Biggest Lego Technic Set Ever!!! Bucket Wheel Excavator 42055 | Unbox Build Time Lapse Review

[@accumbularatedop5468]

Stuff like this really shows how cool of a company Lego is. They seem to have a passion for their work that you don't really see in other toy makers now or really ever. Truly amazing.

[@henrysullivan2980]

I agree

[@thebrickboy9330]

Yeah it's a dream job

[@5511MocProductions]

Yeah, right!

[@StrikerFX47]

You are so right.

[@DesignJunkie58]

LEGO is awesome because you can actually build your models...they don't come prefrabricated or constructed!

[@green772]

Who else had fantasies of using this set to clean up a Lego pile?

[@BrickVault]

with a second motor that could be a reality for this set, just needs a little more power

[@green772]

BrickVault I understand. Can you guys change it up and make a video showing us how to improve it? I would love to see what it can do a huge Lego pile :D

[@5511MocProductions]

Lol :D

[@DarkiDarkkiller]

Yeah try to make it stronger

[@jx592]

Dumps every Lego drawer out 😎🚬 challenge accepted

[@Linuxdirk]

It’s Friday evening and I’m sitting here watching a man building a giant Lego Technic set. Wow.

[@RaND0mDud3WAsH3rE]

Linuxdirk same

[@murilofelipe3978]

Same here

[@philips170t]

Linuxdirk I am getting this coming Monday.

[@HuntTheMachine]

What an insane build, thanks for sharing. I remember when I was really young and regular X-Wings and trucks would seem massive, but this is just crazy. Hope you guys find somewhere to store it!

[@macgaming-gs6co]

dude i have a 2000 piece cargo plane and its small compared to this

[@undead.rising]

Is that the white cargo plane from about 2-3 years ago? That's only about 1350 pieces (I have it and I love it). This set is just under 4000 pieces, which makes it about 3x the amount. So yes, as a person who has both sets - it dwarfs almost every set I own.

[@SiddhantParkar]

It doesn't dwarf the Saturn V though.

[@loganasaurusrex8246]

The sheer enormity of this build is astounding

[@justinasbury4956]

Thanks for the review. Santa bought me this for Christmas. I got keen on this model when I saw it last year. I live in a city that has a coal port, so we literally see these massive machines digging away filling up ships with coal every time we go down to the harbour. So when a Lego version became available I just had to have one. While it does contain a kazillion parts, I didn't find this model took all that long to complete. I did it in 4 nights, probably spending 3-4 hours each night while having a movie or the sport on TV. I wasn't in any particular hurry but could have probably knocked at least one night off the build (as the time i did spend was fairly interrupted). Night 1 did the truck and base + tracks (bags 1-3). Night 2 was the support and lower conveyor (bags 4-5). Night 3 was the main digger assembly (bag 6) And the final night was the motor and bits to pretty the build up (bags 7-8). By far bag 6 was the biggest portion of the build with the most parts....and took the longest. It was also the most difficult as the component becomes quite cumbersome to manoeuvre around as the build progresses. I probably slightly disagree with one thing you said about the difficulty of the build. I would consider it to be one of the more technical builds, just in the point that it has a tonne of gears and parts that need to be set up. While it wouldn't have been too difficult for me to have built when I was in the recommended age range on the box, I would probably say its more of a +16 model than a 12-16. Though having said that I was building large technic sets solo when i was about 9, as my dad was fairly useless at anything mechanical. Things I love about this model are the scale and functionality. Its probably why technic is my favourite brand of Lego as they tend to be things that work and display how they work. And who doesn't love a big Lego model?!?! I also liked that the motor came as part of the set. These days, these items are usually added extras for another $100 or so, so its great Lego didn't gouge more money by selling it separately. Things i wasn't so impressed about was the manual raising and lowering of the digger. It really would have been 50 simple parts more to integrate it with the other gear-sets. So they probably skimped a bit on design here. It was also fairly good value for money, with a LOT of smaller and less interesting sets costing a fair bit more. All in all a great model, and a great talking point when people walk in to see it displayed on the coffee table.

[@dovahben8103]

His poor fingers after that...

[@zionadam6425]

Lol 😂😂😂😂

[@5511MocProductions]

Lol xD

[@majstealth]

decon 42042 is messy as hell^^

[@evanslow3152]

i literally build this set last christmas...took me 12 damn hours...twice as long as expected....

[@fredflintstone6658]

My one of these took me 3 days but I was younger than the age guidelines

[@aredesuyo]

When I was a kid, all larger-sized LEGO set boxes had a front flap. Through the cellophane sheet underneath, you could see the included minifigs and a selection of the more specialized elements in the set.

