Technic Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck Toy, Buildable Kids Truck for Pretend Play, Great Gift for Boys, Girls and Kids Ages 8 and Up who Love Recycling Toys and Vehicles, 42167

We’re a Lego family, so we always give Lego gifts for all the kids’ birthday parties we attend. This is my go-to Lego set for boys age 7-10 who already love Legos. It’s a technic set, so it’s both harder to build (requires lining pieces up and aligning them exactly right) and more interesting (has a motor and motion that actually works). So it’s not a great fit for newbies, but if you get invited to Lego theme birthday parties, it’s a cool but unusual enough choice that the birthday kid doesn’t usually have one yet. Also, all kids love garbage trucks and this one has fun playability for car and truck kids as well. It’s usually a smash hit!

This LEGO Technic Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck (42167) is a total hit with my 9-year-old who’s obsessed with trucks! The 177-piece build took about an hour and was challenging enough to keep them engaged without frustration—love the realistic details like the electric motor, hydraulic lift, and that cool gripper arm that grabs the bins for "recycling" play. Once assembled, it’s super sturdy and rolls smoothly, sparking endless pretend scenarios where my kid "collects" toys as garbage—great for teaching about eco-stuff too. At $49.99, it’s an incredible value for the functions and play potential, and it’s durable enough for rough kid handling. Only minor gripe? The instructions could use a bit more color coding for the gears, but that’s nitpicking. Perfect gift for 8+ kids who love vehicles—highly recommend for some quality father-son build time!

This set is fun to build and easy. Its really cool that it picks up the garbage can and is just like a real garbage truck. It is in scale with the Speed Champions sets also from what i can tell. I would buy this again if i needed a gift. Totally a nostalgic purchase since i always wanted something like this as a kid.

Really one of the best lego investments when it comes to money : time occupied. My 8yr old has been building it for about 4 hrs off and on (my fault because I told him I'd handle the sticker placement, yes I'm a perfectionist, I collect legos myself and crooked sticker placement gives me the heeby jeebies). So sometimes he had to wait on me to put stickers on. Other than that it's kept him fully occupied. Should also add that he has very pronounced adhd and for him to sit with something and focus for this long is not a frequent occurrence. I think I helped out twice to correct something that was placed incorrectly and got him stuck, but generally speaking I would say this is definitely appropriately labeled as for 8yr olds. He really enjoyed it. What I also love about this set specifically and why I ended up choosing this above other technic sets is the moving parts. It's more interactive, so more likely to receive some play time after being built. Really neat set, great price, kid (8 yrs) approved. Would 100% recommend.

Awesome set. Recommend to anyone. It has cool play capabilities and awesome gear mechanics and functions.

This was a simple, yet fun build. Not too many stickers to put on and like most technic set it has some function. I would recommend this set beginning builders.

Super fun build! The pay function is a bit rough though, the rubber band that is used to lift the garbage cans up requires a CONSIDERABLE amount of force with such a tiny grip on the thing, I imagine kids struggle to play with the feature unless you happen to have a more loose rubber band to use in place of the one that comes with the kit. Aside from that, loved it!!!

This was awesome 👏
