"it was an impulse purchase" relatable
What an honor, I'm in the video! :) The Technic guy really looks nice in the cabin, good catch!
Any time!
This is the best sarcastic LEGO review ever watched 👏🏼👏🏼
Ye true sarcasm!
Like if you saw Boris the Blade ;)
That part made me laugh
So I'm not the only one who thought it looked oldschool, with the lack of panels leaving the mechanics exposed. Even though it would of course look better if it was more polished, I somewhat like it like this... I guess it's nostalgia for older sets. The price is unjustifiable, however.
I love how you wear gloves touching the instructions - and then let your pug lay down on them :D
wear gloves for protecting his fingers I guess
@@user-ik5xx5kw3p from what? Touching Lego through gloves is creepy and weird.
@@dougie8010 your hands are going to get really hurt if play lego alot
@@user-ik5xx5kw3p Play guitar and you won't feel a thing ;)
TH-cam simply has stopped working after review premiere. All were waiting to see this monster in action :)
I like your reviews for plethora of reasons; one that really makes it stand out is showing track tension mechanism via "transparent" track; makes understanding how stuff works (and looks cool as hell :)
I wonder how it was done. So cool
@@toddwz I guess you film it with the tracks removed then film a shot with the tracks attached (leaving the camera in the same spot) and overlay both videos in an editing program and make the shot with the tracks attached semi-transparent
now all sariel needs to do is control the real d11t with parts from this set
He'd have to make 2 whole other videos to cover the rental cost
yooooooo sariel rocks man
despite all the TH-cam (and your pc) shenanigans you managed to do such long videos
props you bro
best review yet also very good critique on the instructions its really area where lego could really improve imo and the CAT wallpapers was just so funny
Wow I have been waiting for that, and this is a really amazing review! Keep going bro
This looks amazing!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Another great review, thank you for doing these, particularly reviewing a set that is certainly well out of my price range. It is nice to see the developments, even if I will never buy the set.
Thanks for reviewing it!
Fantastic review, as usual.
Tbh, Im personally glad it only came with one hub as the gearbox is much more interesting and impressive especially compared to the liebherr that had motors directly to the functions.
Gearbox is literally only put there to earn more money by using fewer motors, and it eats up space, adds friction and ruins the play experience.
Yes there is DEFINITELY room for improvement on the part of LEGO. I am pretty confident they would have taken on board some , if not all the comments; and they definitely have the resource to do something about it. Enjoyed your video, keep it up.
Always liked Lego Technic sets & definitely going to add this one to my collection!
Can't wait to get these new track pieces in a more tank-friendly colour!
Devastator coming along very nicely....
YES !!
This will be amazing
*Looks to the left at 8868* oh yeah, she's a beauty :D Rebuilt it recently, new hoses, oiled the pneumatics, new rubbers. Golden technic times, got it from my dad when he was working in Germany, he would always bring back to Poland some nice sets. 8868, 8460 and 8479 are my prized trio among smaller ones from the 90s. Instructions were crazy back then. "Find these 50 pieces, here's how it should look afterward, figure it out". It took days as a kid to put them together.
This could be turned into a tank as a b model moc
Ybthat sounds nice
happens IRL
It will be the first yellow tank ever!
Haven’t watched the review yet but I know it will be an incredible review like always!
I'd love to see a traction comparison between the new tracks and the older ones. My guess is that the new ones will dig in better and have more traction on soft surfaces, but equal or worse traction on hard surfaces
Well I was undoubtedly gonna get this set but after watching your review of it I’m starting to have second thoughts about getting this set.
Great review. I'm definitely surprised, how wobbly the blade tilting mechanism is ;-) Keep up the great work. Best regards
8:23 this decrease in flexibility is good, as i had tolerance issues with the old gray track. Turns out the particle size of sand on menorcan beaches is perfect for getting Inbetween the links and causing so much friction/wear that the links seperate with some force, they would pop off.
Thanks Sariel, watched this review as soon as a saw it! Maybe I should get the 42100 now that it is discounted everywhere.
4:20 awww, what a cute pug
Great video as usual, keep it up
You save my day!
As both a Lego fan and someone who works around these things and sees them stripped-down and rebuilt every day, this is an easy day 1 buy and a cool way to share with my kids what I do for a living.
That model being an old-school technic build is great(for me at least)! Nice to see how smooth it is too! Cant believe this has a gearbox in it(well now I can, given the price).
What about it?
Great
Amazing 🤩
Hey Sariel. Thanks for the review. the 'Spurs' on the Track Treads are called 'Grousers' on the real item. :)
Damn, I knew I was using the wrong word. Thank you!
I didn't know sariel curses
While we are on the subject of descriptions, on the actual machine, the top sprockets are called just that or 'drive sprockets'; as they are main and only drive mechanism to engage the tracks to move the machine. The two bottom ones are actually called 'idler rollers', to differentiate them from the smaller 'track rollers' that are under the track frame. All the rollers and the track frame bear the weight of the machine. :-)
That's a pretty cool LEGO
Nice review…. I’m a farmer that has driven one. The whole world needs to know where their food comes from!
