The LEGO Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 (42146-1) receives mixed reactions, with excitement over its appearance tempered by concerns about its high price, reliance on Control+ motors instead of a gearbox, and inaccuracies compared to the real machine. Display and storage are also potential issues due to its large size.
