Now time for the durability test!

I showed this video to my wife a few weeks before Christmas. She asked me if I was going to order one and build it. I told I'd love to have one but there'd be no way I would ever spend that kind of money on a toy, especially since I'm 52 years old. Christmas was two days ago and guess what? My wife surprised me with this same crane as one of my Christmas presents. I was so happy to the point to wheee I thought I was going to fall out of my wheelchair from so much joy and happiness. I've had the crane for a little over 50 hours and I probably have over 24 hours already invested in the building process of the crane. I'm very behind on sleep but I just want to finish my crane. I just finished the first book and it's so awesome so far. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten further in the building process if I weren't such an OCD person in making sure every single part is just perfect. By that I mean even the application of each and every one of the decals are centered and in place just perfectly. But I know in the end my crane will be built with precision accuracy which is something I know I will enjoy for a long time. I love my wife so much for her never ending quest to make me happy. She does that very well........

Cambrey: we finished Zach: time for durability test

That is an outstanding video. I’m 72 years old, and I’d love to build one of those. Hand on to that girl, treat her right. If she’ll do that with you, she’s definitely a keeper!

As someone who lives in Denmark it’s great to see the joy that Lego gives people 😊 hope you do end up build something else. Allow me to recommend that Bugatti you mention in the video. I’m building it right now and can’t wait to see it finished 😄

Given it looks like the set has a fully functioning engine, I wonder if you could retrofit some kind of air pressure system onto this system. If so, how much psi would it take to move the assembled components.

Wow, that's a very cool and complex lego build. It would be a shame if someone *dropped it*

Nice job you two!! Very impressive!! Didn't know Lego made sets with that much detail. Thanks for showing us this!!

Actually the purpose of a differencial is to allow for different rotation speeds of the wheels when turning, the downside is that if one wheel gets off the ground or on to a slippery surface, the other wheel has little to no power delivered to it!

Wow. And honestly, that's a very strong motor. Because of it's size I'd have thought there'd be 2, it look's too small to be able to move everything.

Good job guys, was fun to watch you two work together on a project.

Dam. 17 hours over 3 days and two people to build?! A lot of fun tho. Agree with you, keeps the mind, hands (and in some cases feet trying to find bits on the floor that dropped) active. Lego may be a little on the more expensive side, at least it lasts for years (not like some things) and ya can make many different things out of one box or let the imagination go wild with many different sets. Thanks for the video.

*Seeing Zach build something instead of tearing it down is almost as rare as finding a good KZonlines Rewind*

What's even more amazing than the crane, it the fact you guys were able to build it together... Thats like Ikea, but over 9000!

I absolutely love LEGO and also when growing up I had Meccano Erector sets. It is super nice seeing you and your significant other working on this together. You two are awesome as always !!

Imagine being the folks actually creating this set, must take an insane amount of time to create the set from start to finish and at the same time make all the steps, makes you understand why these sets are so pricey.

This man makes building Lego’s sound so professional

I’ve built larger, but that is impressive for a kit 👍 I had sets throughout the 80’s and 90’s they had less cheat parts then

Imagine how difficult it was to design the whole project and to put all those drawings and steps with that level of details, and all of that's just for a one product!!! People of LEGO deserve a salute and a like.

My hats off to the guy who had to write and publish the Lego build manuals for these Lego sets. Putting those instructions together must be really hard and time intensive. I b=purchased the blue and yellow catamaran sail boat

I have the MK II mobile crane and the goose excavator. Something you should know is that once every two years or so bigger technic units have slight warping of parts, so it’s good to disassemble and reassemble...

I'm 64 and my daughter surprised me at Christmas with the Technic Airbus H175 helicopter. Lots of fun to build, and you're totally absorbed during the process. I'm not finished yet, I just haven't had the time. But every time I get back into it, it's like rediscovering how fun it is!

That looks like lots of fun building, plus the mechanical moving parts too

I wanted this set since I saw this video two years ago and I finally bought it last year. It was SO FUN TO BUILD. Thanks!!

Couple goals. A match made in Heaven. Zack and LEGOs.

I have the 4x4 truck.. It is remote cotroled and as a preaty solid suspension.. I have recently rebuilt it for like a 3rd time and added some features I personally prefered and I thought would make it better, and they did.. I moved the gearing outside of the vehicle so I can easily change the gears based on the type of movement I want. Now the only limit os the power of motors, but even now, it can climb some really sweet altitudes... It nearly passes obsticles that are higher than the diameter of the wheel..

Well Zack, You convinced me. I bought both this set and the Bugatti Chiron. I am so excited to put these things together with my daughter. Grandpa operates cranes so it will be something special to show to him as well. I love the videos and watch them all the time. Truly inspiring.

