Review: 60059 Logging Truck

[LukefromNJ]

This review is for the set 60059:

You get 2 bags, 1 very small sticker sheet, and 1 manual:

In common with other 2014 trucks, the Minifigs and truck chassis are in one bag, the wheels and truck body in another:

Contents of bag 1:

Minifigs from bag 1, both come with an appropriately lumberjack-like appearance (the figure on the left has the kind of facial hair that would also fit in well with a Medieval or Victorian era set):

Fire Chief: Nice to see a familiar face!

Lumberjack (center): This is coming back in style, I swear!

Lumberjack (right): WHAAAAT?

Chainsaw: WHHIRRRRRRR!!!!

If you've read my other reviews, you know I much prefer brickbuilt to stickerbuilt grilles, and this set does not disappoint. The protective structure on the cab roof is quite nice as well:

The crane on the back is particularly well done, with many points of articulation for a variety of poses:

In my opinion, this is a superb set. The only complaint I have is that you cannot "fold" the crane for travel, as is often seen on trucks with this kind of crane, but other than that this set is great. 9.5/10

Also, this set nicely complements the lumberjacks and equipment from last year's 60021 Heliplane:

Thanks for the review! I've been thinking about picking up this set, but I have so many trucks at this point that I probably don't need another. At least it isn't a fire or police set, though.

The truck at the side looks too messy. Beacuse Its EXCLUSIVE(!) to Tesco for the UK, I'll pass.

Thanks for the review! I do not own many trucks, and this one sure is grabbing my attention. Perhaps I`ll pick it up.
