- two parts of the instruction

- stickers

The instruction - by the first part we build SUV, and on the second - the trailer with Watercraft:

From interesting details of a set I want to note only wheels of new type:

0_bbbb0_5ec4b45e_XL.jpg

Minifigures - anything new here we won't find, all this already was:

- minifig in beachwear

0_bbba8_9201193f_XL.jpg

0_bbba9_60a1c4d7_XL.jpg

- minifig in a diving suit

To each minifig in a set the life jacket of new type is applied:

We pass to assembly.

At first we build SUV. In general SUV turned out very huge, even it is more than in the same 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer, because of the established wheels. And places in it similarly 7635. And in general, in my opinion, SUV turned out clumsy.

0_bbbaf_4e149888_XL.jpg

After SUV assembly, we pass to assembly of the trailer and hydrocycles. Here to carp there is nothing. The trailer looks pretty well, especially with new wheels. And hydrocycles - the best of all that were in Lego sets earlier!

Both hydrocycles have an identical design - difference only in color and speedometer indications.

Assembly is finished:

In SUV both minifigs - one for another are located. That to put them, it is necessary to remove a roof:

0_bbbc5_efb2bd65_XL.jpg

0_bbbc4_67eda2f9_XL.jpg

SUV - as I already wrote above, it has very huge wheels. Because of what it looks clumsily and not in proportion. Though for games by the small child most that. Also it seems to me the windshield form isn't really successfully chosen.

The trailer with hydrocycles. Both the trailer, and hydrocycles turned out very successful. Hydrocycles - in general the awesome!

0_bbbd3_dee5584b_XL.jpg

0_bbbd4_82053ab2_XL.jpg

Result: the set turned out the weakest in category to US$20. The disproportionate jeep doesn't rescue even the excellent trailer. The only plus of a set are hydrocycles.

PS:Excuse for my bad English! :blush:

This is, seriously, a very nice product from Lego. Thanks for the very informative review. I may have to buy one of these for the modular city.

Wow! Very cool set and great review! I understood everything you said, and the photos were most helpful!

Another term for hydro cycles is jet ski, and they are quite popular in the U.S. These two look outstanding in design and choice of colors! The truck or jeep appears muscular with those huge wheels, which are popular among the off the road fanatics around here.

This set should do well in the U.S. Not sure about the rest of the world.

Thanks for your review and Happy New Year!

Looking at the pictures makes me wonder the SUV would look like dropped over those new wheels. Speaking of new wheels, can't wait to get my hands on them. Looks like they will be fun to play with.

In detail I told about new wheels in the review of 60053 Race Car.

There is a comparison of new wheels with old and examples of their use.
