"With a BrickScore of 83.4 and overwhelmingly positive owner reviews, the Mack Anthem is one of the most beloved large Technic trucks — a detailed, feature-packed 2-in-1 set that delivers exceptional build satisfaction and display-worthy realism."
The LEGO Technic Mack Anthem (42078) earns near-unanimous enthusiasm from reviewers, praised as a detailed, visually impressive Technic truck that's both a satisfying build and a strong display piece. The 2-in-1 nature — offering the Mack Anthem tractor-trailer and an alternate Mack LR garbage truck — is seen as a standout value proposition. Minor durability and mechanism niggles are the only consistent complaints in an otherwise glowing reception.
Where they split: The only real split is on the engine design: some reviewers were initially disappointed by the non-traditional cylinder construction (no dedicated piston pieces), while others came around to appreciating its clever use of space and satisfying click sound. The alternate garbage truck model also divided opinion — enthusiasts who sought it out loved it, while some felt it was clearly a secondary priority in the set's design.
