How many pieces does set 42028 have?

The Bulldozer contains 617 pieces across 92 unique elements, mainly in black, yellow, light grey and dark grey.

Does the set include any minifigures?

No, set 42028 has no minifigures, since LEGO® Technic sets like this one focus on mechanical function rather than figures.

Can I build a second model from the same pieces?

Technic sets of this size are usually built as two-model kits, so the 617 pieces can typically be rebuilt into an alternative construction vehicle.

Technic

Bulldozer

The Bulldozer, set 42028, is a LEGO® Technic model that captures the classic shape of a construction bulldozer: low cabin, wide blade and a continuous track unit. With 617 pieces across 92 unique elements, it sits in Technic's mid-size bracket, where moving mechanics matter more than brick count. Its yellow, black and grey palette echoes real earthmoving machinery.

Description

Mechanics over minifigures

Unlike many themed LEGO® sets, 42028 has no minifigures at all – the build is entirely about how the model moves. A lever raises and lowers the blade, and the track drivetrain links both sides of the chassis, so building it means working through pins, axles and gears rather than stacking bricks for looks. Anyone who has built other Technic sets will recognise the usual sequence: chassis first, then the cabin, then the attachments. With 617 pieces, the set stays compact enough to finish in one sitting while still delivering genuine mechanical function.

One set, two builds

Technic sets of this size are almost always designed as two-model kits, so the same 617 pieces that make the bulldozer can typically be rebuilt into a second construction vehicle once you take the first one apart. Instructions for that alternate model usually come as a separate booklet or a digital download. That makes the set worth keeping around after the first build rather than shelving it, since there is a second construction project waiting in the same box. The parts list on this page shows exactly what you have to work with for either build.

Colours and part variety

At 92 unique elements, 42028 is not a set with huge part variety – it relies on fewer element types used repeatedly, which is typical for function-driven Technic models. Black and yellow dominate the chassis and bodywork, with light and dark grey used for the cabin and detailing. That narrower palette makes individual pieces – axles, pins, track links – easy to reuse afterwards in other builds or MOCs, since Technic connectors tend to work across many different sets. The exact quantity of each colour is listed further down this page.

Who this set suits

617 pieces and working mechanics make the Bulldozer a good step up for anyone who has outgrown simple click-together sets but is not ready for a Technic model running into the thousands. It also works well as an addition to an existing Technic collection, useful for studying track drivetrains or lever mechanisms in isolation. With no minifigures included, the finished model is built to be examined and operated rather than used in play scenes – a fit for builders who care more about engineering than storytelling.
