The Excavator and Truck costs $49.99 and comes with 311 pieces which makes it about 16 cents per piece which is far too much. It only comes with 2 construction worker minifigures which, to me, isn't enough. The accessories included are a shovel, a broom, rubble, a jackhammer, a crate and 2 sticks of dynamite. There are 3 main builds to this set; an excavator, a conveyor belt and a truck. The excavator measures 15X6X16cm and drives on thick tyres. There is space for one minifigure in the cabin where there's also some levers. The excavator has a jointed arm and a grabber that allows you to pick things up. It has some nice details and shapes. The conveyor belt measures 13X6X8cm and has a simple design. The idea is that you use the excavator to pick up some rubble and drop it onto the conveyor. Then, by turning the wheel, the conveyor belt lifts the rubble into the back of the truck which measures 17X5X9cm. It has a nice blue colour scheme and space for a minifigure on the cab. There is some nice light and grill detail and it has an open back for the rubble to fall into. The back can also tip up to deposit the load. Overall, I think this is a pretty good set but has a couple of downfalls. It has nice details and a fair amount of play features. The vehicles look good and the build is solid. However, I think this is a bit overpriced and would be better at $35 and it would be nice to get another minifigure. It would be a strong set if it weren't for the price tag.
