Upon unpacking, I immediately realized that there are only eight building stages, with most stages involving many parts. The inner packaging hides no surprises: a regular white box holds about half of all plastic bags with pieces. I wish I could focus on the model instead, but you don’t see LEGO having troubles with the packaging design every day. For instance, a callout with a close-up shot of “D11” marking is gone, not to confuse the customers anymore. Somehow, the image of the box’s back listed on the product’s page reveals quite a different design. More bizarre inconsistencies can be found on the back of the box. I wonder if any of the customers will ever notice whether they are assembling D11 or D11T. Still, the official store lists the set as Cat D11. For some weird reason, the model indicated on the front is D11T, not just D11. The new Cat D11 comes in a box that is the same size as the box for the 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator, but unlike the excavator, the bulldozer got the new elegant black box targeted at adults.

Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with a copy of this set for review. Is the set worth upgrading from the reigning king 42100 Liebherr R 9800 Excavator? Let’s build and play with one and see what it has to offer. This fall it’s all about the new LEGO Technic 42131 Cat D11 Bulldozer: 3,854 pieces, four motors, a bunch of new pieces, and a price tag of US $449.99 | CAN $549.99 | UK £419.99. Like the latest ridiculously expensive smartphones, LEGO Technic flagship sets make you consider one question: is it worth upgrading? Same prices, same play features, and, maybe, a couple of new tricks to show off.