The good thing about Lego kits vs other regular RC kits is you can just walk around the floor barefoot to find those lost/dropped parts...

Nice set - plenty of features, however I wish Lego would return somewhat to their earlier philosophy and do something about their boxes. As being over 45 I recall they used to have great reinforced boxes in the past with multiple compartments - basically the equivalent to a storage box that came with the set. But now its just bags - it they even gave resealable bags that would be useful - but the boxes in the past were the biz!!! Their earlier philosophy involved producing several Technic Ideas books, that showed you how to combine smaller technic sets into bigger models.

Your wife seems like a great person, I'm glad she has someone like yourself to care for her. Makes me smile

I would be so flipping happy if you kept uploading videos like this.

I remember when Lego Technic sets had all the pieces on one or two bags instead of each section being in a bag of it's own (and they weren't multicoloured either).

Holy....the Lego Imagineers are really making amazing things these days! I remember the old Technic crane and car kits when I was a kid, these are a hundred times more complex and awesome!

Great video and awesome build. I find having a small container to put the pieces in so that don't get lost

This is much bigger and more intricate than the crawler crane 42042, which is the only Lego set I have. I hope to afford this bigger crane someday.

Wow that looks so fun I love building them but once they are built I never know what to do with them lol

You may think that's a nightmare to be done by Jerry. Then you remember how many hours it has taken to be designed by Lego's engineers! omg

I wanna know how Lego quality controls these massive sets so all pieces are accounted for. It'd suck if you spend days working on this just to be missing key pieces.

Putting the sets like this together is insane, but having to design the manuals much be even more insane lol.

What a challenge, love seeing you guys together.

I bought the LEGO set after watching this video and I do not regret it one bit. This is an amazing set and I hope he does another video like this!

A little proud of our local factory: Lego. I remember the building blocks in the 60és, have them still. We have been in Legoland every summer as young (very primitive) but for sure with the kids. Not long ago i purchased a big set - we have them in supermarkets, online or in a lot of hobby shops. Lego also have two shops in Copenhagen. Thats a bit disappointing, some built and them spare brick market and sales of boxes. Could be nice, but very sterile and limited

I always feel like those Lego kits were so expensive, but after watching this video i change my opinión, 270 dollars for all those mechanical pieces that work perfectly together is not that much. PD: Cambry is so beautifull, I hope science can restore her legs funcionality soon!

I am so happy to see Jerry build something instead of destroying it

I know the point of them to send this to you is to get other people to buy it, and I was going to buy it. I looked it up ready to purchase one... but $400 that’s absolutely insane.

I have one and I like it very much. I added lights kit and I removed the V8 engine to install 2 motors , one for the steering and I created a piece with 2 Lego bars to be able to motorise translation. With a 8 teeth pinion on L-motor, I was able to put a 12 teeth gear to reach the red 16 teeth gear centered in the truck. The results are amazing. I controlled direction and translation with a remote control.

My son just build this Crane! He saved up for it for almost a year. He made one mistake and that was to reverse on of the differentials. Luckily he caught it early and it was an easy fix. It was his first Technic set. He's 8.

I do love it whenever someone does one of these Legos and you can see bits and pieces left over. Hmm... Job well done?

17 hours? she's a keeper!

I have crain #42009 not as many peices but still pretty impressive when put together. My father out did me though. He got a remote controlled lego technique bulldozer and front end loader. Talk about awesome I'm so jealous. Would be a great time to have just had lower back surgery this morning. Be alot of sitting around the house recovering. Just praying I dont have to miss much work😔

The detail is incredible

5:20 It made me so happy to hear someone actually say this as many construction crews in my area have no idea themselves when erecting signs 😂

I bought the blue and white crawler crane kit, different functions, pulley lifting etc. I swapped for this red crane, then switched back, then bought the off road truck kit that can be operated with blue tooth and a mobile phone. Lego was made for Covid. My son and grandson have had great times building and operating these kits. Never too old for technic lego.

Sharing the lego experience looks like true love to me

You should definitely try make it transparent :D

Building Lego from kits is about as technically demanding as doing a 500 piece jigsaw. Some videos on KZonlines show people who design and build their own creations . Now that is truly impressive, it shows a high degree of creativity and technological know how.

I'm 35 years old and I really like building huge lego technic sets. Once I'm done with testing the different functions I will try to make them better and after testing the functions again I will probably never touch the model again. Building it is the fun part.

been on a technic kick recently due to quarantine. just ordered this one today. got the Volvo articulated hauler a few days ago and spent about 13 straight hours building it. and it has half the pieces that the crane does. can't wait!

