LEGO® Truck with Trailer (without Stickers)

Description

The sticker-free version

This set is the version of truck 685-1 without stickers. The catalogue lists it under its own number, and it contains one piece fewer. Anyone who keeps a range neatly sorted will want to hold the two versions apart. For play the difference hardly matters: without decals the rig looks plainer, but it drives just the same and can be used in the same way. For collectors the variant is mostly a matter of completing the series.

Yellow, black, blue

As with its sister model, yellow, black and blue set the look, with transparent parts for the windows. Only 16 different parts among the 50 pieces make this a very tidy set. Almost every shape appears more than once, which makes rebuilding from mixed stock straightforward. On the parts list on this page you will find every piece in order, so anything missing can be spotted quickly and replaced precisely, which is handy if you are collecting the set from a mixed lot.

A rig for playing

Cab and trailer can be used separately. The cab drives on its own, the trailer can be loaded up and later hitched to a different lorry. The small number of parts is an advantage here, as the construction stays sturdy and easy to follow. Younger children can also copy the model, as long as they lay out the bricks in the right order and work through the steps one after another. With a little help, the build is manageable in a single afternoon, even without experience.

Making more from the parts

With “What can I build?” you can check which other models your stock allows. The clear basic shapes of the lorry are easy to alter: a longer trailer, a different cab or a body with its own cargo. Since the parts match current bricks, you can mix old with new. Anyone owning both versions of this set even has enough material to put together a second vehicle, perhaps a trailer with a different body and loading bed of its own.
