80/80 Euros to be honest.
the only way it stops is by people boycotting it a full year. any set that increased price. don't buy. don't preorder.
i had guessed $99 -$ 119 since there always was about 10-15% extra for pneumatic +0.12c a piece.
but $149 is just insulting to any loyal Lego fan. combine that with the fact that over the last two years the Lego rewards points value dropped by 30% and it's becoming an issue
Honestly this is a scam at 150$ even with pneumatics. Should’ve been 100$ max and probably would’ve sold better if such
Pneumatics have always cost more
@@Sean-me4fv then how can the 42128 tow truck have 2000 pieces and contain pneumatics but only costs 160$?
A great review, and a blunt honesty about the price gouging. LEGO is giving us a new twist on "less is more"!
I'm still a sucker for pneumatic and construction sets, and I might have to get this one eventually.
I will wait for a sale, it is priced higher than the new tow truck where I am.
A great review, as always. Thanks!
The tow truck is such a good set, both overall technically and from a value point of view. It got me back into Lego.
Great review !
I love these material handlers lego is putting out.
I used to make them as a kid when i got my hands on some pneumatic parts in the late 90's. It is basically where my interest in machines all started.
Later on i used a small electric airbrush compressor to power my pneumatic technic models. Worked wonders!
These days i'm an operator on mobile (spierings) tower cranes. Cant wait for the Liebherr crawler crane😁
Cool idea, to use an airbrush compressor.
I like the magic that happens at 4:00 ;)
There are strange things in the Upsidedown... Some stuff might be upside down :)
Papa!...had me in splits 😆🙏🏼...yeah, the tow truck and the Airbus helicopter are true Technic sets to own 🙏🏼... sadly we don't know where lego will go with their pricing options...gotta wait for discounts 🙏🏼😞...and can't wait to see what you review next, Bro 🤔😋🙏🏼☺️
Nice collection, I've just started collecting myself! Great video.
I love that even though 1 dollar = 1 euro, we still have different prices on each, makes a lot of sense :))))
I just picked this up new for AU $90 (about US $58), which feels like an amazing deal. I'm really looking forward to it - it will be my first Technic set since 8040 (the original pneumatic set), which I must have gotten as a kid about 35 years ago. Can't wait to build it.
LMAO! At the “Papa?” 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the review Balazs! I have the Volvo excavator with PF upgrade, so I think I'll skip this one and get the Helicopter. And maybe the Galaxy Explorer and the DeLorean. And as you mentioned in your Atari video, a brick built Commodore 64 would be nice.
Racing Brick i have a question: what would you say is a good mid level technic set? I am trying to get into technic and I wanted to know your opinion.
I prefer the 42139 atv it is good starter technic set
@@sidhusbrickworld2578 i will look into it, thanks!
McLaren Senna
ATV is really great, that's my favorite mid-size set from this year.
All Terrain 6*6 vehicle. Mustang GT500 or heavy duty excavator are still great price/value . especially starter that want more than just $20 for 100 piece miniature .
let me know what you chose. I am curious
The volvo crane was really fun to build!
Much larger than I expected!
I like its scale.bigger than i expected
From one side, it is very cool set, but form another for this price 42128 looks much more attractive.
120 Euros is crazy for what you get. I bought 42098 car transporter for less.
When this was announced in June the price was gonna be $100. It was a day 1 buy for me at that price. $150 is preposterous.
I bought Zetros with damaged box for 150EUR.
super video
I really want this
Aha, so we can shall wait till Sep 2022, in case Lego will release Liebherr 42146
A comparison with set 42006 would still be nice to see. Similar piece count. Diff wheels/tracks. Same operation using actuators vs pneumatics.
Nice vid as always.
I'm sure someone will do it, I don't have all Technic sets ready to be filmed unfortunately :)
for 150€ they could at least include a motorized pump. or release it as it is for 100€ retail so you can get it for 60-70€ after discounts wich would be reasonable. like it is, it is way too much money for three manual pneumatic functions on wheels.
I have the Volvo EW160E (i got it for 105$ CAD instead of 150$ CAD) and it is much better than this. More pieces, you can motorize it (the instruction is included in the manual at the end). This one is 200$ CAD + taxes for less pieces.
It would have been a nice set, if it was half the price. L€GOs pricing is crazy. I think that it is possible to build something very similar with the parts from the tow truck. The tow truck was the last set i bought from L€GO, fortunately i bought it before the price was raised by more than 40%.
