(More customer reviews)If you look at my past reviews you will find that I'm a fan of these little Technic kits; I find they make great toys and gifts, even for children who are younger than the specified age range. With young kids, you may need to guide them through the build, but this is really a great opportunity to help teach them about turning a plan into something real. It is a good spatial reasoning exercise. The models typically exhibit only one or two interesting mechanical principles, but they are simple, sturdy, and easy for little hands to manipulate.
This kit's mechanical trick is the ability to hook a container (similar to a British skip lorry) and pull it onto the truck bed. This is done by turning the knob at the top of the cab which is connected, via gears, to the lift arms. This is a simple kit, and even though it doesn't have the same wow-factor as Lego's little Technic set from two years ago (the mini-bulldozer), it still has plenty of playability. The set can also be rebuilt into a tow truck, though I'm not terribly enamored with this b-model.
The model is not terribly difficult to build, and because it is held together with pins, it is less prone to parts popping off as occurs on its brick-built cousins. This is a small vehicle, not even large enough to hold a Lego mini-figure, but this never seems to bother my kids. Finally, this kit was introduced as part of Lego's 2011 line and it is among the least expensive of their Technic kits. Lego only produces one or two of these small size Technic sets each year.