[@MarzNet256]

I use dry garbanzo beans as rocks for my Technic construction equipment. Very realistic. A mountain of uncooked rice would probably work really well with this set.

[@runsliketurtle1791]

youre right

[@Piquant-ro4ff]

Lego is a toy that you are never to old to play with

[@galactaytegd8924]

This is the coolest Technic set I have ever seen! This is so big! 😜

[@jettburns8879]

That instruction manual was so thick, wow! What an awesome build!

[@TheDrumsKT]

this looks like it was a lot of fun to build! awesome model!

[@akselsyftestadlister7281]

the lego guy is like noooo 8:27

[@blablaennogwat]

My dear friends!! I do have to say that you left some pretty important feature left out! The lock on the second belt SEEMS a bit functionless but do keep in mind it locks on a Base level, so even when the rotation of the big arm is engaged the second arm stays in place! This makes it possible that the dump truck stays on one place while the unit is grinding along the hillslide.

[@Minifiguremania8]

Wow! The biggest Technic set! I'm not a big technic guy but OMG 😱😱😱

[@maxkramhft8816]

I want to give that to my dad it is his bday soon

[@Doot139]

Does he even like Lego?

[@StrappyWave]

+Soffor Unessa well if he doesn't they could buildit together so it could be fun for each look good and have a bonding experience

[@jx592]

if he likes Legos he'll love it even if not it's just a really cool set, and it's from his favorite person...trust me, as a dad I know who my favorite person is, he could give me a flaming paper bag of dog turd

[@aquatibrick387]

Max knows his dad better than you...

[@saulward8801]

+AquatiBrick yes

[@chrissp2325]

The thickness of the box is just insane 😱

[@undead.rising]

Of the numbered bags, all the bags with a *6* on them take about about a third (or maybe just slightly more) of the entirety of the set's pieces. For slow builders, this section will take you at least a day. I'm fast, but I like to multi-task and watch a TV show on my laptop at the same time, so I build at the rate of about 200-300 pieces per hour, which I would think is a moderate-fast speed, and got section 6 done in about five hours.

[@lucasvictorino359]

11 hours 15 minutes!!!! now that's commitment to building a lego set

[@ishan8959]

Legend says the boxes at the back are still filled with Legos

[@benjomacc]

Bought this yesterday from my local shop, took me 16 hours to build it. Fingers feel like they are recovering from burns but it sits proudly above my computer. Tried to use it to destroy my kids lego village as "the bad guy" but it didn't have the power to do much. Did most damage walking over stuff than bucket damage. Get's stuck easily such a shame the motor lets its down with such an incredible and huge build.

[@EbenCT_]

This is still my favourite lego set after 6 years

[@MajDuty]

I enjoy knolling the pieces. Nothing too crazy r time consuming just organizing like colors and pieces together. Not in a rush to finish a build.

[@seanlynch9306]

I got it for Christmas and it took me about the same time it took him. I built it in two days, each about 6 hours of building. It was a ton of fun I must say!! I just wish it was easier to take it apart because I want to build the second model.

[@jaidenoTUBE]

This set is huge!

[@bradburymartin13]

the movable boom conveyor is a very cool feature try lock it off and then put the rotation on the main body it will stay relatively in one place within its turn radius try it

[@itsaneternityinthere]

Whoever Builds this In A Day Has My Everlasting Graditude.

[@Catonaut.]

Xander Shukites It's not that difficult. It's my 11th lego technic vehicle and I just got for christmas and built in in 11 hours

[@BANG-ce9cc]

its not hard just follow the instructions. and also all the bricks are in nice packages so they are easy to build whiteout loosing bricks

[@BANG-ce9cc]

***** if you open all packages at once you are stupid

[@limitgaming9589]

Xander Shukites I did dat

[@CarstenSvendsen]

It's no problem, 8 hours not including food breaks. It's so much faster when you don't have to measure everything 1:1 but know the lengths and sizes by heart.

[@xxkillerxwolfxx1777]

A Lego set this big would make me want to organize the pieces by color!

[@jntrains4526]

thank you for entertaining me whilst i build my Lego excavator

[@TheNereman]

you know im old and i still play with lego but since then and now damn legos have evolved

[@aidanbecker8509]

Holy crap that was alot of connector pegs and friction pegs

[@b1gbruh894]

I hope that the Lego company still keeps making Legos for years to come.

