LEGOCity 60020 Cargo Truck Toy Building Set

Bought as a Christmas present for my grandson. He absolutely loves LEGO and has uncountable sets. He builds them as soon as he gets them and then keeps them built to play with. LEGO brand is wonderful. Everything I have purchased from this brand is excellent. Grandson is 9 years old and saves up his money and buys a lot of sets for himself. They are great teaching toys are pretty sturdy after being assembled, enough so that they can be played with. My other grandchildren play with them also (6-8 year olds), all except the four year old who is not careful enough with them.

Got this for my 2 year old son since it has forklift and cargo truck.When the container part (white box on the truck) comes off, it became like flatbed which is exciting for him.For forklift, you can take the rubber band(putting the fork upward all the time) off too which give them more freedom to put it down. But of course they will need to lift it up and put pallets into the cargo truck.For the kid who loves truck, learning words like pallet and using forklift to put pallets inside the cargo truck by opening the side of the container is quite fun.

It is difficult to single out one LEGO set from the rest because the manufactured quality, effort, imagination and creativity are recognized in every single set, with no difference. In my opinion you cannot make a mistake, whichever you choose. I started bying LEGO sets long time ago and still, after all these years, I see that they preserved all the trademarks of their products and plus added some improvements over time. A job well done!

I purchased this set because I am a fan of the cheap City vehicles that Lego has put out recently under the Great Vehicles line, and while I don't think 60020 Cargo Truck is technically part of the line, it is very similar in that it includes a single large vehicle with some accessories and a few minifigs.The main feature is of course the truck- it shares a similar cab design with other recent City trucks, but features a large cargo hold in the rear. The entire left side swings upward to allow cargo to be loaded or unloaded. While it would have been more realistic to have a truck that opened from the rear, Lego's design allows for increased accessability and playability as the cargo pallets can be individually lifted and placed into the truck using the included forklift. The forklift is designed well and is my favorite part of the set. The bricks used give it a streamlined appearance and the spring-loaded fork makes picking up cargo pallets easy. One pallet contains three red gas cylinders, and the other contains a detailed car/truck engine. Overall the set is well-designed and will fit right in with other City trucks.What hurts this set the most is the MSRP. At $40, this set is double the price of similarly sized Great Vehicles trucks but certainly not double the content, only containing one more minifig and the forklift. It is a fun set but a poor value at full price. Amazon fortunately does run sales on it at $25-30, which makes it much more appealing and brings it in line with other similar City sets.

I bought two of these sets so that G-Nephews ages 4 and 6 could assemble them at his own pace. These boys are true "Lego lovers." They enjoyed constructing, were amused by the small pieces like the worker's coffee mug. Each is proud to display the finished work in his bedroom. They also learned the concept of "logo," asking about the meaning of the company symbol.

My grandson was disappointed. There was so little to actually put together. He was hoping to have to do more to set it up.

My 7.5 yr old loves this set! But, I think because he was too excited to play w/ it, (thus wanted to complete the build quickly,) he asked for help from his big brother. Otherwise, I feel most 7-8 yr olds could build this with little/some parental assist.My little guy's favorite part of this set is the functional fork lift!

This product is fun, but it was missing one of the red hats. I bought it for my grandson and I to put together. We were disappointed the guy didn't have his hat. The toy itself is very cool. I wish we could get a replacement for the hat. The kit had 2 earphones and the kit only shows 1. I don't have another hat with a hole in the top to use the extra earphones with.
