[Review] 42061 Telehandler

[Alasdair Ryan]

I have not done a review in ages so I thought I would do my take on a review of a technic set (some of you may remember some of my past reviews) from one of many unopened sets I have laying around.

Name: 42061 Telehandler
Theme: LEGO Technic
Year: 2017
Parts: 260
Price for set: £24.99 / $39.99 / 29.99€

The  Packaging

Not much to say here.....its a small box made from cardboard with a picture printed on it,all be it a glossy picture.

The  Manual

In the left hand is a 7 long light brush grey axle while in the right is a 8 long axle,who needs diagrams?

The  Parts

Upon opening the box I was relieved to find it was not empty and it contained something.....two instruction manuals.

Here are some interesting parts,I really like the new worm gear.I am however not a fan of the colour vomit.

Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday to you Lego Technic happy birthday to you.

The  Build

Right lets get building......as always I like to sort my parts. 

 I did not capture much in terms of building it is as you would expect for a small set.

Construing the boom

Here we are at step page 25....not much to say really.

The  Finished Model And Final thoughts

Here is a picture of it finished driving past ,that is why the picture is a bit blurry as it was travelling a a good speed.

I don't like how they did the rear upper part of the boom.

Is it just me or are Lego's take on seats getting more weird?

So the functions in this set include:

• 4 wheel steering
• 1 stage telescopic boom
• Boom lifting
• Boom tilting

I am sure you would like too see a size comparison,and if it can lift anything?

Spare parts and parts list

 

So too wrap up my review I would say it is a good little set,it come with some rather useful parts. All the functions work well an has a decent level of playability too it.

I am disappointed by the rear of the boom but apart from that it is a good little set.

Scores:

• Parts 7/10
• Playability 7/10
• Design 5/10
• Appearance 8/10

Good review, but see a few mistakes: the manual is spelled wrong, the All is not spaced, and a huge space is empty. I also think the pictures could be better, but I see it is night, so not much can be done.

Excellent review! I thought playability could be a 8/10 because it is a small model with a lot of functions. I do think the set is a but overpriced though ($40, really?).
