Lego Technic Tractor Excavator

I bought this new Lego Technic tractor excavator for my birthday. It was worth it. It was quite expansive for a toy but considering the sophistication of the built, I guess it is something to expect. I was told that the toy is actually much cheaper everywhere else except in Malaysia.


Above is the box that it came in. There is close to 1000 pieces and it should only be handled by an adult. The instructions came in 2 separate booklets with more than 60 different (and difficult) steps. After 2 days of sweating it out, the end result can be seen in the following serie of photos.
