Still looking forward to building mine! I wish I’d gotten the TRU version as well…

Ah yes! The second RSOTD that I own! One of my favorites too.

And 7848 has not been RSOTD yet, so we will see this truck one more time.....

Oh, I remember buying this one plain as day. It was in WHSmiths, back wall of the store, on the bottom shelf. I was a kid then, so the £24.99 I paid for it felt like so much more money than it actually was. The Toys 'R Us one may have more to it, but this one is the classic.

Wish I had gotten this...actually wish I got the Octan Semi that came out at the same time (3180), but this cab is waaaaaaaay better:). I mean the tire are tad small, but...

I'm probably should pull the instructions from somewhere, modify w/larger tires, and go from there:).

I’ve got this in a bulk buy sitting in my storeroom!
With instructions and all the little LEGO boxes!
Will make this a priority to build at some stage, it looks really great.
Fingers crossed I have all the parts…

I can't help but feel like that rendition of the LEGO logo, with the red seemingly "bleeding" out of the black border, would've been some kind of violation of their trademark guidelines.

It’s akin to dividing by zero, or buying a bag and the cashier puts the bag in a bag - could tear a hole in space time!

I love this set! I unfortunately learned of it just a few years too late so had to pick it up for more than it original sold for. But worth it, such a great set, especially with the boxes of itself in it! I have a vignette in my display case of the truck parked and the worker carting boxes over to my 918 to be transported to the lunar colony (it gets pretty dull there and the few shipments of new Lego sets they receive every year always brighten their days!).

I am sure this truck is based on a Volvo truck. Looks good I have the real one.

I picked up this plus two of the TRU version. Why?

Because 6391-1 Big Rig Truck Stop was a favorite set as a kid. When LEGO started getting the City vehicles in order, I started collecting. Some of my favorites from the 80s never got a “remake,” but enough did.

I love them!

I think this set still has a chance today, still looking fabulous.

The only negative I had about this set is the one I got had a slight color variation in the plates that made the roof of the trailer. Small annoyance and easy fix, though. Pairs nicely with the box truck from 60097.

The model trick is being loaded with small versions of the truck, which I can only assume are being loaded with even smaller version of the truck which are being loaded with yet smaller versions…
The absolute smallest version, I assume, is built directly out of protons and neutrons XD

My son bought this set with some saved-up money a year or so after its release, when he was three or four. He's now thirteen, but this set still sits proudly on one of his bedroom shelves.

No one's mentioned it yet, but I immediately thought of 2148. Looks like a tribute to that really cool set.

Scary stuff. What keeps me awake at night is the knowledge that dropped buttered toast always falls butter-side down and cats always land on their feet, so what happens when you tie buttered toast to the back of your cat and nudge it off the dining room table... a hole in space time seems the only sensible outcome. Or hover cats.

This was one I tried to save up for as a kid. 'Tried' being the keyword.

Still a good set.

For a city vehicle the inside of the cab was great with a bed and flat screen tv! The designer seemed to have made the truck a few bricks longer than usual in order to fit all this in. Similarly, a 32 stud trailer was far longer than usual, almost as if the designer was seeing if anyone in cost control would notice.

Surely a tribute to 6692"
Was about to say the same. I have 6692 and it's like the great-granddad of 3221

My cousin passed this set on to me when they got rid of most of their LEGO. I absolutely adore it! It’s not fancy, but it is still an excellent set.

Great set and happy memories.
This was my eldest son's first 'proper' (i.e. not Duplo) Lego set that he got for his 5th birthday.

Why is it called "Lego City Truck" rather than just "Lego Truck"? I guess it only delivers Lego City sets.

At Lego City Airport, the all-new LEGO® toys have arrived - and a truck is needed!
HEY!
Build the great Lego truck.
Load the toys!
And get going!
Drive the truck to Lego City, and save the day!
The new classic Lego Truck!

Is it any coincidence that this set came out the same year as Inception?

BWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

@LegoSonicBoy:
I don’t think their logo is that strictly defined. Besides, sticker alignment is fickle enough that leaving a red border on all four sides is the only way to guarantee you get a consistent black border on all four sides. You could just run the black off the edge, but the thin black line is a defined part of the logo. You could try to trim the sticker precisely at the thin black line, but then you’d risk any slight alignment issue chopping one or more edges off, and then leaving a red border on the opposite side(s). You could try to print the border in yellow so it blends in with the trailer, but any shift in alignment could result in yellow showing inside the black line, and red showing outside. Or you just run the red off the edge, print the black border line with enough room for error that any normal print alignment issue will result in a clean black border line that’s not so off-center that it appears misaligned on the sticker.

Indeed! I love Lego sleeper cabs, of which there haven't been too many over the years. Just a shame the back wall has two large openings because of the panels, but that's easy to fix.

My brother had this one and I still have 7848 together (it's on the floor to my right as I'm typing this). Pretty simple set, but lots of play value!

Love this set...
I remember getting it, as it was the first time I had a set withminidcfig scale Lego sets within it.

Have since bought several of the sticker sheets from it, and have a huge collection of MF scale Lego sets !

One of my most favorite LEGO sets I have. Im a trucker and love LEGO. Perfect together :D

"I just have the 2148 from 1997.
I like the size of this one, but prefer the chromed predecessor."

I have this as 10156, the 2004 re-release. I also own this RSOTD set as well.

I re-purchased this one in april 2021 after I originally owned it from 2010-2016. I sold off most of my city sets because they took up much space and the theme was 97% vehicles in its early years. I just didn't feel like it was that necessary to keep them. That's still the case for me, actually.
Anyway, I felt super nostalgic for this one and I still feel the same way. There's just something so charming about it. And it has a lot of interior space and even some commodities like the bed and screen. Not to mention the classic colour scheme. But at the same time it was modern for its time and still feels like a succesful design and build.

I recently bought this set because I love these type of Lego Brand sets. I started collecting all the Lego brand sets a while ago and most are really neat like this truck and the Lego brand store sets like 40305.

I just realized this is the 1337th random set!

I had the TRU version. Great truck, and my biggest Lego semi. For all you people talking about "trucks within trucks," consider that this set was once itself within a truck. Presumably, this is where it stops.
