LEGO City Yellow Backhoe Loader 60480

Time to break ground! This 301-piece LEGO City backhoe loader is a minifigure-scale construction vehicle with the working features young builders want.

The backhoe arm sits on a ball joint, so it scoops and swings smoothly. The front bucket raises and tips, and the stabilizer legs fold down to hold the machine steady while it works. Chunky rubber tires, a removable canopy for seating a minifigure in the cab, and an engine bay that opens add realism. The finished model is just over 4 in. (about 10 cm) long.

The jobsite comes with 3 boulders, rubble pieces, a construction sign, a shovel and a pickax, plus a portable toilet with interior details. Smash open a boulder with the backhoe to uncover a hidden toy gem, then build your own construction stories with the 2 worker minifigures. It works with other LEGO City sets (sold separately), so you can grow the jobsite. The LEGO Builder app offers 3D, zoomable digital instructions with progress tracking.
