Let’s be honest, gentlemen, secretly we all still want to play with diggers. But society (and possibly our significant others) frowns upon grown men operating actual heavy machinery in the garden. Fear not, for the LEGO® Technic™ Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator has arrived, allowing you to dominate the construction site from the comfort of your living room! For a mere $429.99, you’re not just getting 2,359 pieces of plastic; you’re getting a fully motorised, gearbox-wielding beast. Forget endless scrolling on your phone; here, you’ll be manipulating a boom, arm, and even interchangeable hammer and shovel tools with satisfying precision.

It’s like therapy, but with more gears and less existential dread. This isn’t your nephew’s LEGO set. This is an “advanced building project” designed for adults who appreciate intricate engineering (or just really love big yellow machines). And don’t worry, the instructions are included, both physically and digitally on the LEGO Builder app – because even master builders occasionally need a hint. Just remember to stock up on 6x AA batteries; the power for your construction empire isn’t included. Go on, unleash your inner child, one incredibly detailed, motorised brick at a time.
