Monster Truck (LEGO 60402)

About this set

This is the LEGO City Monster Truck (60402), a 148-piece vehicle set rated 2/5 for difficulty, so it sits at the easy end of the range. The build is a four-wheel monster truck with a blue body accented in black, gray and yellow, blue flame graphics on the sides, a front grille, a roof light, and one minifigure. Start with the chassis and the four big wheels, get the wheel mounts seated before building up the body, then finish with the roof light and grille, since those are the exposed details. With this part count the bags are simple and it can be done in one sitting. The oversized wheels carry most of the visual weight and the body stays compact, while the flame graphics keep it from looking plain. It suits newer LEGO City vehicle builders or anyone after a small monster truck for the shelf; at 2/5 it is friendly for kids and beginners.