[@davidtruman22]

I've got this set it is awesome I built it in 12 hours

[@cloutyrelly4402]

David Truman good nice i have it to i use it to clean up my legos

[@SubsonicH]

12 hours? It took me over 2 weeks

[@davidtruman22]

I've got this set and it is awesome, it took me 12 hours to build, I can't wait for the next massive set to come out

[@Kermit_de_Frog]

11:44 what are those parts called that hold up the bucket part, when the gear is turned the scooper raises and lowers?

[@meltroxgeolix5675]

I haven't wanted LEGO for a long time, but now seeing this... I suddenly want it. Being that I have the Mobile Crane MK II (awesome btw) I have a love for massive technic sets. Even though I only have one big one XD.

[@Andrew-bb7ci]

This may be big as hell but I love it, honestly that's so cool

[@ebricks7104]

Could you PLEASE make a video of it cleaning up a pile of lego!

[@mapledoctor3915]

Did you watch the video? It can't do that.

[@simonpennybernard-smith9744]

+Jacob H (MrGAEM) Yes it can ! Watch the technic designer vid here on youtube and it shows that all you need is the right setup and it will happily mine...

[@makutamiserix5612]

I remember back when I wanted the Crystal Sweeper for that exact purpose.

[@ThePlanemadness]

+Ace Dynamike Me too! I never had a change to get it but now... MUAHHAHAA!

[@makutamiserix5612]

ThePlanemadness I think it goes for pretty darn high on Ebay.

[@chefbgordon8892]

I could imagine how reliving it would be to put the last piece on

[@badonkawonka7156]

This really grinds my gears

[@AverageYoutubeEnjoyer365]

His Lego movie t shirt is so awesome

[@tosh4461]

I personally have this set and I think they should have a separate motor and battery for the wheel and conveyer belts as it is quer slow and when the batter go abit lower than brand new it doesn't spin I think the gearbox and motors are the blame

[@Jasonwolf1495]

I almost want to buy just the manual. I'll put it on my bookshelf with my dictionaries and it'll fit right in.

[@thatbrickbloke3751]

That's huge!

[@LGP82]

Great video. Great set. I want one :)

[@RDTNNGLopez]

You did your best doing that and i'll drop a like

[@MajDuty]

I wonder what kind of RC motor and LiPo battery we could install on this thing to make it a little more digging powerful. Just so it doesn't stall so easily. Maybe I'll try that

[@Devo57]

Don't text and build

[@simonpennybernard-smith9744]

Yup...THE guaranteed way to foul up :)

[@jezjezignas6720]

I wonder how long this took him! but im sure he did every perfectly :P keep up the work!! ily

[@BoeeStudios]

I Love The Phone That Came With It

[@vegaspapp]

a good tip is to speed the video up to 2x speed if you impatient but want to watch the build

[@reecewhybrow3969]

Thinking of getting this as I love lego

[@cameronanderson87]

the dump truck here is super similar to the one released not so long ago

[@RhaizleCKyle]

i love brick vault and legos

[@RhaizleCKyle]

the fast forward is a little bit like long

[@Sw1tch1690]

So cool!😊

[@perrynnlynch9373]

Great fun and informativereview

[@alllogo]

I built this! It took meh a while but I did it. But, the FREAKING GEARS WONT WORK CORRECTLY *AAARRRRGGGGHHHH*

[@oaktopus4644]

Then you built it wrong

[@alllogo]

I mean they were grinding together.

[@TitanGold]

I remember before I got the set I watched this video and saw that you can disconnect the axle and I used that tip when I played with it, btw I responding 3 years after I got the set, just wanted to say thx

[@thedarkness97]

Undecided on this set, I will have to make space for it. I like the music on this build though..

[@scout7867]

First three unit numbers, 420... YEEEAHH BOII

[@codywright2840]

One of the coolest Technic sets out there. Lego has done it again😎

[@wyattshowalter9722]

I got one for Christmas and it is HUGE

[@danielr235]

It took me 1 day from 7am to 9pm to build had lots of fun

[@mariapuga6712]

Oh my god that Lego set is big

[@thelegoman6832]

That looks so cool I wish I had it

[@reaktorleak89]

I'm just going to say it. The Excavator isn't big enough! Needs more batteries, more motors, more everything! Do it Lego. DO IT.

[@RyeboyDigital]

This is my dream job, just building Lego sets for KZbin

[@tobiasl.haugen5523]

that is a big lego set !!!!!!!

[@bradyhansen50]

I was wondering what type of camera did you use for the time lapse?

