LEGO® Technic Mack® LR Electric Garbage Truck 42167 (8+ Yrs)

I saw this in a store and thought it would be a great set and it took me awhile too get it but when it comes my thoughts on it are that it has a lot of nice designs and play ability.

I purchased this for my grandson. He was thrilled and couldn’t wait to build. He’s playing with the truck daily.

This is a wonderful build, worth the money. Beware of the skinny smooth piece (piece 243101 that is used in step 151) next to the grabber arm. The arm tends to get off center and pop it off when raised... I had to change the piece used in step 100... ended up replacing pieces 4211862+6013938 with a spare 6271165. That fixed it.

Really cool and has lots of detail! Has cool play function. you should buy it!

Interesting piece and works well, enjoyed working with grandson on this project

I had seen this truck and had been lamenting over it for weeks, my wife purchased it for me and it then sat in my closet for weeks again (LONG STORY). Moving on....I began building this and immediately could not wait to complete it and play with it. It has several operating/moving parts that are fun to play with. There is a gear that controls the steering of the vehicle, there is another gear assembly that captures the waste can, lifts, & dumps it, then there is a lever that raises & dumps the truck hold. On top of all those functions it rolls/drives, the doors open, and the mirrors are adjustable. This is a fun build for an adult or child.

The Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck is sleek, compact and affordable. I am so impressed by the way the Lego designers managed to fit all the mechanisms inside this and they work great! It was both a challenging and rewarding build, seeing how the grabbing arm works from the inside was awesome. I hope Lego make more sets like this. I would this recommend to anyone for sure! 5/5

I picked this set up for a few reasons: one, I can't resist a reasonably priced and functional technic set; two, I know my son will love putting this together when he's a bit older (but for now will love playing it); three, this set will be a fantastic challenge for my class to assemble this year as part of our structures and mechanisms unit. Great set all around! Would love to see more like it at this price point:)

Overall this set offers everything I wanted from a model of this utility vehicle and is affordable for what you get + the building process. While I would have preferred the side panels with “recycle” on them to be prints instead of stickers because of the total surface area for each, the only thing that bothers me about this set is the gear box assembly for the arm. The small tan gears are very easy to knock off of their axels, even after the truck is fully assembled, which completely disarms the mechanism; and during the initial construction I had to repeatedly with tweezers put the gears back into place. What I like most from this set is its size and its capacity. It’s very close to minifigure scale and thus can fit into city mocs with relatively small modifications. And the truck’s refuse tank is quite spacious and accommodates almost all minifigure accessory sized elements, making play more intuitive if one would want to introduce heaps more pieces for interacting with the model’s functions.

How can Lego make such a mistake? The instructions for 26-50 were missing. My child was disappointed and gave up on building the product. It's a shame. I don't understand how they can make such a big mistake.

Had no issues with set. A good use of colors Straight forward assembly.

- Great value for the price -Fun but tricky assembly -All gears and mechanisms function well -Sturdy and well designed -Bucket mechanism works well -Fun to play with and display

Nice build,I would certainly recommend it,nice if a free bud came into play

Would be cool if you could fit a figure almost perfect for it and might open up a new market love it
