Stop what you're doing. That's right, stop it, especially that. Stop what you're doing and go and buy the Lego Technic Unimog U400. It's only the biggest Technic model of all time...

The 1:12 scale model measures 38.6cm from bumper to bumper when fully built, using 2,048 pieces and actually works. Like, really works.

It's got a pneumatically operated crane with a working gripper arm, a front winch, optional snowplough, full suspension, differentials, a four-wheel-drive chassis, gear block for extreme ground clearance and a working engine complete with moving pistons.

It'll cost you £154.99 (around $200US), available exclusively from Argos and Lego stores. Go and get one. But before you rush out, answer us this: the Unimog is 60 this year and has sold over 380,000 models to date across the globe - how would you celebrate its anniversary?

Wow that's cool! I remember when technic legos came out. They had electric ones, pneumatic ones, ect.

I think my mom bought every one of em for me and kept the boxes cause once I finished building them I was bored so she would box em up, return them, and get a difderent one. Don't see lego sets like u used to anymore tho

This one would take the cake though... nice.
