large technic set.

the only LEGO set that come with a barcode reader controller.

the controller can make engine sound or melody sound.

included a touch sensor and a 9V mini motor.

the first model is a dump truck with a front hand.

the hand can grab a thing if its touch sensor touched something.

then the hand will be raised to the rear of the truck to put the thing into the container.
with a switch operating the mini motor, the container can be tilted for dumping its loading.

front wheels can be steered by a gear on top of the truck.

included instruction for other 2 alternatives models.

great playability.

overall design is great.

must have for technic lovers.
