The Claw Digger set is really awesome and attractive. It comes with some cool new wheels (the wheels were released in 2009), a shovel which does sviwel. The roll cage opens nicely, and you can see a chair with 2 joysticks. Behind the roll cage you can find a pickaxe and 2 nice headlights. On the left and on the right you can see a claw which you can move up and down. When I've seen the first pictures before it came out, I thought that the claws would move up and down if you move this vehicle around, but they don't. On the back you can find a stick of dynamite and a chainsaw. The best thing about this vehicle is probably the design of the engine. This set is really fun to build!
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
I bought this product myself. Nothing has been sponsored by the LEGO® group or by third parties.
