Review of 60027: Monster Truck Transporter Details: Series: City / Great Vehicles Release year: 2013 Quantity of bricks: 299pcs Quantity of minifigures: 3 (monster truck driver; truck driver; mechanic) Quantity of bags with bricks: 4 bags Brick list: BrickLink Price: ~25Euro (promotion in local shop) Brickset BrickLink There was a promotion, a former desire, I had the money, so I bought. I choose 60027 because I did not see it coming in catalogues and announcements in 2014. Was it a potential candidate to expire in 2014 ? To not puzzling and do not overpay for a few months, I made the purchase. Willingly took to build, because: large model, a lot of blocks, a lot of minifigs, interesting design, my first truck with a long front and this my favorite series. Historically, there was/is a lot of transporters with a long trailer. Most transported vehicles -> helicopters, excavator, but there is one set of which is my number # 1: 7747 Wind Turbine Transport, which was not carrying any other vehicle. Probably not able to replace my all, so I immediately turn to the facts and photojournalism from the construction. Box: I think the best selected basis of the number of blocks in relation to the size of the package. Neither too small nor too large. These 35cm for nearly 20 pouches ideally located 4 bags with blocks. FRONT & REAR TOP & BOTTOM RIGHT & LEFT Instruction: Two books, which first describes step-by-step installation of the monster truck. The second shows installation of a truck. Traditional instruction. There's nothing extraordinary. Bags As previously mentioned 4, but more importantly was my surprise when in addition to labels, long plate'a wide on 2 studs and plates to the ramp dropped out. Nothing more. Where’s long trailer ? Minifigures: Three men (from left): monster truck driver, mechanic and truck driver. Their strengths are nice costumes, detailed print with a provocative inscription AIR BORNE (can be read as an AIR BORN or AIR BONE). If I had a chance I’d like to do smiling mechanic, not such a ... Polish employer – always dissatisfied ;-). Truck driver is a twin brother of the guy from 60018 mechanic has a new headsets. Headphones are a little underdeveloped, but I assume that this is the 1st edition, and probably time will fix shape and will not need to have large ears to fit ;-) Interesing bricks: 45590: Damper 2M 11402: Tool Wheel 14045: Headset W. Shaft Ø1.5 56891: Tyre Balloon Wide Ø 37X18 14520: Brick 1X4X1 2/3 W. V. Knobs 11303: Figur Head Clothing No 6 50943: Motor 2X2X1 1/3 55981: Rim Wide 18/14 W. Hole Ø4.8 Work in progress: Bag#1 monster truck and his driver. I have to commend the constructor. A nice, simple, robust design. Minimum elements and yet very nicely preserved line, color and magnitude of the vehicle itself. Great matched tires ! What unfortunately has been changed in the set 60055. Someone pointed out that the wheels in 60055 are too small. Here are perfect ! Massive, in the shape of balloons. The only drawback is the fact that the chassis is stiff, there are no springs, and the possibility of tilting / rocking structure, but the rest deserved for a big plus ! Bags#2+3: whole transport truck My first truck with a long lead. Extremely heavy this front. The whole built. Bag#4: trailer 8 studs wide. Unfortunately curve. The front part rises to the top. Take a look at the second picture. Tractor straight, minifig also and part pulls upward :-/ WORK IN PROGRESS: Finished set: Efficient eye and attentive reader will notice that in the last photo does not really have shown the whole set, because missing ... tools. They are packed in a separate bag and I did not want to unpack them. BENEFITS: + truck (as a whole: size, color, construction) + monster truck (as a whole: size, color, construction) + compact construction + lack of multiple colour bricks in chassis + whole bag of tools for the minifigures WEAKNESSES: - curve shape in the front of trailer - too many labels – 17pcs ! - ramp – it’s unnecessary IMO - connection between truck and traile is weak SUMMARATION: Interesting item even two: Long truck and extraordinary monster truck. The whole is maintained in an interesting color-climates. Few moving parts give more realism. Several interesting and new blocks. Ratio of blocks to the price atractive. I am happy with my purchase and I can honestly recommend it to fans ... wheels :-) BTW: I wonder if 60055 will fit to 60027 ?