This an amazing boys toy, my son got this kit second hand, rebuilt it and it is incredible, so many motorised functions all working from 1 motor. These kits could be so rewarding in these days of self isolation.

Lets not forget that there are MOCs... I have lego crane MK2 and there are plenty of MOCs that you can build from this set... I bet its similar with this one... With my MK2 I already build several other things... I bought also lego servo, sbrick and another motor and I was able to build dump truck controlled completely by my phone... :)

No bend test! No fire test! No scratch it! Jerry sold out to Lego guys.

Imagine how time consuming it was for the guy who designed this crane to actually bring it fully together...

Lego has the same history as minecraft. It started with a few basic blocks, then evolved into tons of technical and cool blocks/parts.

That is a really cool set. Definitely not a 'little lego'. It's a HUGE set

Wow, this is the coolest set I've seen. Awesome video!

Okay It’s official now.. if she builds a Lego technic set with you .. she’s your soulmate!!

The next thing you should do is the bucket excavator, it’s absolutely amazing

the lego design team is something else.

It’s not magic just another faithful follower/crane operator that loves following you keep the great videos going

My life feels complete seeing a crane be built.

£250 in the UK. I initially thought wow, that's expensive but having seen the video, I can see why it costs that much.

Girl literally sat through and helped build a Technic set for 17 hours. She's a keeper! FYI I am well aware that she is disabled, so please stop commenting that "dude she cant walk", as if that forces a disabled person to sit through stuff and hobbies they arent into. I've literally seen a guy who cant use his legs ride a sports bike. (A speciall customized version) People have also climbed mountains without legs...

Always wanted to work on this TECHNIC sets...but my budget disagrees :( Appreciate you sharing this build...im good with this for now :)

Wow, that's a complex lego build. I have just started lego ford and now i can say Good job guys

Wow that Lego crane is very massive and very expensive really love it❤

I have the exact same set. Kept me well entertained last xmas for sure. Amazing set. £170 from Argos.

A+ for the people who designed this Lego Technic. That must have been HARD AS FUCK.

1:16 *"Like a little Lego"* Man I was waiting for him to say these words in the video and he did not disappoint

Awesome. Thanks for the video as i wanted a lego project that would be challenging and this set is exactly it.

If this set had a suspension it would live up to it's name and it would be the best Lego set of all time

Legos are so cool! I'm surprised i haven't seen a full-scale car yet lol

That is an incredible set and an awesome build I've never built a kit that big but would like to I've just finished the heavy lift helicopter 42052 that was a fun and sometimes frustrating build but I love it the only crane i built was the 42018 mobile crane and I thought that was big but it's a baby compared to this one

This dude built legos and now 2 years later he's building a literal electric hummer

Time for the teardown. I want to see what's inside

Took me about 30 hours ( 5 of those doing surgery and fixing gears I placed backwards 😂) great build love this set well worth the almost 400$ Canadian

Lmao, I love how technical this guy is, and he just throws us a random ball of him and his Girlfriend playing with a lego crane.

Yeah I’m one of the people who can get absorbed in building LEGO’s, and other people can’t understand how I spend 10 hours straight building legos, especially my first technic set which I just recently built, which I did only spend 2 hours on but it felt like 20 minutes

I have so much respect for this guy, all grown up and still having fun with LEGO’s 😝👊

You make these vids so much more interesting then the other Lego vids on other people's channels

All those legos going together just like little ribbon cables

That's cool man u guys nailed it 👊

1 year ago I saw this video and fell in love with his set, I'm proud to announce that yesterday I ordered my dream set(this one) and couldn't be more exited

I had so much fun while building this set

The two of you are very adorable couple. Teaching everyone how to build together.

Just insane , it's already hard enough to get permission from the misses for a $300 RC much less $300 of legos. Ten minutes later: Babe I found something pretty cool!

"We've completed the lego technic set. Now let's take it apart and see what's inside."

I remember playing around a lot with Lego Technic when I was in elementary school in around 1995 as a 9-year-old. I remember that it was immensely stimulating and exciting to build all kinds of objects that I could manipulate in all kinds of ways, and I have always wanted to buy a new set like that some day. I will probably do that this weekend.

This is a triple win for Zack, sponsorship with Lego, got to play with the Legos and spent time with Cambry

building this alone make feel more comfortable 🔥🔥

LoL the anxiety triggers. Oh the triggers!! Tip for new LEGO builders....if you have an iPad scan the QR code on the book for a digital book with pinch to zoom functions. Also....organize the pieces into three containers. Small pieces. Medium pieces and then large ones. Helps to not lose any too. Great video.
