You have added nothing to this thread by shelling other users - in your first post here in two years, by the way, which is bad form. If you like this 🐕, then great. Good for you! But don't invalidate or insult other users simply because you don't agree with their opinions.

No, we're expressing our opinions, which we are free to do. If you can't deal with that, then maybe a public forum isn't the place for you.

Funnily enough, as the standout in that list, the LR 13000 is also the only machine of the three not primarily designed for mining. It's designed for constructing power plants, refineries, and offshore platforms.

@R0Sch, seriously - issue a warning before posting such epic cranage!

It fluctuates from source to source. Nothing seems to be certain on that front right now.

The cab is on the wrong side. Still, that'd pale in comparison to the overabundance of inaccuracies in the actual model.

This set would have worked better as an 8288-sized model. The boom proportions and track shaping would have been much easier to achieve at that scale. Plus 8288 is waaaaaaaaaay overdue for a redo.

Bigger isn't always better, TLG...

I should've been more specific. I meant industrial/construction equipment. And yes, the Liebherr is included in that.

I'm disturbed by the fact that, excepting the polybag, there have only been two heavy equipment-related retail sets this year. And that's counting the tiny dump truck.

Can't argue with that. Oh, and this 🐕 has been officially revealed on Brickset as well.

Indeed. Remember not to quote images!

The proportions on this 🐕 could not be more off.

Chibi Liebherr.

How in the everloving shit did TLG manage to screw up steering on a set this simple? That's gotta be a record!

Another loader, I'd say. We've had several repeated subjects in the Volvo range, mainly loaders.

Those tyres had better be in the next Volvo set or there'll be trouble, TLG!

I think he's referring to his review as being "legendary". No, wait, I'm sorry, LEGENDARY!

Hot off the Youtube equivalent of the presses.

It's easier to insert axles into the newer connector as well.

I think I read somewhere (could even have been on this thread) that this 🐕 might have been pushed back to an October release. Not sure on that though.

Yeah, digital instructions suck, especially for smaller models where a manual could easily be included.

The unprotected sticker sheet seems to offer a pretty good explanation for the low price.
