A really good build for a small model, and lots of interesting stuff to brick aswell. For now I'm simply submitting the pics, I'll come back later to explain them, right now, I need to talk to a good friend...I'm back eh...

The first 2 pics are the back and front of the box of course, the next 3 are of a new piece, that can actually be built from several smaller pieces, although I think the new design runs smoother then building it, it has special grooves to keep pieces running smoothly while staying perfectly alligned.

I can't say enough about how Lego has started to combine technics with regular building, hopefully they'll do it with Duplo soon, afterall, it will only make our little brickers smarter in the long run.

A little note on stickers, or a building tip, as it were. The small ones can be placed quite accuratly if you use a narrow but long set of tweezers. The lip that surrounds my building mat also helps to steady my oldnshakey hands. The big stickers were actually the hardest, I admit I may have done better if the light was equal on both sides of my build.

In pic #7 I see pieces that are new to me and have some cool MOC aPPs aswell.

In 8 and 9, the pics here depict the water hose, the tiny blue piece that inserts and leaves you with a single stud is great at one end, but not the other. You see the piece is designed to insert, whereby compressing the internal diameter, without that compression, the hose wants to fall out, thereby reducing the happy meter on playability. Nobody's perfect. BT (building tip) the tiny needle nose smooth jawed pliers are ideal for grasping pieces that need to be removed.

Pic 10 is the leftovers, we all love those..

The last 3 are display, next to the Crawler Crane.

For the prise and the experience, this model is a 10 out of 10 (I'll post the price in Canadian later).

Next endevour, the recycle truck, which I plan to display in the living room portion of my diorama.

How funny, I was just about to post a review for this set and the garbage truck too.  Smiley None the less good review.

That's what the dash -1 is for pal, go ahead, make my day and post your review, I for one would love to see it, but you'll have to settle with -2, right R8?
