LEGO Model Team Giant Truck (5571) (LEGO, 1996)....

Description

LEGO Model Team Giant Truck (5571) (LEGO, 1996). A titan of the late Technic-adjacent Model Team line, the Giant Truck stands as one of LEGO's most impressive large-scale vehicle builds of the 1990s. Released in 1996 and composed of more than 1,700 pieces, this massive American-style semi delivered an unprecedented blend of realism and engineering detail, from its functional steering and articulated cab to its chrome accents and meticulously modeled engine. Its size, complexity, and display presence made it an instant classic, long regarded as a pinnacle achievement of the Model Team era. The box shows heavy edge wear with scuffing and dents, moderate corner wear, and heavy surface wear, including creasing, staining, veining, and small tears. The tape on the inner cover has lifted, leaving tape residue and the box open. The contents appear unused, with all bagged items still sealed in their original factory bags. The interior windows show mild scuffing as well. A landmark in LEGO's pursuit of authenticity and scale, the Giant Truck remains one of the most sought-after display models of its decade. Collectors prize it for its craftsmanship, its commanding silhouette, and the sense of mechanical artistry that defined LEGO's Model Team ambitions at their peak - a true heavyweight of the classic building era.
