Problem with this playmat/baseplate/Container was keeping it flat after a bit of playing around.

I refuse to accept that as Lego.

I don't know, I feel like there are safer ways of transporting hazardous toxic waste. *shrug*

What do you have against Carl?

There were some very nice Tiny Turbos cars and trucks. The pickup truck here is a good example. I wish I had couple of sets but at the the time I thought the scale is not compatible with town sets.

What IS this... I have never seen this set or anything like that. But racers was never my thing.

Ah yes, Tiny turbos. The Hot wheels rip-off's!

Or do what this set does and make it a design feature!

Loved Tiny Turbos as a kid but absolutely abhorred the stickers. I think it was a nice way to bring back pre-minifig era 4 wide vehicles in form of Tiny Turbos, and I wish they were still a thing.

The tiny toxic stickers look too fiddly and did you have to put all the white paint road stickers on the baseplate using mm accuracy? Still wondering how you keep the ramp in a ramp position to allow ramping?

I have very fond memories of this one. When I was in kindergarten, the local mall had an annual Lego clearance where my mother took me after school, and this was one of the sets that I got there. (another set was the LEGO truck 3221)

I wonder how this set has just 145pieces. It looks like more to be honest. Good pricing as well! Seems good value for money..

You'd think toxic waste would be transported more securely than in barrels on a flatbed lorry!

This Was Basically Hot Wheels You Could Build... Until Now

I love how the packaging actually was itself a buildable, playable element. Forget the paper versus plastic bag debate -- zero waste is the ultimate solution to sustainable packaging of LEGO.

Yeah, Mega Beat Them To It

The road piece is brilliant for quick builds of science fiction roads and runways. Cheap too, especially compared with tiles, plates or baseplates. You just need enough Technic to hold them together. I made a very nice Corellian docks like in the movie “Solo”

No, that's about right. Barrels are appropriate packaging for many types of hazmat in transportation. In real life, at least in the US, there would also need to be some load securement (e.g. nylon straps) per part 393 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The drums would have standard markings which identity the specific hazard to emergency responders, and the driver (holding a commercial drivers license with a hazmat endorsement) would carry more detailed emergency response instructions as well.

The docks and tow signs look quite nice.

The stickers on the drums look like they are about to fall off.

Looks like the roads were designed with Technic holes so a couple beams could have been connected to solve that problem. Shame they weren't included with the sets.

That connection is one of my favorite bits of comic book trivia.

@CCC The initial impression of the road pieces just looked low quality for some reason. I think it’s those little tubes everywhere. But I’m sure it’s a fine set and is fun to play with. :)

In the previous serie with 8123 the beams were included, but here they are missing

...and here I thought this set tied into that one 1990's Sylvester Stallone movie about a tunnel collapse in NYC. (I think it was called 'Daylight'?)

Lego fast and furious.

Don't look at the additional images, the barrels get stacked two high!

The tubes allow you to attach other stuff, such as trees, signs, or the plates with pins underneath to build off.

I mean…60088 and 60106?

@BrickTeller:
And for a load that size, the truck would need to be placarded, too.

And they did it twice! They must _really_ want kids to get into some hardcore trouble.

"The ramp sticker and the skull stickers look like they're printed on regular paper, possibly just to mock up the set for photography."

The application is terrible. I can see how the paper doesn't wrap aroun the barrels, but many are applied crooked (most notably on one of the barriers). The road marking under the 'No Parking' sign is the worst. Some on the cars are also questionable. Unbelievable that's done by someone who does that work for a living.

I know it says this set is from 2010, but it really vibes as 2003 to me.

I don't know if I've ever seen it before.

I’ve been to the LEGO showroom at NYTF in 2002-2004. One of those years I remember they’d painted parts on some of the Bionicle sets because that was the only way to get them on the floor in their proper color scheme. The first Snowtrooper minifigs were also unveiled there, and they very obviously had 3D-printed helmets. Was it a good look in either case? No, absolutely not. But they had a hard deadline and that was the only way to meet it.

But can't have a dynamite hangout. Nope, that's too far.

LEGO set for simulating a car crash. Love the gritty somewhat realism of the stickers.
