Alright, this is long overdue. I have seen a regular review of this set, but it's pictures are not able to be seen. I hope you like it!* (just A model build, i didn't like the B model) Stats: ** Set name and number: 8069 Backhoe Loader Release: 2011 Number of Pieces: 609 Recommended Age: 10-16 Amount of Models: 2 (instructions on the Lego website for the second model) Lego.com Price: 59,99EUR / 59,99USD / 49,99GBP Price at cheaper stores: ~45EUR To start the review, I want to say think very highly of this set. The building experience itself was great, but the mechanisms are beautifully engineered. However, no review is complete without pictures: Highlighted parts: 4 Linear Actuators, 4 huge tires, and a massive bucket set the tone for the set, along with a 5x7 frame, and a smaller bucket add to this set well. Random page: Starting the build: parts container*** Steering: deplorable angle. Bucket tilt / steering, one of the smartest things on the set, along with the rear section. it has three different axles running through at the same time, bucket tilt, lift, and steering. Steering HOG / rear controls, the other smart thing i saw in this build, and uses little space. It looks super short, until the end of building. Close up: Front taking shape: I love how the little system parts add so much, and used sparsely. Rear attachment: slightly modified. The rear arm: great mechanism, auto curls the bucket. Finished model: ain't she a beauty! one of the best models i own! Verdict: Design: 9/10 Steering angle is bad, i easily modified it with 4 half bushes (one each hub), and the backlash in worm gears is horrible. Styling: 10/10 Love it! the system parts, and very little color vomit (black pins would be icing on the cake). Parts: 10/10 Great starter pack, with the 4 linear actuators, huge bucket, and tires. Playability: 8/10 While it's functions are great, the rear arm is hard to easily move, with the worm gear on the side, and knobs on top. Building experience: 9/10 The only thing i hate is the mirror steps, otherwise 10/10! Overall: 46/50 Not much to complain about, it is nearly perfect! https://bricksafe.com/pages/aventador2014/review-8069 *I Bought this used, with 3 bags missing. it has 6 pin wheel, Yellow axles, and new kind 99773's instead of 2905's. **Copied from an original page. *** Original box has severe damage, so no picture.
