Yes, I agree. The set doesn't look too realistic, but it surely has a
lot of playability! I've made a similar vehicle once, a trailer with
raisable supporting feet and a truck with a locking mechanism, and it's
really fun to play with. Instructions for 8872 are provided on the KL
site, so you may very well go ahead and build the thing, if you want to.

They are _that_ big? Wow. Well, then, a standard technic approach
would be fine, I can see that now.
