Anio Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Overall: X My score: X Good point. Rating a model with an average of the several rates just doesn't make sense. When you rate the model, you have to take a look at the whole model, to value it, and say, "overall, I think it deserves X / 10". I guess some of you read video game tests or stuff like that. In such a test, you will never read that the final rate is an average of all the other rates. Edited January 25, 2013 by Anio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsyKater Posted January 25, 2013 Did I already say that these are not available in Germany yet (today)? No? They aren't! Sorry, I am just frustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marin Stipković Posted January 26, 2013 Very nice review, Rufus. I'd just like to refer to this part: ... and the strange 1950s-throwback recovery truck : I don't think it was a joke so I must say - that type of a recovery truck is quite common in certain parts of the world: Perhaps this one has the nose more like the LEGO set: And there's also an interesting chassis on some of them too (no, this isn't a malfunction): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frunny Posted January 30, 2013 Did I already say that these are not available in Germany yet (today)? No? They aren't! Sorry, I am just frustrated. It will be available in March, together with the Cement Mixer (60018) and Flatbed Truck (60017). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsyKater Posted January 30, 2013 It will be available in March, together with the Cement Mixer (60018) and Flatbed Truck (60017). Yes, I know. Still hoped it would be released earlier. I thought that it was March release worldwide, so I was pretty surprised to see it everywhere in the shop but in Germany. We have to live with that, I guess.

You could order it at Bricklink f.e. - there are some from other EU countries who are selling it already as new and sealed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RXBandit Posted February 10, 2013 great review, as always. i'm curious why you call one of the other models a "1950s throwback recovery truck". do they not have flatbed wreckers in Europe or am i missing something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Esurient Posted February 10, 2013 Great review, very informative and great pictures! I got this set as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summicron Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the great review. I've never got myself a box of Lego toy since my aunt bought me one, more than 2 decades ago. I thought the Lego love in me has passed but I was wrong. And this Octan tanker will probably be my first set of Lego in a long long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
