I particularly likes the detail of the front of the truck, incorporating the headlights, as well as the use of the grille and the use of red Ehrling bricks to support the fender. The 2×3 inverse slope now has internal supports between the studs. The holes in the rail are now filled, which allows for consistent placement of a bar within, and also prevents distortion of their shape. You can seed that the stem of the ring has widened with time. Strengthening the elements: on the left are some older versions of functionally identical elements. The hinge mechanism used by the truck roof and helicopter cap has been replaced by one that ‘clicks’ into place. The wedge plate has been replaced with one that features notches for the studs. The chunky tyres used on the small wheels in this suit are no longer in use, with a larger rim now being in use for trucks in LEGO City. Some of the elements used in this set that are no longer available in this form: while the truck doors were available in this printed form in one other set, that variation is no longer available today. And I haven’t even started to look at the removal of light gray from the palette, to be replaced by medium stone gray/light blueish gray in around 2004-2005. LEGO Elements are constantly under development: the company is always searching for more efficient ways to make elements: to ensure they are strong and robust enough to withstand a child’s play, enhance safety and ease of play, and improve the efficiency of raw material usage while retaining functionality.Ī number of elements appearing in this set have undergone subtle modifications subsequent to this set’s release, and some are just not part of the current parts palette any longer.

This year also saw the introduction of the new railing element 2486 ‘Bar 1x8x2’. There are a few elements that made their debut around this time, and 1988 saw the introduction of the new helicopter blade element, as well as the peg on a tile for it to connect to. Construction was simple, and completed in around 10 minutes. The instructions come on a single sheet of paper, with the instructions for building the truck on one side, and the helicopter on the other.

The set came in a couple of zip lock bags, and appeared to be well loved, as any set of this era should have been!

I obtained mine through a Brick Link seller in the Netherlands. It retailed for $17, but is, unsurprisingly, no longer readily available through standard retail channels. Released in 1983, 6357 has 177 pieces and 2 minifigures. Today I would like to look at the original Truck/Helicopter Combination from 1988: 6357 Stunt ‘Copter ‘N’Truck and Compare it with the current offering, 60183 Heavy Cargo Transport. Some might consider the 5590 Model Team version from 1990 to be the ultimate form of this type of construction, with large scale construction and functionality. While primarily a Town/City style of set, this sort of set has also manifested in Model Team, Creator and even Jack Stone forms. However, I am going to jump past that flaw in logic to examine this special class of set, which not only celebrates its thirtieth anniversary this year, but also has its tenth representation in a LEGO Set. Just why a highly manoeuvrable flying vehicle needs a truck to take it from Point A to Point B, unless it has broken down, and managed to land in a somewhat controlled fashion without dismembering all on board, in such a circumstance, I am not entirely sure. Today I would especially like to look at the helicopter transporter truck. I have also seen a particularly strong set of coincidences between the Town range of 1988 and that of today, and I would like to explore this further today.

This year, as I have previously discussed, we are seeing some interesting parallels between the LEGO city sets, and sets that are 20, 30 and 40 years old. And the only thing better than a LEGO set with a vehicle to build, is a LEGO set with two vehicles to build! Sorry for the use of a dodgy segue there. Just as Minifigures (Happy fortieth birthday for last weekend folks) bring life to a LEGO® Town layout, so do vehicles.
