Barcode Truck (8479)

Barcode Truck


This is one of the bigger sets with well over a thousand pieces that will keep you occupied for several hours. It's one of those models that needs a lot a care when building it because if you leave out a cog at stage 20 you are going to regret it when you discover your mistake at stage 50 :( It's a great model for those of you who are really into the technical aspects of these sets rather than a combination of looks and gears. I like the way that the barcode reader slots in behind the cab and can be used to 'read' the flywheel geared to the wheels (used to make the engine noise speed up when the truck is pushed along).

Score: 9/10
Pieces: 1263
