LukefromNJ Posted March 21, 2014 Here's my review for Lego set 60060, Auto Transporter: Contents of set are 3 bags, 3 manuals, and 1 (very small) sticker sheet: Bag 1 makes the 2 cars being transported, as well as the 2 minifigs and their accessories: I really like the 2 cars, I think they're quite stylish (especially the red and black one). The driver's a fairly generic truck driver figure (the mirrored shades are a nice touch, however) while the car dealer seems to be going for the "sleazy car salesman" look (or alternately is a huge fan of Gordon Gekko from "Wall Street"). The clipboard is made from attaching a sticker from the sticker sheet to a 2x2 SNOT brick piece. The 2 figures close-up. Would YOU buy a car from this man? Bag 2 makes the truck, minus the upper level: In bag 3 are the pieces for the trailer as well as the upper part of the truck. One thing I really liked was the use of the ladder pieces in gray to make the "tracks" for the cars to drive onto: The upper levels of the truck and trailer lower for loading like so (note the yellow hook to secure cars on the upper levels): In order to load the top level, the bottom level must be empty: With the top level loaded, you can now drive a car onto the lower level: The set only comes with 2 cars, so if you want to load it fully you must use extra cars: Overview of what you get in a set, truck and trailer, 2 cars, 2 minifigs, clipboard and briefcase: In my opinion, this is a great set. i really like the look of the truck and LOVE the way the upper level raise and lower. The 2 minifigs are perfect for the set (although perhaps a "buyer" minifig [or minifigs] could have been included as well?) As far as having only 2 cars goes, while part of me wishes that they had included all 4 cars for the truck, it may have either raised the price too high or been too repetitive to build 4 of the same car in one kit (and this kit already has plenty of repetition as it is). My score? 9/10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 22, 2014 Nice set and realistic mechanism! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted March 22, 2014 This is an OK set. I would like to know why the tires on the cars are the same size as the ones on the truck. Shouldn't the cars' tires be smaller? It's an easy mod at any rate. Thanks for doing this review, although nine out of ten is a bit too generous, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCanilho Posted March 22, 2014 I remember in the first pics of the set the tires where diferent, but them on the official ones the tires became this ones. Easy MOD, maybe a good result with the tires of the racing car, 60953. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an easy mod at any rate. Pretty much all of the tires on the cars and trucks I have are the same size, so it doesn't bother me that they're the same size in this set.

Toby Adams Posted March 22, 2014 IMO this set is just lacking, but I love it so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LukefromNJ Posted March 22, 2014 IMO this set is just lacking, but I love it so much! That's pretty much how I feel about this set as well; I feel that the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfbat Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I got this set a little over a week ago and though I think it is value for money and has great play features, it was one of those sets I immediately felt the need to mod. The back of the cain just didn't look right to me and the space behind the cabin is "empty". So I changed that and filled it up a bit. I also added some lighting to the back. This is one of the few sets where I had a feeling that I could see where cost-cutting decisions were made. No critisism, because that leaves plenty of room to mod it and keeps the price down a bit, but still. Edited March 23, 2014 by jfbat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimH Posted March 23, 2014 Nice review. I'm on the fence about purchasing the set though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
