The question that needs to be asked is if it can fit inside its own tipper.

@WesterBricks:
No use for the wheels or tires?

I’ve got a bag each of four different colors of those crystal parts - I think about 200 each. You’d think that was a lot, but it’s a shockingly small volume, and they weren’t cheap, even at LUGBulk prices.

I find green to be well-suited to a dump truck as shown here, or a recycling truck, if I were to choose something other than yellow. After 60324 was revealed, although I probably won't be able to get it, I'm starting to consider diversifying the livery for my construction equipment.

It is funny that you talk about the part use for Power Miners ,
when I am sitting here and think that the piece originally came from the Rock Raiders 4970 4980
which I can fill now with trans-neon green power crystals ."
My thoughts exactly.

So funny. I was just building this set last week. It came to me in a bin of bulk and I had to search Bricklink to figure out what set the cab went to. I'm missing one piece (a 4L Technic link for connecting the tipper to the base) and once I get it, I plan on passing this along to a youngster who will get more joy out of it than this AFOL.

Great for the chrome fuel tank.

@peterlmorris:
I have a bag of 300 rubber duckies from LUGBulk. It’s about the size of a Quarter Pounder. I imagine a bag of 200 crystals would be closer to the size of the basic McD’s hamburger.

@ElephantKnight:
He should take two decent-sized steps to his own right. Our left. That’ll solve...you know, something.

I would buy this over this past year’s speed champions line up

My 5 year old would love this......have you seen what a 5 year old does to a fragile set made of small parts?

Too much hate on here when huwbot fails to select a AFOL approved set!

"27 pieces, and the only useful ones are the tipper bed and the fuel tanks."

Well, the wheels and the canopy can be useful.

@WesterBricks : The inventory lists some gray 1x4 tiles. And some of the other pieces could be useful depending on your building style.

"You're all focussing on the pieces and ignoring the instructions, which were - literally - two steps on a single page, followed by a 2 page comic where Jack Stone saves a poor family from freezing to death by repurposing the dump truck into a digger truck. Merry Christmas everybody!"
That was my favorite thing about Jack Stone and several other 00s LEGO themes for that matter. You could even see some of it in the biannual catalogs. You just don't see much of that anymore these days. What set Jack Stone's version of this apart from the other themes was that the juniorization of all this made rebuilds super obvious and trivial, so it didn't seem like you had to completely break down a model in order to rebuild it to something completely different, which might seem daunting to someone new to rebuilding and customization — you could take baby steps with large "modules" so to speak and still get interesting results.

All the large parts seemed to have disappeared except the tipper bed part 4194029 reappeared again in 7596, and now has me thinking about how to use in a GBC as only around 40p?

I dunno... that cab might be good for a spaceship.

I know the following is classified as a Speeder ( 7133 ) , but the idea already was there ^^ "

I actually built a green / white version of set 7133 using this truck's cockpit glass for the green Futuron astronaut almost four years ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55973205 @N08/25518729387/in/album-72157635156973277/

Sadly, I still haven't procured the fig in question for this ship. (I forgot, and prices have gone up since 2018.)

With some URLs, only part of it converts to a hyperlink. Since the back half of this isn’t in blue text, you’ll need to copy/paste the entire thing into your address bar.

You are correct... most links don't play nice with Brickset for some odd reason. I've never understood why!

It is the @ symbol there in this case (the space doesn't help either).

Oh no, we lost Huwbot to Jack Stone now :-(

Actually that part originated in Power Miner's predecessor Rock Raiders.

I tried, it didn't work"

You'll need to remove the space before the @ symbol from the url when you paste it, too. Because Brickset's system interpreted symbol as an attempt to tag a member, it also placed an extra space before it that otherwise doesn't belong there. Once I deleted the space, however, I found the url worked as it should ^^

One day, we will have to have a discussion about Lego's willful injected frivolity of the word "brick" in places where it really doesn't belong, like the sticker grille of this truck. For a company that emphasizes creativity, they are surprisingly intellectually bankrupt when it comes to worldbuilding.

Brick is a metasyntactic variable. There are no vehicle manufacturers in the world of Lego System and Octan is pretty much the only company.

Also, this truck is seemingly both autonomous and sapient: it is able to respond to the uh, "minifigure's" hand gestures to dump the load despite nobody being at the controls.

27 pieces,...wierd, the box says 28....

Dump trucks carry gravel. You know what gravel is made out of? Ground-up stones. Jack Stones. Mwuhahaha!

I mean, check out the photo of the driver figure on Bricklink. Is his mustache really dyed metallic silver? This guy's a killer. Don't believe that cutesy comic in the directions. That freezing family's getting hauled off to a gruesome demise.

My, that got dark pretty quick.

Speaking of dump trucks, it's been a while since City had one that wasn't 4+, but it's also been a while since a construction subtheme so hopefully something soon.

@CopperTablet:
Octan may be the largest company by several degrees, but it is by no means the only one. For one thing, a number of licensed companies have made their way into city/town sets. The LEGO Company even exists within their world. Mostly, though, it’s a bunch of one-off local companies that you’ll never see referenced in a second set.
