I love seeing things like this pop up not long after the release of sets like 42100 . Awesome to see how far Lego has come while sticking to their core play values.

Solid tyres and a beautiful yellow bucket.

@Isabella and Lego Liker - Daylight savings ends the first Sunday in November now. That was changed about 12 years ago.

I remember wanting to build this set with my own Technic parts so ordered instructions and bucket from Lego. I didn’t mind it was all kinds of colors.