[@Soundwave857]

I replaced on every motorized lego-model i own the white dumb gear right in the front of the motor. Do this on the Excavator and you will be able to dig with it in a box of lego.

[@Coolcone101]

Good God, there is no chance that I'd have survived this build - tip of the hat to you

[@TheFirstYouTubeUser]

my dad and I plan to build this set together! We built the Porsche together too

[@tomproctor6963]

Mate the buckets are supposed to dig in to the dirt and the conveyor belt at the back loads the dump trucks

[@sonicgoesfast3973]

This is very cool nice video

[@Dazzgracefulmoon]

wow. that thing's a mechanical monster

[@twotblunder5737]

Im a huge fan of this set and guess what, IM GETTING IT😄

[@jeffmclearen229]

I love how he is texting during the build. LEGO engineer during the day, LADIES man during the night😏

[@tiimo5709]

you should boild a dropper where it goes in a cirle into a cone and goes round and round and round

[@fnafslvlogs6774]

wow this is very cool I might get it MAYBE I wish

[@burnbarnaby]

Lego is like Dark Souls. 1 mistake and you have to do it all over again.

[@ronaldckrausejr7762]

Much smaller version of a Bagger 288. But even Lego has engineering limits and capacities. I built a smaller version of the Bagger out of Legos, yet much larger than the kit featured here. Used almost ten thousand pieces, and it even walked the same way as the Bagger does in real life. As a kit, don't see how my version could have been done for less than five hundred though.

[@8Bit4Kids]

As a real mining haul truck driver I can confirm that you have to get out of your truck and turn a gear to dump your bed.

[@DarkiDarkkiller]

I would love this with a better motor :D

[@carterlane2686]

It would be equally as slow

[@randomthoughtstheories6681]

+Carter Lane no! He means for the digger!

[@Ziplock9000]

It's already using the best motor they have, the XL

[@Mike-mt4ln]

John Michael Stock the mindstorms motors are really good too.

[@armankiarmankii]

If kept with an rc motor and modify the gears to match it with other Lego gears

[@nicholasvoyce5934]

Jack you should build the London Bridge set.

[@Svperiore]

Getting mine in the mail tomorrow I will see if I can find a way to increase torque on the bucket wheel

[@simonpennybernard-smith9744]

Tiny drop of "3 in 1" lubricating oil on the teeth of the inside of the bucket wheel....

[@simonpennybernard-smith9744]

Markus Kosman is a ledgend..designer extraordinare ! MK3. His third flagship design for lego. People seem to be missing the point when it comes to how this thing mines, if you want to see how it's done, look at the designer video for this, in lego's own channel, here on the tube!

[@VunierDJIPhantom3]

just replace the clutch gears with normal gears same size, then it can chomp through piles of lego!

[@brickleyyard4966]

My only issues with this set was the lack of radio control and the lack of power I found that unless u are so careful when putting that together it dont work the set really could have done separately driven tracks as well as separately power rotation as the is to much going on for just one motor would happily have paid more if we got the set + 2 recivers of the v2 type one in the top one in to bottom along with 2 battery boxes so that way the tracks have 2 xl motors for direct drive along with a l motor for rotation of super structure Thats one reciver I would keep it like it is with the tracks and that is that it can only track forward and backwards Then the second battery box and reciver will run on chanles 2 and 3 the bucket wheal would have its own motor as would the track belts As for the tracks and uper structure are on 1 and 4 That would make the set possible 150 to 200 pounds more but it would have been so much more beneficial if it came this way instead

[@coryinthehouse8125]

7:38 nice pun

[@theconcealedcow5686]

OMG I need this set!!!!!!!!

[@harildd]

Im getting this for christmas!

[@sampletext1202]

I don't need it... I don't need it.... I NEED IT!!

[@ThePokemonPro-ni8ul]

you are right

[@crusty.kamikaze]

Can you review those old star wars technic sets

[@jx592]

I could sit here forever and list the alternative sets you could make

[@mnuelopi]

skip to 3:56 if you want to see it becoming the shape it i in

[@123kukulka]

thats a big lego set

[@KastaRules]

*Bagger 288! Bagger 288! Bagger 288!*

[@ronaldckrausejr7762]

I built a shorter version of a Bagger. The model featured here with treads costs just less than thee hundred; my shorter version of the Bagger which "walks" just like the real thing could not be made to cost in kit form less than five hundred

[@pandasalad8915]

This looks like such a cool lego set but i would never even dream of buying it. I mean it would be so expensive and so complex and would take so long to make.
