Karl,
I don't know about the barcode set, but I have both of the other ones. If
you need gears, go for the shuttle, if you can still get it. It's got loads
of them. And some motors, a gearbox, lots of axles (black and white). Build
it at least once, it's got some nifty construction ideas.
The tow truck is an ok model, but not much gears. It does have pneumatics
though (3 cylinders, 2 air tanks and 3 valves and a (hand-)compressor) and a
lot of blue beams. Nice wheels too.
Both models have a large turntable, which is a very useful part.
Have fun,
Arjen
