Yes, please do. And your yellow <set:2148> and red/black <set:3443>

more like what you did in <set:4549>.
And make the trailers 6 wide and appropriately tall so we can kill off the 4
wide containers! :-) You don't have to be a J2 to realise they are too puny.

Get these sets placed in truckstops and you've got a winner... maybe. (a
trucker who pays 700 bucks ++ for a pair of new tires should theoretically

| Dear Lego, Please look at producing a series of minifig scale semi-tractor/trailer trucks (in the USA these are commonly referred to as 18-wheelers). Make them is various color shades.
