CONTROL + gives us the opportunity to create even more versatile gaming experiences around the physical model. We are delighted to have Liebherr as a partner in one of the first sets to incorporate this novelty,” PromoBricks reports Niels Henrik Horsted, Marketing Director, as saying.

“The fact that the

Group is offering our Liebherr R 9800 as a construction kit confirms our motto ‘technology that inspires’ on a small scale. The detail and functionality that the model shows are fantastic.
