Give kids an introduction to the world of engineering with the LEGO Technic Heavy-duty Tow Truck (42128)! This toy model is packed with details and pays tribute to the world’s favorite tow trucks, with its realistic grille, air filters, lights, exhaust pipe, and vibrant colors. Its pneumatic and mechanical functions are amazingly accurate and lifelike. Open the hood to reveal a 6-cylinder inline engine with moving pistons, and steer with the pin on the roof. Activate the crane, lift the boom and winch, and extend the outriggers. Plus, for the first time in LEGO Technic history, the tow truck has a lifting axle and deployable wheels to spread the weight of heavy loads. Measuring over 8.5 in. (22 cm) high (with crane down), 23 in. (58 cm) long (with boom down), and 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide (with outriggers up), this 2017-piece set is a great way to introduce engineering principles to kids.