Is there a way to permanently keep the boom on an elevated position? If I simply pump with the left switch turned on the left, some slow air loss will eventualy have it come down.
Is it me or did the big turntable change? Seems like it no longer supports bevel gears? Any way to check? Thanks!
8:20 That is on many heavy duty machines in the similar construction for keep "things" there
I'm broke! Need a loan to buy all the Legos technics that are out and coming soon. As always your builds and opinions are appreciated. I like that you admit when you make a mistake because we all do.
I really think Lego should be consistent with their pricing… Also, they should maintain the price of a set more or less the same in different countries
That's an okay 70 Dollar set. But 150 bucks is an insult to the intelligence of customers.
Nice review, as always.
For an 800pc set costing $150, it should include the power function components to at least drive the pump.
The 42053 was released in my dark ages but still I would prefer it to the new one. And checking ebay for the last weeks one could get a good in shape 42053 for under 50€ if one can wait and don't need a mint condition box or won't buy the first one. just be patient and buy a good used one from a no scalper
Only thing I like about the newer one, it's red.
The tow truck is the best set of the past year for pneumatic by far.
Maybe I could build it with my existing bricks
Is there anymore Technic sets coming out this year
To be honest I actually thought that this would be a control set by the looking of the box
you can rebuild the towtruck with instructions into the material handler lol
the small yellow cilinder actually looks shorter than the ones we got before, can you fact check that? (i dont have either of them on hand lol)
I love. Legos !
Maybe this set could’ve been 150$ if it was fully remote controlled and pneumatics as that would be more comparable to the Rc cars of near similar price
Hi, Balazs. They are not showing the claws on the part list, right? Or I am starting to have vision problems.
Lol you are right, apparently they forgot them :)
If only they brought back the air tanks for these manual pumping models
I just bought this kit and in Australia you will be paying $169 for this set. as I normally like building the trucks I have the heavy duty tow truck, car transporter and the mack container truck so this should be easy
in eu the price dropped to 100 euro and now has xmas discount to 70 euro.
Hi! Havent seen all the videos jet , but I was wondering if you kight happen to know why is the air tank so rare part of pneumatic sets?
I'm not sure what is the reason for that, lately all sets have either manual pumps as the system is not that complicated or have a motor installed
The price alarms me.
Edit: commented before the end of video, glad you agree!!
I recently got the Technic tow truck/wrecker which was £134.
This is £124 and has no where the same amount of parts or functions…
why is it cheaper to buy it with euro
where I live the price of the tow truck is quite a bit higher than the material handler
the only way you can say it was a good idea to buy this lego set was if you got it on special offer, but once constructed like other technic lego sets who actually plays with this set for a long time before moving onto the next technic set, as long as were buying these complicated sets to have something difficult to build, and off course an amazing lego model to look at then that`s ok, there certainly is things in the shops that we should have bought rather than perhaps buying yet another technic set to add to our already large collection, but then we buy these lego sets for the fun of building them and how great they look on our shelves. and there is nothing wrong in that,
1:43 unfortunately, I don't think this is a Pythagorean Triangle, the pieces have lengths of 4, 5, and 6 which are not Pythagorean Triples , meaning that this is either not a right triangle, or it is stressing the pieces to force a right triangle.
You count from center to center of the pins, so the outer 1/2 stud at each end isn't part of the triangle.
If you are counting holes, start with 0
If you are counting length (or walls between holes), count normally
Either way it IS Pyth. triple
The sides "meet" in the center of the pin hole, and not at the end of the beams, so the distance between the "corners" is 3,4,5 :)
Why are the hoses longer? They were also longer in the Heavy Lift Tow truck. Kind of confusing
For easy routing of the pneumatic hoses
I have the same one but i dosent stand up why is that
I finish building it but why it is not working?
From 3:58 to 4:00 the upper cylinder is upside down:)
Are there any new pneumatic sets that are battery powered, not by hand? When I was young in the 90's I had the 8868 and loved it!
you can motorize the Volvo EW160E with Power Function parts, you can even put lights in it.
@@danielsala81 yes, I know this, but I was wondering if there are any sets which come with the motorized pneumatic system as standard, so You don't have to buy anything extra or modify the set in any way.
@@qv81 the only one i know and is the most recent (but a retired one, sadly) is the LEGO Technic 42080 Forest machine, it's pneumatic and comes with a large PF motor and battery box (no need to buy extra parts). You can get it from Bricklink new and sealed starting from 100 euros (132$)
42043 Arocs had Pneumatics and other functions driven by a motor. It´s probably the nearest new iteration of 8868. But that was from around 2014 or 15 I think.
