Hello Everyone ! After a couple of months watching this forum I decided to join and share my reviews of sets which I like mostly: City Great Vehicles. I see that no one post a review of 60059 Logging Truck so please let me do it, as my first post here. Hopefully, I do not destroy anything ;-) Review of 60059: Logging Truck Details: Series: City Release year: 2014 Qty of bricks: 228pcs Qty of minfigures: 2 Qty of bags with bricks: 2 large bags + 2 small bags Bricklist: BrickLink Price: ~20Euro (local shop in Poland) Brickset BrickLink From the beginning, when I first read the list of sets for 2014, it was my number one. A "must have" set. Topic still undiscovered in Lego City sets. Green truck with bales of trees. In my mind I saw an American truck with a trailer behind the cabin... Expectations were high, and comparing with the other "names" from the 2014 list I was expecting a lot of. Box: Well-matched: 26cm x 19cm and 6cm high. It seems to be a box for a standard medium-sized sets. Inside, there is nothing oversize. Looking at the box we see the severity of the set. The well-known tripartite division was preserved: chassis, cab and "crate". The last one, which is often the most important part, almost decorating a whole sets, in this case is skimpy. But do not judge a book by its cover. And what about that cover in detail ? FRONT & REAR TOP & BOTTOM LEFT & RIGHT Instruction: Booklet with a rectangular shape. A typical, nothing special, no distinctive statement. 46 assembly steps, of which the first 24 are perfectly symmetrical design. Bags & labels: Minifigures: .. and here the first advantage of the set! Two smiling lumberjacks. Each in its own way amusing. Both in plaid shirts with collars. The visually older one, with a funny ginger beard looks like a Scotsman. Second, the younger, has glasses and a chainsaw. Both minifigs, are so different, although perform similar operations. Different shades of clothes, different heads, different headgear, headphones and various tools. Super Saw! The only minus is the fact that Scotsman lost pliers and a hammer in his trousers ... ;-) Interesing bricks: 4163290: Ball Coupling Friction/Fork 4656483: Mini Head "No. 929" 6055313: Flat Tile 2X2 Round W. Hole Ø4.85 6022484: Mini Upper Part 6037621: Lattice For Frame 4X6 4667888: Claw 3M W. Grip Work in progress: Finished set: === === === === === BENEFITS: + interesting topic, + lifting / gripper system, + cover of the cab, + two saplings extra in the set, + outstanding green colour, + low quantity of labels, set could function well without them, WEAKNESSES: - chair on the lifting / gripper system = naive design, - how to get there ? :-) - two balls of trees are not enough = three, in my opinion, should be the minimum in this set - mirrors stick out too much, - somewhere between the rear lights I would add a plate with a hook or handle for trailer, SUMMATION: Hmm ... either heats or chills. On the one side it's a good design, on the other disappointing. Interesting minifigs, chainsaw but the truck should be here to be the most important, a star. In one a word: GOOD. I've been expecting a little bit more, as I wrote at the beginning of my review. At the end I may say that the whole set is simple, straightforward, even banal. Too bad, because like 60061: Airport Fire Truck has potential. We can expand gripper, add trailer which can easily may create much more massive and solid construction. It also seems to me that the cab might be like in 60056: Tow Truck. Maybe a long trailer instead of a short "crate" ? It's good truck but I believe that the designer will do upgrade of this set (not only facelifting) in the forthcoming future creating 'a monster beetween the trees' ;-)
