I think this truck would look a lot better with a shorter bed or maybe just a shorter wheel base. Easy mods.

No-no-no, then we would get less panels! Lets be honest, this set will be bought for parts mostly, so nice amount of panels in red (5x11 and 3x11) is good

any ideas on a price :)

This is a strange one, I wonder where Lego got the inspiration for this truck?, I have a idea for it though.

Dodge power wagon!?

[Paul B Technic]

I am not a fan of this at all :(

[Dans lego]

quite simply in my honest opinion, lego is meant to be moddified and added to.. I personally already have a few mods I'd like to do with this set

If it's perfect to begin with, where's the fun in MODing it?

[aol000xw]

You are wrongly assuming that MODing is necessarily improving

Anyways I like this as a parts set.

[N-4K0]

Do we not MOD for the purpose of improving?

i like it.

[Blakbird]

I like the suspension arms and the red panels! I reserve judgment on the rest of the set until I get more information.

[Dooftastic]

This is a definite buy for me. It has a ton of personality that most technic sets lack.

[Bricktrain]

Hopefully it is still available on !st August, all the new releases have disapeared from S@H for NZ

[AndroTech]

I like it, .... like it a lot ....

[Eigenbroetler]

I KNOW that people going to hate me for this, but i think this one looks better and is more interesting than the 8070.

I agree, but then, I'm not a fan of the kind of car(s) 8070 is made after.

I liked the model before reviewing it. But the intensive use of U joints instead of regular gears in the mechanisms is pretty lame.

IMO, U joints everywhere is typically the thing we see in poorly designed models... :-/

"Those 2 Technic axles don't match ? I will use U joints !" -_________-

When the model is carefully engineered, the axles match. Next.

For some reason this truck reminds me of Trevor's truck from GTA 5...

[zux]

Still a good set for parts.
