Why is this $700? LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 REVIEW (42146)

Check out an in-depth review and demo of 42146 Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000! Is it worth the whopping $700 you have to fork up to get it?

This review is NOT SPONSORED - the LEGO set featured was purchased independently by me as a LEGO fan.

I work in a toy shop that sells a copy of this crane. Everytime someone asks the price I have to brace myself for their reaction

12:16 Perhaps, since they're support, they chose the gray due to being more resistant.

That's why ball joints only come on light and dark bluish gray, because apparently is the strongest plastic they have.

Still, really nice vid! Really like the transitions, as simply as they are

Damn legos getting expensive. It’s like they know we all grew up and have jobs now.

[LordStarscream]

4:16 I’m surprised they didn’t include tons of rubber studs to attach to the treads. Especially for a set this expensive? I remember when they introduced those for the Ultra Stealth Raider, felt like a game changer.

Show me that crane picking up your titanic! 😂

[Oddball]

I have actually seen this machine on a job site and the sure size of the machine is amazing. But I’m all honesty I do agree that the price point is a bit steep, but at that same time them including that tilt sensor is a very nice touch.

I would have loved to see you hold that crane whilst walking backwards through your collection :)

[BrentsBricks]

Interesting to see this set in action!

[moderngentlemanschool]

I have this lego and honestly was super happy to pay for it. So much fun to build and it's just beautiful (and huge). I read that around $200 of the cost comes from the counterweights in fact.

[MusicForMyDemons]

Ah yes, I would love to pay 700€ for this weird tank that looks nothing like any real Liebherr Crane

[alostbaron]

The grey is likely because of piece strength. It seems those pillars have a lot of weight on them and yellow may have been relatively brittle. For example, brown is known to shatter a lot.

[mathra]

Honestly, I don’t care a whit about this set. What I found to be the most compelling thing about this review were the Braille bricks in the background. I imagine I’ll be primarily thinking about that every review you post for the next six months.

The larger D11 bulldozer did some fancy gear work to all run off of one hub, I'd have much preferred to see that here instead of needing two hubs.

[Alex-cpdu]

i work in construction, albeit the office / financial side of construction, and im getting this to put it on my shelf at work. it looks sweet.

[MasonsTurtle]

Yeah I get worried about the an App’s longevity. It’s doubtful they will continue to support these sets 20 years from now so passing these down to younger generations become less and less special.

[justinthorsson]

great review im sort of sitting on the shelf for this one only because its not accurate to the real thing as the real one has a longer boom and doesnt have those grey bits, Do you know if you can get the parts to make it more accurate?

[MicahPotts]

i own this model and have thrown a few reviews of it on my channel too. It is definitely an EXPENSIVE piece of kit. But it is SO unique and with SO many playable features, I do think it could possibly actually be worth the price. Especially since Lego tends to hold their value quite well and usually appreciate more than anything else. Unless you want to wait and see if it goes on sale in a few months, If this model intrigues you and you have the money. I say GET IT. You will like it. Cheers! :D

Ever heard of Mould King 17015? 4300 parts, 6 motors, 6 chanel hub, physical controller, USB charging for controller and hub, and its double the high of the lego set. And it only cost 185-200€ here in europe on amazon.

[RetroActionUK]

It’s an incredible Technic set, a bit expensive but not comparable to the UCS Millennium Falcon for sure. The grey does break up the aesthetic though but it could well be that’s the strongest colour for plastic as others here have pointed out that is the case with ball joints.

[MitchellKibbe]

Ive been eyeballing this set for a while now and bought this set this weekend for $482 after my Amazon employee discount. It came in yesterday and I haven’t even started it yet but I feel satisfied with what I paid for it and what I’m expecting to get
