sam89 Posted January 5, 2005 That truck is huge! :oD Hopefully we'll get more pics of these sets soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jipay Posted January 5, 2005 It is an old set. I can barely imagine lego releasing it without any modification (the train track is not working with new trains). Anyway, it would be nice to see this train again since it was great set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted January 5, 2005 Is this truck part of the world city line? It looks great none-the-less! :) We are overwhelmed with news at the moment! 2005 is THE year of Lego! Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wolf04 Posted January 5, 2005 Would someone be kind enough to show me the prototype image of the construction set with the stationary crane and small dump truck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSDB Posted January 5, 2005 The truck is massive, like one of those trucks only made for a certain area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vader Posted January 5, 2005 Wolf04 here is the link for the set pics that you asked for. http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...f=5&t=611&st=15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf04 Posted January 5, 2005 Wolf04 here is the link for the set pics that you asked for.http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...f=5&t=611&st=15 Thanks but I asked for the prototype picture shown a while back, the only picture shown on that thread is of the final product.

DoubleT Posted January 5, 2005 Hope its this one you mean :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf04 Posted January 6, 2005 Yes it is. Thank you. I wanted to compare but I was stupid to delete that picture before. I would have preferred the prototype more. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted January 6, 2005 Wow! Looks like a mining truck! http://www.vgms.org/imagebtn/truck.jpg :-D Gotta love this CITY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orlego Posted January 6, 2005 WOW! that big truck is awesome! :oo Now it is time to buy some Dark grey bricks so I can build a mine. I love the 7243 prototype. The new version is cool but I would like to see the prototype make it to the shelf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stuifzand Posted January 6, 2005 Did anyone see this? Found it on the lowlug site, where the Viking pic is from. Looks like a good train. Steve There isn't anyone over here who can read Dutch right? ;) He's talking about that it's 25 years ago that this set is released. Nobody is talking about a rumour that the set is being released as a legend. Though it would be nice of course :-D I thought I'd mention ;) Greetz, Saskia www.lowlug.nl edit: typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monj Posted January 6, 2005 sorry I edited the same message the same time as stuifzand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApophisV Posted January 6, 2005 Hehe, I had my last Dutch lesson 2 years ago.... But: To say my Dutch is very very bad would be way to positive to describe the situation... :$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemon_squeezer2 Posted January 7, 2005 I am going to go against the flow here and say that I do not really like this truck. Now, before you all tar and feather me, let me explain why. Just look at the tipper part. One big, fat, ugly premold. Now, there is really no convienient way around this problem, so I understand why Lego put it there. However, I would really have no use for it. It is a cool *looking* set, but just not a very practical one for the MOC enthusiast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jipay Posted January 7, 2005 Now, before you all tar and feather me, Just to say we never do that here :) I agree with you on the big fat yellow part. But you know, as a model it is great. Now for MOC pieces, it just plainy sucks. I don't see a lot of use fr this truck, even in a town, but I find it so huge :D Im sure I won't resist :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Middleman Posted January 7, 2005 jipay, it's not meant for a town! It seems that we're almost get a MINE construction sub-theme this time, what with the rock grinder set that was recently leaked and now this mine truck! That truck is selectively used for huge mines, nothing else. Guess I'll have to put a mine site outside of town! :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
