Perhaps this part should be named 'Skip 480, Assembly' since the target audience is too young to do two digit multiplication.
The whole point of Juniors pieces is, indeed, to skip assembly.
My assembly?
I made a dump (truck)... IN THE TOILET!!! >:D
Three instances of this part, two of them garbage trucks and one of them a dump truck. Also, each of the three are of different colour: orange, green and yellow. I only own the orange one, myself.
I'm gonna repeat what I said about a similar Juniorized part a few months back and say that this would be great for Power Miners MoCs
Once again, I'm utterly stumped by the naming conventions for LEGO parts. There must be a translation issue from Danish to English...
Cool. Green Millennium Falcon.
Hey, you guys mind if we skip this part?
@PurpleDave: We should hold an assembly on that topic.
I own the yellow one from 10734. In fact, it was the main reason I got the set. Not the only one of course, since it made a great construction or demolition starter set, but something about this part made me want to build a dump truck MOC all around it rather than fashion my own.

I'd probably skip it.
I actually like this part...it's in my Lego 'Bucket-List' to build a flying/futuristic garbage truck using one of these (though probably in yellow) for the back.
Not sure one big piece counts as an assembly. Maybe you’re supposed to assemble things on it, that is an appreciable amount of studs

That would be a good idea to experiment with in MOCs.

It's a big piece and a small piece. The small piece is pre-attached, but can be removed undamaged with some effort.
Poor piece number 8x12x5.
Alas, you have been skipped.

It looks like its slightly shorter ancestor was called "TRUCK BODY 8X12X4 2/3". That one only appeared in 7789, five years before the Skip Assembly first appeared.
