Container Truck Reviews
Brickset
“In summary, it's pretty much a perfect Technic set and one that would make a great introduction to the theme. It's not too big to be intimidating but it's still packed with realistic functionality that mirrors that on the real vehicles. It's attractive and colourful. It... More doesn't take ages to build, it's not too complex, but it is very satisfying to construct and also to operate once it's complete. It's my favourite Technic set of the year.”

“First of all this set does look great. It's vibrant colors do this model justice. Compared to the 8109 Flatbed Truck and the 42008 Service Truck the new tires are way better for building in this scale. Secondly, the new tires and some new parts are introduced. In my opinion... More these parts are not as interesting as the ones in the 42023 Construction Crew set.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
