I got this back in the day for my birthday, and I played the heck out of it and still occasionally use the pieces for MOCs. The price to part ratio alone is stellar, but the price to volume ratio is even better. If this was released today, it easily could’ve been 50-60 bucks, but you get this for 25 which is truly a phenomenal deal with great minifigures and a fun-to-build, playable set. I would be willing to buy this for 60-70 bucks on eBay sealed.

The Truck & Forklift (7733) is a LEGO City set which came out in 2008. It comes with 2 minifigs and 343 pieces. This set does include a few decals and there're no mistakes in the instructions and no missing pieces.




Minifigures:

Truck driver: The truck driver comes with a blue shirt, brown hair, silver shades, dark gray pants and a red coffee mug. The shirt also has some cool markings on it. The face is very basic to the LEGO City theme.

Forklift driver: The forklift driver comes with a red helmet and a blue overall and a black beard. He also has a black walkie talkie. The face is very basic to the LEGO City theme.

Forklift:

The forklift is the best forklift I've ever built. The details of this vehicle are so nicely made and we get a yellow seat and a steering wheel. We also get sviwel headlights and 2 antennas. This set also includes 3 pallets. One comes with oil, the other one has gas on it and the 3rd pallet has 2 containers and one box on it. The forklift works really good and it's very easy to build.

Truck:

The truck is very cool. The trailer can be detached of the rig and both containers can be opened. The pallets will fit in very easily. The ceiling of the rig comes off very easily and you can see the seat and the steering wheel. There's also a place to put the coffe mug. In the front you can see the headlights, the grill, a windscreen and the license plate. One one side is a very cool exhaust pipe and on each side you can see a driving mirror. The stickers for the containers were really difficult to put on if you want to have a clear green stripe.



Positive:

Great pieces which you can youse for brickfilms or MOC's
Minifigs
Design
Nice starter set

Negative:

All in all it's a great set to get and I would highly recommend you to get this model. You can find this set on eBay, BrickLink and Amazon for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full galery I made for this set on my website: http://www.klokriecher.de

Review

I think Lego took a big step up in Cargo with this one. I love this set. It has many details, and playability. It is a great set which includes many features. I love every part of this set. This set will deliver, not disappoint.


The Figures
The figures are fairly decent. The truck driver is wearing a plaid buttoned shirt, sunglasses, and gray pants and he has brown hair. The forklift driver is wearing blue overalls, with little tools tucked in the pockets, blue pants, and a hard hat. He has a thin shave around his face, and has your average, "you can count on me" face. 5/5

The cargo stuff
I find the cargo to be the best part of the set. Not only does it look realistic, it has some nice pieces as well. One of the cargo is a trio of three boxes, two of them say cargo all over them (STICKERS) , and the third one has a warning sticker on the top. The other one, is a very odd piece of machinery with a pressure dial (not a sticker) Unfortunately, i don't know what it is. My favorite cargo is the one with three tubes. They each have a yellow transparent circular brick in the middle, which i find very interesting. I think they are atom bombs. 5/5

The forklift
I think the forklift is a great addition to the set. It has a lifting mechanism piece which you attach to the forklift to make it look realistic. It has a ladder roof, a light on top of it, which i like, and two of those antenna yellow pieces. There is a seat for the driver, with a steering wheel. On the back there are two red lights and two curved pieces. 5/5

The truck
The truck is very cool. It has a seat inside and steering wheel. It has lights lights on the front and back. There are some cool looking stuff on the sides that look like stuff you see on trucks. The container unit can be attached to the truck and can hold one cargo. It opens up one one side to put in the cargo. The same is for the trailer but you can put in two pieces of cargo in it because it is slightly larger. Very cool truck. 5/5

It is a very cool set and i recommend it to anyone!

I was looking through the Lego catalogue when I noticed this set (7733) and thought was a great addition it would be to my collection of City vehicles. I looked everywhere for it, all the usual places such as Toys ‘R’ Us, Argos, John Lewis, I had even looked when I was out and about on business but never saw it. So I turned to eBay and low and behold there it was. I think I paid a little over the odds for it (£24.99) but I thought it was going to be the only way to get hold of it so I bought it. I have not been disappointed with it, it’s a great set, goes so well with the other trucks of the same scale and it looks right at home on the forecourt of the City Garage (7642). To be honest, the set is more than just the truck; there is the forklift and the various pieces of cargo, so as usual I’ll separate the review into the following sections:

The Truck:

The truck is very typical of the many drawbars which can be seen travelling the length and breadth of the country along the motorways and in / around ports and docks. The main truck features three axles, a small cab which can seat the supplied driver and the rear container unit. The cab can comfortably seat the driver along with his coffee cup. The windscreen is a solid one-piece affair to which the fully adjustable wing mirrors fit. The high grill features lights, vents and a bumper with number plate attached. The design of the lower area under the cab means that there appear to be ‘steps’ for the driver to use when entering / leaving the cab, very clever design. Just behind the cab, on the road level are various tanks and lockers, there is also a vertical exhaust and large antenna. The roof of the cab is a one-piece design and features the ‘Transport’ logo and associated graphics. The container unit nudges up to the rear of the cab and has a full-length opening hatch allowing various pieces of cargo to be loaded / unloaded by the supplied forklift. The hatch, when closed makes a good connection and remains in the ‘closed’ position even when the vehicle is ‘driven’. The container unit follows the same white and lime green colour scheme of the cab and also requires various graphics to be attached, warning chevrons are also supplied to be attached to the rear of the container. The trailer container unit is attached to the tractive vehicle and again follows the sane white and lime green colour scheme. The trailer has a steerable haul axle at the front end and one fixed axle towards the rear of the trailer. Like the main container unit, the trailer unit features a full-length opening hatch allowing more pieces of cargo to be loaded / unloaded, again the connection when ‘closed’ is good. Graphics are also attached as are warning chevrons and a set of lights and rear number plate.

The Forklift:

The forklift is very modern in appearance and surprisingly robust. This vehicle has a red and black colour scheme and a small cage in which the operator can sit. Behind the operators seat is the counter-weight area. Two spotlights face forward towards the upright mast onto which the forks are attached. A load apron ensures that the load is correctly balanced. Two small antennae and a simple amber beacon complete this mini-set perfectly.

The Accessories:

The set features two minifigs; the truck driver who is dressed in grey trousers and a blue sweater, and the forklift operator (with handheld CB radio) who wears overalls and a red hard hat, he also has various ‘tools’ tucked into his overalls. There are three pallets of cargo which can be moved using the forklift. The first pallet contains various boxes of ‘cargo’; the second has what appears to be a double tank (in Octan colours) with a grab rail, meter and vent. The third pallet support what look to be three ‘toxic’ barrels, well they seem to be ‘glowing’ a little!

Overall, an excellent set, so much seems to be included in this set, and it’s so much more than just a truck! If the City trucks are your thing then you won’t be disappointed with this one…

This is a awesome set!

Pros:
Cool fork lift!
Cool truck!
nice walkie-talkie!
nice gray wheels not many in Lego City!
awesome red drink!
the forklift has a spring in it so that it automically go's up!

Cons:
box on truck falls of!

over all this set is great if you can find it get it.
