C-C-C-COMBO!

It took four years for War to finally nail down the right lyrics.

Huwbot really went low with this pick. But at least he's trying to dig himself out of the hole!

You gotta love that classic Lego logo.

Man, the health and safety people I work with would not like the number of violations going on in that picture. Tuck your arm in properly!

Looks like a fairly high loader to me

Consider modern instructions with how they pointedly avoid using written text to explain anything. Numbers are used to sequence steps, inform you of length of Technic axles, or to identify which sticker you're supposed to place on a given part, but you don't actually need to know the Arabic numeral system to get through any of those. The piece counts are a little trickier, but you can still figure out how many you need by locating where they're place in that step.

Pictograms are used to explain that you shouldn't make Technic parts pinch, and a hybrid pictogram/text is used to note when a part should click into place. That last one is the only instance I can think of where a word is used to explain part of a step.

So looking at this, they were trying to do the same thing with the age rating. NA instructions are written in English and Spanish (covering the vast majority of those who were born in the American continents), with French thrown in to comply with Canadian law. I'm not sure how they handle Brazil, which accounts for nearly half of South America's population and speaks Portuguese because of that time when Spain and Portugal drew a line down the planet and declared that each of them owned half of it. I know Europe gets messier. A few countries share a single language, and others have significantly large populations, but countries like Lithuania have small populations and official languages spoken by relatively few people.

The problem with this solution is it's too abstract. Yes, it shows the progression of age, but you can't tell the scale from the pictogram. It could be 1-5, 11-15, or each figure could represent three years of age.

Funny..in all my 'classic' parts, I never had one 1x6 brick w/the headlight & grille pattern (heavy vehicles basically)...tons of the 1x4s, which I hated when Lego switched to silver/reflective paint/printing. That stuff would come off if ya' looked at it funny...:D

I'm pretty sure I have at least 1 of the 1x6 (I think mine is also yellow, but not from this set) and a few of the 1x4 with silver grill print (blue being my fav). I didn't like them when I was young, preferring the headlamp pieces, but I can appreciate them now.

I'm wondering if anyone has this set? I'm really interested to know how the track is holding up with age.
