What reviewers are saying

"Yet another crane. And indeed it feels like cranes return nearly every year in Technic form. Does this set offer anything new?"

Rebrickable Reviews

"the color scheme for this is directly directly inspired by and based upon the mobile crane set that they did back in 1989 which is a very nice throwback but the designer did not just attach themselves to that old design …"

Ecosystem

42082-1 - Rough Terrain Crane — 42108-1 is less complex and suited for different audiences; not a fair direct comparison due to 42082-1's 4056 parts vs 42108-1's 1292 parts.

42009-1 - Mobile Crane MK II — 42108-1 is smaller and simpler (1292 parts vs 2607 parts); reviewer notes the MK II holds special personal significance as introduction to Rebrickable.

8053-1 - Mobile Crane (2010) — Closest comparable by part count from Technic history, but reviewer does not own it for detailed comparison.

42100-1 - Liebherr — More complex than 42108-1; 42108-1 described as more straightforward and simpler to build.
