None of them were particularly onerous to site and they do add to the look, especially on the truck cab. So expect lots of sorting before you can start.Įven worse there are a LOT of stickers in this kit. Although the kit comes with numbered bags it is just portioned up in to 3 sections - the car, the main truck and then the trailer. Some new techniques were used in this build and made it hold my interest despite the huge amount of pieces you are dealing with.
From what little I know of Car Transporters (which you could write on the back of a postage stamp and have room left over) the functionality seems to be accurate. Yes it easily takes the weight of these larger builds and they do fit properly although they do not lock in place.Įverything on this unit works and you can line the ramps up to get vehicles on and off both the trailer and the main truck. Well on the bottom deck I have the blue car and the ZR1 and on the top deck it houses the London Bus (10258) and the VW Camper Van (10220). The size of the included car should have been a clue I know but the finished size meant I had to find a new location for it as no way would it fit in the space I had earmarked for it. So, I decided I was going to purchase this kit to use as a display option as well as being a model in its own right.įirst thing first this thing is HUGE when built. Would be better value if came with a 3rd mini figure.I was on the fence about this build and then I checked the vehicle dimensions of the blue car that comes with the set and it matched the Corvette ZR1 (42093).
If you can afford them all, then its worth the purchase. You can connect the lift ring to about any Lego product so you need a few other sets to have better things to lift/haul.Ĭonclusion, I would purchase the high speed chase or the new Camper sets over this one for the kids. Last, lifting and flying/hauling the gas can around is only so much fun. It is bigger then the Airport Starter set one (yellow). Lot more fun to pretend to fly with the larger one. You can also put multiple mini figs in the larger helicopter and it has a winch (only one mini fig fits in this one). Second, the helicopter is ok sized, but the high speed chase one is much bigger. First, this truck is the same size as a pickup of two alternate sets. Play/fun not as good as some other current sets in this price range.Īdded a few pictures to help. Sure someone requested a black truck a few years back, getting a lot of them now. Pickups from other sets are as big as this Semi.Ĭolor scheme not the best. Kids like the box/crate you get with the truck Good play value, fun picking up stuff with the chain/hook of the helicopter. Good build, glad you build the trailer and its not just one large piece Have been debating about getting this set since its release, 6 months later purchased.