@@philp8872 yeah, except that set is $450+ new on bricklink or 270$ used.
Is this set is worth for 91 euro? I'm not sure if the price will be lower, but can anyone give advice on it? I kinda like the design but the price is... less than ideal for me.
42144 is the Wish version of the Volvo. Wtf
Régen minden jobb volt, akkor amikor még ezekben a pneumatikus készletekben voltak “puffer” tartályok, amivel kicsit egyenletesebben lehetett szabályozni a mozgásokat.
🥂🍾
$150 for not even a 1000 pieces is insane
I think it would be worth comparing the 42144 with the 42006 tracked excavator model, which also has a gripper, but it is all mechanical. At first I was interested in this crane. Personally, I have the 42006 model and looking at your presentation of hydraulics in this model, I will give up on the 42144 in the meantime. The more that I can see how the gripper has practically only an on / off function. For a widely advertised model, I think it is overrated. And this price! o.o
Good video 😀
I feel like I should just buy a few tow trucks and transformation vehicles just to save money on parts
Hmmm...sorta annoying to hand pump continuously. I am still waiting for a pneumatic set that's a must have for me. Been waiting over a decade, heh. Something cool. With a motor or something like that.
Prices for everything is going up. Unfortunately LEGO products are a luxury purchase, not a necessity. I'll be waiting for sets to come on sale at the discount websites.
I totally want this, but I will not pay Lego’s full price out of sheer stubbornness. A $100 sale price would do the trick, and if we vote with our wallets, it can happen.
This looks like a rebranded Volvo material grapler
This thing needs a tank for the pneumatics...
The material handler has an advantage over the ew160e in that the pneumatic tubing on the boom is neatly arranged while on the latter the tubing is messed up as seen in Sariel's review.I also think that the material handler is too overpriced as it costs 120 EUR \150 USD for just 835 pieces.This is the same price as the 42128 tow truck which aso has pneumatics but more advanced mechanisms and 50% more pieces.The absence of a b model for this set which is non licensed and has high price and almost same functions as ew160e is non understandable
I think they're just trying to sell the pneumatic functions on this one, hoping that people will buy it because we haven't seen pneumatics in a while. It has nice functions, but I believe the more serious Lego enthusiasts will either buy this set for the cylinders or not buy it at all.
A bit too overpriced for an unliscenced set with less bricks than the Volvo, I don't recommend anyone going for it unless you really need the pneumatics.
"hoping that people will buy it because we haven't seen pneumatics in a while".....The Heavy Duty Tow Truck came out last year, it has pneumatics too, cost the same price and has over 2000 pieces. 1 year is not a while yet.

The first time I saw this, I thought this set was the size of the rough terrain crane… What a disappointment.
i honestly thought ok. that's a $99 set maximum $119 after price gauging. i mean greed. i mean inflation.
$149. nope. Thanks. I'll wait for bricklink and eBay end of year or target gift cards
150 dollars💀
not a bad set, but terribly overpriced... damn
No airtank. Why. 😖
Kids need to pump more these days! :)
Airtank was discontinued decades ago…
@@catzzzz1450 was a good moment for lego to start over again with the airtank. The sets I have with airtank all work fine still. Would be a great sellling point
I have to say that the overall quality of the instruction sets is getting worse. The part list for each step is centered too much to the left that eventually, the manual fold hides them. This is also true of some micro steps that sometimes are so close to the fold that you may need to ruin your manual. Never mind the mistakes in the large 1:8 sets. Common LEGO, you can do better.
120 euros for 900 parts, give or take.
I’m done, LEGO.
🎊 ρɾσɱσʂɱ
I love this set..... But my wallet doesn't
120 euro for 800 pieces....😅🤣 lego really is expensive as heck these days.
sounds like a arbitrage.
Legos are getting too expensive nowadays
Theyve always been this expensive…
way to overpriced
More often than not your lack of knowledge of the real world machines leads you to make dumb comments in your videos. This videos one was the "flappy red panel" pretty much every real excavator has a tool box right there and they open upwards
Well I'm sure you are the kind of person who knows everything about all the machines of the world, us mere mortals are not that lucky. Usually I have kind commenters who correct me in a constructive and informative way, but occasionally I have people like you who feel the need to add condescending remarks on top of that.
