    Vidiator uncovered this picture on a German website, It's a beauty, isn't it!

    There might be larger images of other 2013 sets on the site too but I haven't been able to find them. If you can, please let me know.

My wallet is getting smaller and smaller with the amount of set's I'm having to buy next year!

It looks nice but I still like the 2010 Tank Truck a little better #3180. Surprised they would make another one so quickly as the previous truck only went eol about a year ago. Then again this is the City theme, vehicles get recycled all the time.

And to think people were complaining about the city sets next year. These three trucks are amazing!

Looks like the site removed it soon after. No 2013 sets are on it either.

Ok, but why is it under Ninjago though? O_O

Posted by Town in United States, 19 Oct 2012 18:23

Only 82 Euros! HAHAHA

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 19 Oct 2012 18:29

@Town: I'd expect $20/20EUR/16UK though.

The Lego trucks are starting to get boring now. They keep using the same cab design making the payload the only difference between sets.

Posted by Mad Hatter in Canada, 19 Oct 2012 18:55

@BlackRabbit if you do a Google search for European trucks they all pretty much look the same, with the only difference being the colour and payload.

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 19 Oct 2012 19:02

Which is also similar to the Americans ones as well. Mostly big nose, then a cab, then the back.

I like the 2013 City sets but I must say that given two of them are retreads of recent models its not imaginative. Lego used to make far nicer town items....oh for those days again!

Posted by suckerpunch83 in Canada, 19 Oct 2012 20:05

I'm sold on all 3 so far. The more vehicles the merrier.

Posted by bluemodern in United States, 19 Oct 2012 21:05

To me, it seems like this set has less pieces than the previous tank truck. Does anyone have an estimate for the piece count for this set?

Posted by Leggo my LEGO in Canada, 19 Oct 2012 21:28

/tanker truck

DO WANT

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 19 Oct 2012 21:34

@bluemodern: My guess is about 160-190 pieces.

Posted by Zackula in United States, 19 Oct 2012 22:01

Octan is Octan Energy now? Their logo looks like it's trying to look more green too.

Posted by legomaniac in United States, 19 Oct 2012 23:30

^ Looks like Octan is going green. Notice the Windmill transport set released a few years ago.

This tanker might carry biofuels :)

Posted by blounty23 in United Kingdom, 20 Oct 2012 03:03

Why's it always a German or Swiss website that has the 2013 pictures?

Posted by Noahs-Dad in United Kingdom, 20 Oct 2012 03:41

I can't believe this set has so much anticipation about it. I have a large petrol station set for my city and wasn't excited about it or considering buying it.

Unless I am missing something about this set, that makes its so special?

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 20 Oct 2012 04:17

^^^ Thanks, adding them now...

still searching...

@ Zackula
Octan has been trying to go green ever since the infamous 1980's Fabuland spill. Fabuland sets were no longer available but there were rumours of mutations.
Have you checked out those new Chima sets?

Posted by omnius in United Kingdom, 20 Oct 2012 08:43

I'm happy with 3180, so I'll pass on this.

Posted by bellybutton290 in United Kingdom, 20 Oct 2012 09:42

Not bad but to similar to the 2010 one to warranty my money.

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 20 Oct 2012 13:46

@Mod note: The last image has the Confidental on it, thus will need to be removed.

Posted by madforLEGO in United States, 21 Oct 2012 12:44

Id say the reasons why people like this truck are because not everyone got the 3180, and some people collect. Some people probably like the smaller design(especially parents I'm guessing) and price.
I like it and for 20 bucks its not too bad, considering it will probably be on sale for 15 a lot.
Now if they would just make a gas station again (and I do not mean that piddly one in the new Parking garage set)

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 21 Oct 2012 18:01

Perhaps Summer 2013 will have a gas station, but I'm not calling it until March-April 2013. There was one for '07.
