Watch it build itself

Every set tells its story brick by brick. Scroll gently and watch this one rise: no glue, no rush, just pieces finding their place.

  3. The little details arrive, one by one.
  4. And there it is: the dream, complete.
About this set

A wheeled excavator built with real pneumatics, where a puff of air swings the boom, curls the bucket, and does the heavy work no gear could fake. Its 1,166 pieces recreate the Volvo EW160E down to the outriggers and the working steering, a proper machine for a proper afternoon. Build it, pump the pistons, and dig into a pile that is not really there.
