I really like this set. Very nice to build. Not always easy, but very doable in the end. And she came to life with the very first tests I did, so that was a nice moment. I only had to fix one small mistake, which caused the boom to become shorter when I said it to become longer and vice versa. I’m just starting my Lego hobby (my entire experience when starting this build was building the 42080) but this was an absolute nice challenge, but absolutely doable for beginners. You won’t be finished in the 12-14 hours mentioned in other reviews, but for me thats not a goal :). Some piece of advise though: really follow all the instructions in the manuals. If the wheels are straight in the manual, make sure you have them straight in your build too. I have made small mistakes during the build which I noticed quickly, otherwise my build would have had trouble with turning the wheels and extending the outriggers. Another tip is to test regularly during your build. Check if the gears are turning smoothly, and if they make contact with each other. When you have finished a module, check if the entire module works, also in combination with other modules.
If you follow these tips you will get a great set which is worth your money, also when you are a beginner.
