The LEGO Car Blog

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by The LEGO Car Blog Team

As with all LEGO's past flagship sets the Barcode Truck likely commands a high premium on eBay now. However, we think this set is hugely underrated when compared to others of the era. As a display piece it does the job as well as many of LEGO's supercars, but using 8479 for this purpose alone would be a great shame. It's easily as fun, and almost as capable, as a modern LEGO Mindstorms set, and because it requires no computer software the programming hasn't dated at all – and there's no need to find a Windows 95 PC to make it work.
