LEGO DUPLO Thomas & Friends - Cargo-Loading Cranky Review

LEGO DUPLO Thomas and Friends - Cargo-Loading Cranky
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have found that Lego Cranky is a nice addition to our Island of Sodor. Besides having the advantage of being much cheaper than many of the other Crankies, he works with the rest of the Lego Steamies, and the other Thomas rail lines, as well.
Pros:
--is a more complicated assemblage than some of the other Lego Thomas and Friends additions and so fills that need for a challenge
--he's big and fun
--the kit comes with cargo and those all-so-useful troublesome trucks
--this Cranky has a nice pulley system (string with a hook). The hook has an end-piece which fits a standard Duplo block and the cargo included in the kit
--Cranky also rotates. It has a super large rotating block unit
Cons:
--Cranky has a more complicated assemblage that might be too challenging for the very young
--it is sometimes difficult to align the 'nubs' on the rotating unit to fit correctly
Five Stars. Lego Cranky is just a lot of fun. The kit comes with a few pieces of track, Cranky, cargo, two troublesome trucks and more. The pieces work with the standard Duplo Lego blocks so there is lots of opportunity to build. Very affordable which you will know if you have checked out the other big Crankies.

Don't be fooled by the name. Cranky is all smiles at the dock as he loads the Troublesome Trucks. And why wouldn't he be' He gets the job done quickly and barely breaks a sweat, thanks to his big, strong hook. See how fast you can get him to load the trucks. Set includes two tracks, a troublesome truck and two pieces of cargo. Cranky moves from side to side and the pulley moves up and down. Contains 34 pieces.

My son received this 2 years ago for his 3rd birthday. His aunt gave it to him, as it was the first thing he asked for when she asked what he wanted for his birthday. My son loves playing with Cranky and he is fun to play with as long as you have several other Thomas trains that have cargo. The more the better!
As for Cranky losing his head...his head is meant to fall off and then can be fitted easily back on (break-away). It is not as big a deal as the last reviewer made it. It definitely didn't stop us from keeping him.
As for the 4 star rating...I think it is a little pricey for what you get.
Two years later and Cranky is still crankin' it out at Sodor Island at our house. I would recommend it for any Thomas fan!

Like all cranes, Cranky has a high and mighty attitude which often annoys the engines. Cranky knows that if he ever gets too big for his crane hook, the engines have ways of getting back at him. However, Cranky enjoys teasing them because, he says, it makes for good working relationships...but don't ask Percy if he agrees! One crank turns Cranky's head left and right, while a second crank lifts any available magnetic cargo. Cargo included. Measures 10.5" high.