This is definitely a purchase for me to go with the rest of my lego showcase room.
Cool video i'm waiting for more videos with this model: tests and some more. =)
my christmas gift 🤗
At start, I didn't like too much of this set, but now that I saw on camera, it's like: WOW it's incredible.
Then I suggest you pay attention to something other than its looks because you may be unpleasantly surprised.
I love how you mentioned the 8275. That’s a very nostalgic set for me. I’ve had mine since 2007. The same guy designed both of these dozers
I liked the bigger treads it had so I bought 2 of them.
To add on to the price: Eric Trax made a nice Liebherr PR776 B-model from the 42100 parts, with 2 hubs and 6 motorized functions. Might be worth checking out as 42100 is regularly discounted by 15-25%.
The battery access is so true , i have the mindstorm EV3, the red and black and you had to dismantle it to access the battery
This Chanel is a blast from the past when I was younger I used to watch this guy all the time. at first I didn't recognize the Chanel but the name seemed familiar. so I went back to look at his older videos and I noticed a video. it was the first video I seen of him where he made a chain saw back in 2009 wow. So many good memories
Nice Video 👍
23:55 The 42121 heavy Duty Excavator also had spare track links. AFAIR 2 per each track (4 in total)
Yes
I agreed with your opinions. I wanted to buy when heard the announcement. After watching some videos, I am pending it. Especially, I would be happy if the bucket (yellow part) was made in one piece of plastic.
I do appreciate the gearbox though, because lately gearboxes are becoming a lot more rare, instead we get axles sticking out everywhere driving functions directly
Really appreciate the review. Despite the price simply being to much, and several flaws it's a pretty sizable/functional model. As one who hasn't had a lot of experience assembling Technic models I for one don't mind the dumbed down instructions.
I see good tank content coming up with the new tracks, let’s hope you can get them in grey
Thanks for the review!! I have been waiting for this set all year, just looked it up and it's going to be $750 here in aus (my chin has carpet burn) i knew it was going to be expensive but WoW, My guess as to it being 18+ is you have to be this age to afford it (after you re mortgage the house) Top job as always..... CHEERS.
If those extra wide tracks were black you could build fantastic snowgroomers
That Boris the Blade cameo was a surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one :D
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
I got this set for Christmas and had it assembled in two nights. After playing with it I modified the ripper so that it would go lower. The grill in mine also came with a gray technic brick instead of a black one. Do I contact Lego about it or keep it as a unique flaw?
Much more interesting than the Liebherr in my eyes, but the price is killing this set. Lego needs to rethink their strategy.
Just ordered mine Direct from Lego,I wasn't going to pay the scalpers price on eBay,Cannot wait to get it.
Wow! I loved this set when I first saw it but you've convinced me not to get it now. Feels like they missed out on some key things that would have made this set great! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Now I've got an excuse to buy the two biggest Technic sets!
29:03 makes me immediately pause the video n stare at my 42100 set on the shelf n try imagine comparing the two sets.
@FoxU ye, but i just enjoy having it as the original build, i just like my technic sets being standard a models pretty much
I think I agree about the motors. I'll probably wait for someone like efferman to mod it with a second hub and motors and then build that :D
I'm on stage 4 of 8 at the moment but my job takes priority so hopefully finish it on my next set of days off.
Nice the good old music
Nice!
I like how it's from the same Designer (Markus Kossmann) as the 2007 Dozer.:)
Thanks for doing this review Sariel! You are awesome 😎 I myself am rather dissatisfied with TLG, they dumb EVERYTHING down now. A while back I had some issues with my powerfunctions, the emails they send you are so dumbed down even after I gave them a VERY detailed descriptions my problem. Anyway, thank you for cranking out these reviews! You’re book has been so much inspiration for me. I’m planning on making a trial truck with you old design for the rc 4 speed transmission. I’ll probably post a video on my channel. When I do post it I’ll leave a comment, if you’d leave a comment on it telling me what you think it’d mean a lot to me.
Also I’m only 14
Thanks! ;)
Hi Sariel, is there any chace to replace (sacrifice) the ladder function to ripper's tilt? so there is no fake actuators?
There probably is, but that's a major change.
Its very cool I want one but its so expensive
The lord has arrived
Vietnam with love 🇻🇳
Possibility to Switch the blade for make a transport on a heavy trailer ???
The best thing about the set is Sariel's review and his remarks :))))) The price is nonsensical, really. Nice features otherwise.
Quite the bummer to get the exact same system for the tracks. I really wished there was a bigger variety of road wheels (available ones) that could be paired with the wider tracks.
Though I doubt them to be super interesting for MOC building anyway. If you already go so big as that you need 7 stud wide tracks, you might as well use custom ones
Great video, it’s a cool set for sure but I agree that it is way over priced. Hopefully it’ll go on sale at some point!
