current LEGO fire truck looks
very much like a.... like a..... like a..... well, not like a fire truck. :)
|
its an air-port fire truck
it doesnt have to have ladder
|
Very true. Yes, I knew it was an ARFF, but I guess I figured that since this
was LEGOs first foray into that particular sub-genre of fire/rescue vehicles,
that they might stick to something a little more traditional looking:

but in fact what to release fire-truck for if it is not a fire-truck what
everyone is expected :))
|
I apologize, I am not sure what you mean by this statement.
|
|
|
models should be good looking AND good working
they sould be interesting and entertaining
and what fulfill it?
supercars, back hoes, bulldozers etc
|
Fire trucks are interesting and entertaining too!
|
sure but regular FT
with ladder and maybe with the trailer :)))
|
I think all fire/rescue vehicles are exciting. from traditional hook and
ladder trucks or pumpers to rescue squads, and certainly airport vehicles.

Maybe it would have been better to not release the LEGO fire truck this
year. Maybe it needed to go back to the drawing board for a while. Maybe it
needed a complete redesign before being released.
|
it was done
first showed version was olive green
|
Oh I remember that well. Although some argued that it was the latest/greatest
lime yellow color intended to draw better attention to the vehicle.
My comment above, about going back to the drawing board, was meant to suggest
that perhaps this model could have been a little less slick and modern and a
little more traditional, as shown above. If some of the newer trucks do look
like this (and I dont think any of them look quite so much like race cars)
thats fine. But for a company already struggling with sales figures over the
last 5 years I think a more well-known design would have been the better route
to go.
