Lego City 60408 - Car Transporter - Kind of a Review

- Lego continues to throw at us the sets that we always wanted to have, but I'm afraid that it comes with a price. Like, literally, a real price. In real money.
The Lego City 60408 - Car Transporter set is a bit of a sweet and sour proposition: it's a great set, well finished and with lots of details. It's even a very complete playset, and given that the size of the trailer asks for a lot of cars, Lego delivered on that front. The price tag though... it's a reminder that this level of fidelity for a truck set will probably never be seen on cheaper sets. Even though Lego tried it's best to add value to it and justify it's high price, it's still feels expensive for what is, ultimately, just a semi-truck with some cars.

Love the car with the flames on it - nice style
It is! And when compared with the 2 other cars, it ends up standing out from the pack because the build is also different. I'm sure you'll enjoy it if/when you get this set!
That yellow and black car with the flame on it is pretty kickass. Wish they sold just THAT as a $10 or $15 set. I'd buy it just cuz it would look so cool on a shelf.
Agree, it is a very iconic looking little car. Maybe they'll come up with more classic-looking cars like this if there's enough reception. Back in 1992 they released 6648 alongside 6551, as well as 6538 with 6561 in 1993, and I think it's something that Lego should look into again.
@@NiltzsBoxofBricks I'd love to see a really good Star Wars Bespin twin cloud car, in orange, not the hokey one they did in red. They're getting really good at SHAPING, as this model car shows.
Now THAT is a Star Wars vehicle that hasn't got enough love from Lego. The new orange introduced this year for the City Space sets would work wonders, and with so many new sloped pieces we have now, I think it's time to revisit it.
@@NiltzsBoxofBricks Definitely. I've seen some MOCs that come close, but a Lego designer with every piece ever made at his or her disposal, and even able to create a new brick if needed, could do wonders with a Bespin twin pod car. That very short scene in Empire is just so COOL.
Yeah, and let's be honest, back then Boba Fett became a fan favourite with little screen time. Who knows, the Bespin twin cloud car could be the Boba Fett of Star Wars vehicles, just give it a chance! :D
I look forward to MOC builders utilize the 5th wheel trailer hitch piece and trailer connector
Me too, but most importantly, I hope that Lego sticks to it for future truck sets.
I'm still not completely sold on the customizable cars. I just don't really think they look good swapped.
Although they are a great idea.
On this set, they look attrocious when swapped. The cars are all too different for it to work. That said, I think they did good in adding the option IF they're releasing more sets with this feature, and embrace the wackiness of having parts swapped even if they don't match.
It reminds me of a collection of toy cars in the 80s that would allow to swap the front, centre and back part of the cars, and just mix and match them in wacky ways. And for the life of me, I cannot remember the brand. They were bigger than Micro Machines, so they were probably Hot Wheels, but I can't confirm. And of course Google is not helping either.
Kids seem to love them and especially that they can make their own. One of my local LEGO stores had a in-store event where kids could make their own and they seemed to be having a blast
Wow wish I had this when I was a kid. Great looking set
Having this as an adult is one thing. Having it has a kid would absolutely hit different.
Speed champions are way too large ..l I much prefer six-wide cars like these
Speed Champions never meant to be compatible with City. It's two different series. I prefer 8-stud wide models because it's more detailed and less out of proportions.
@@xdrixn2115 6-stud speed champions were meant to be compatible with City. Since 8-stud - they no more.
The truck is a _cab forward_ design that’s really well done and definitely more European in design
aka Cab Over & Flat nose/face
How does the LEGO truck and the mobile crane look next to this truck? Would love to see the two trucks with the cabs switched (we won’t get this truck in North America until August )
Still haven't built the Lego truck, but once I do and review it, I'll make sure to put them side by side 👍🏻