Hej, jesteś w stanie jakoś porównać mindstormy Ev 3 do 4? Albo polecisz od tego eksperta?
Great review as always. I am just curious - what was better building experience - Liebherr R 9800 or CAT D11? From the speedbuild, it seemed to me that CAT D11 is much more interesting to build. Unfortunately, I do not have any of the sets :(
I'd say the Liebherr does because it's a much more unusual vehicle than the D11.
Hi Sariel. I like your reviews and thoughts.
Do the LEGO Group take of your (and other reviews) comments to help develop the brand?
I like the look of the new tracks, we finally get a true bulldozer track. All the others have been excavator type.
I like the look of the overall build it is a ture technic build. If people want a detailed model, go buy a die cast. Bit disappointed that blade can't dig or the ripper tilt or go below ground level.
Thanks. No, I don't think they do.
And the musics are epic. What they are?
You stated that the new 7-wide track is less flexible than the 5-wide track. There's actually two versions of the 5-wide track. The one you used in this video was the old one which is more flexible. There is also the new 5-wide track which is less flexible and probably similar to the 7-wide track. The difference is that there are two small extra bits of plastic (about 1x1mm) right beside the hinge on the track pieces.
What is that second music? It’s fantastic♥️♥️
So, two questions:
all the gears and universal joints make it seem like there would be a lot of things getting messed up. Like don't all the gears cause lots of flimsyness in the blade elevation and stuff? Also, is the blade itself flimsy? You don't have to answer cause I'm not going to get this. I was just curious
(And wow had to edit this 3 times because I didn't proof-read)
Wondered why the older treads had more flex
I completed the Liebherr and the Land Rover recently. Both boxes had parts missing, which was not ideal !! I ordered missing parts from the Lego website which worked well , I wonder if this is the case with all boxes being sold.
I think I had one case of pieces missing from a LEGO set in my entire life.
There were also 2 spare links in the 42006 set. Although, I can be wrong.
Kaget gw
It may look bad, but it expresses perfectly my feelings on my ideal industral lego technic:
-Chonky
-"Crude"
-Smooth but chonky gearbox
-Industrial
-Lots of industrial functions
-Things work well but not everything has to work exsactoy as planned.
For me, only the arocs, yhe 2011 crane,the bwe and the d11t match this ideals.
I'm thinking likely worth quite a bit in the future right around $1,000-$1,500 . I hope the app doesn't become obsolete in 20 years . Be really cool if lego built a wireless remote for this that will link up to other models
Hi I'm getting this set for Christmas and I was wondering wondering if you did the speed up post build if so can you put the real time build up so I know what I'm getting into or if you don't do you know anyone that does
And how would the real time build help?
@@searme it would just allow me to see what 8m getting into that and it would give me something to do idk i watched a real time build of the biggatti and now I love watching real-time build
Advice for any casual reader: if you like Technic, get the 42128 tow truck instead. At the very least, just watches Sariels review on that, just for comparison.
+7 to appreciation for 8275 - the truest thing!
What makes me cringe when watching a Technic speedbuild is when bags are being opened with just liftarms, panels and pins. No gears whatsoever. I thought this was Technic. Worst offender was the 42083 Bugatti, but this Cat's blade and cabin assemblies are guilty of this too. I find it a worrying trend that, I think, has started since piece counts exploded. Only a few years back, sets were 2000 pieces at most. Then I don't mind building a blade or a cabin. But now, it looks like a chore.
That "CAT game"... just, wow. That might be the worst app I have seen.
By the way, I really expected a "cat for scale" ;)
Theres needs to be an MOC KillDozer made from this set
Any idea why this set has different motors to the Liebherr?
Looking at the parts numbers only the hub is the same... Are those smaller motors otherwise identical to the Liebherr ones or is something changed in them?
Different motors? But they're the same and not smaller.
@@searme I am probably getting confused, I was trying to see if there was perhaps a difference in the motors you get with this set vs Liebherr to understand why you get so many more in the Liebherr at the same total cost.
The big motors are clearly different, but the smaller motors in both sets look the same but have different codes in the Lego Manual - I might be reading something into that which isn't there?! (perhaps different length cords??)
I have to say that despite the price, can’t help but love this set and I can’t wait to pick it up day one
In about 1 year this set will be around 280 euro, just like the Liebherr.
Can you combine new tracks with old ones?
Sure.
I remember REALLY wanting the 8275 bulldozer when I was younger and never having the money for it... now, I have a job and will definitely be buying this one, even thought it won't be the "motorization pioneer" the old one was
edit: I'll keep thinking about it
Buy an old used one
So far just watching the video with the instructions I can say I feel you on them being too simple. I recently built the 911 Turbo, first set I've done in probably 2-3 years now and i was like oh my god can we do more than 2-3 pieces per step per page XD. They need a TL;DR version of them.
Does these new tracks have rubber attachments?
No.
Gold Rush Tony Beets wants this.
