Trailer for 3442 California Truck

[KimT]

I bought this truck a while ago - and have later found out that there is an instruction from a 1998 magazine on how to build the trailer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this instruction anywhere. I've tried PICSL and some other places - without luck.

Please help me fellow EB'ers *wub* *wub*

This is the truck - notice the messages underneath

Do, you have any idea of when the magezine was came out (what month)? I may have it.

[KimT]

Nope - no idea what so ever :| I'd be glad if you'd take a look in your archives *wub*

Sure, I'll look ;)

Thanks - has anyone else ever met this "trailer" manual that I'm looking for? Because I'm not entirely sure that it's to be found in a 1998 magazine from LEGO.

The message says that they built a trailer based on a model in a magazine. To me that doesn't necessarily mean that there were instructions...

[KimT]

Well there is. Inside the box there was a note saying that the instructions were in a magazine

[unfortunaly I've lost that note :| ]

I have that set (it didn't come with any note though). I think a similar truck is featured in the 97 idea book with trailor... possibly this is the reference. Though I also remember seeing a trailor in a lego mag...

God Bless,

Now You made me wonder if the "note" is something my memory made up... :| But I'm pretty sure there's an instruction for a trailer in a 1998 magazine.

Lego places notes extremely rarely... they avoid all written languages for international compatibility...

I dont know if any of you use this site anymore considering the last post is from 05, but its worth a shot! I have the completed trailer to the legoland truck set, but have no idea where it came from.

I havent used my legos since like 02 and i'm trying to sell them now, and found this trailer. it has 2 large stickers that say "legoland california" on each side of the trailer, in addition to the 2 smaller ones on the cab of the truck

Any information on value, how i even came to build this, or where i got the 2 large stickers on each side of the trailer would be helpful

Those stickers came with the truck, and the quote 'how i even came to build this' only you answer ?

Moderators don't really like old topics dragged up sometimes and besides, where's the rest of the truck and trailer in the shot ?

'Pat34' found an accurate photo of it. I know its a black and red rectangle mess. I MOCed one that I like much more. I actually may have the instructions to the original. I remember seeing it in a Club Magazine or Shopping one and never through anything Lego away. But Iwill have to check.

EDIT: I have found the Lego Magazine that contained the instructions! I photographed them unfortunately I can't find the d**n USB thing to transfer them to my computer. I should have it found soon though and will post it here. For further reference, it's on page 36 in the 1998 Holiday Issue I.

Alright, I finally found that darn USB thing and uploaded the pics from the magazine. For those interested here is the 1998 Lego 3442 Cali Truck Trailer! Oh small idea, anyone who builds it, could possibly review it and have it indexed?

The Magazine Issue:

Parts Kits:

The Build 1-5

Final Step!

Hope everyone likes! These are also on my Brickshelf account, CitySlicker, search "3442 Trailer" for larger photos

Edit: Just noticed the original date, wish I could have helped back in '05
