It looks like it should have HOG and a tipping bed. To me, the price seems a bit much. But maybe it has more to offer than it seems. The wheelarch in black is nice.

Looks very cool in my eyes!

Looks awesome. I must buy it. Hope this set has medium linear actuator.

Well i like this set i think this set is strongly inspired of 8052 set but its sad to see power functions gone in new 50€ set because the 8052 was 50€ with power functions and the tipping bed had 2 different modes first was the tipping and secon was you could lower the bed to ground and leave the bed to ground and drive away without bed:)

What a refreshment after all the cars. Nice looking set with some OG  vibes (perhaps because it is unlicensed)

At least in brickmerge, the 8052 did cost 69€ in 2010, which, including inflation, equals 100€ in 2024, so twice the price of the 42203.

But I agree with you, that only steering and tipping function (and doors) is a bit poor for a 50€ set, as these are the same functions as the 42147 for 10€...

Overall, it looks nice and for a discount with a price of 40€, this is a really nice parts pack :-)

Looks nice but the price is outrageous. How can the John Deere Harvester with 100 parts more cost 43€, the Mack Garbage Truck with 40 parts more 35€, but this small no-name truck here 50€!?!

Yeah for 50 EUR I'd expect at least something extra, like 4 axles or 3 way tipper.

At this point I start to believe that some license owners are paying for Lego from marketing budget (e.g. Mack) and so we get cheaper sets on their behalf and some licenses Lego is buying (Ferrari) so we get inflated prices.

Think this ugly thing was concocted to suck up surplus dark blue parts from the Red Bull car.

Ironically, the truck and excavator in the background look better.

Both the harvester and the garbage truck had a lot of system parts. And small parts. They are smaller even though they use more parts.

The point is not just the part count but that they were licensed and still cost less than this set.

Better look at the simplistic tipping function. 2ttoys has higher res images of the rest of them posted here before.

[Maaboo the Witch]

Doesn't even use a linear actuator! What the hell?

[Ngoc Nguyen]

Is the chassis just like, 2 frames slapped together?

Well the simplistic tipping function could be resolved maybe with L linear actuator but last time we saw those was in cat d11 buldozer and that would need a much more crancking so i think personally if this new mechanism work faster and would not be hard to move in unloading heavy cargo is win win but i still wish we had those cool functions from the 8052:)

[Timewhatistime]

Not regarding the price, I like this tipping dump truck.

The colours match it's (little) brothers 42112 and 42147. Seems like dark blue becomes what once was yellow for TLG's construction vehicles.

I wonder how the tipping mechanism works exactly... still cannot understand the purpose if the 2x4 L-shaped liftarms beneath the bed... looks very wobbly to me so far.

The lbg half bush ABOVE the HOG wheel is a thing I really don't like. There must be a better combination of axle lengths!

[M_longer]

Sooo basically we have 8052, which was ripped off everything that made it cool. Power Functions, linear actuator and hooklift mechanism.
For the same price!
Well to be fair, not the same. Inflation adjusted value of 8052 would be around 70€:


But I'm still disapointed that they use same simple lifting mechanism in 10€ (42147) set and 50€ set.
