Synthesized Verdict

"With a 4.9 owner rating across 919 buyers and 97% recommending it, the LEGO Delivery Truck is one of the most universally liked City sets in recent memory. The BrickScore of 79.7 reflects an honest Recommended rating: excellent play features and a surprisingly low sticker count, held back only by a price that requires a fairly large outlay."

The LEGO Delivery Truck (60440) earned strong praise from buyers drawn in by its detailed cab, functional forklift, and the unusually generous use of printed tiles instead of stickers. Owner ratings are exceptional at 4.9 out of 5 across 919 ratings, with 97% of LEGO.com buyers recommending it. The BrickScore of 79.7 reflects solid performance across playability, build experience, and design, though critics note value-for-money is the set's weakest dimension at just a 55.7 consensus score.

Ecosystem

3221 LEGO-LKW (2010) — New version far surpasses predecessor in detail, quality, and visual impact despite only marginally longer/wider. Main improvements: printed parts vs stickers throughout; sleeper cab with accessible interior including bed and TV; opening hood; removable roof; simplified coupling; 24 palette-load representations vs older generic cargo. Cost-per-piece identical (10.6 cents). Old truck maintained 'in honor' but new version 'simply does not compare' in reviewer's eyes. New version's white side paneling prevents overwhelming yellow appearance. Reviewer notes 2010 version had no opening hood but did have sleeper cab. Paradoxically, 270-part predecessor could be similar size despite 1/4 price due to larger panel usage; new set uses more detailed construction throughout.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Ball-coupling element (3779)
Newly designed for this generation; simplifies attaching/detaching trailers compared to previous pin-based methods. Available at Pick-a-Brick but at inflated price (€2.45). Already used in 5 sets by time of review.
Curved slopes in yellow (5414, 5415 new; 80177, 80178 new in yellow)
New yellow wedges enable smooth rounded hood and roof design
Large 8×16 printed tiles (90498pb47, 90498pb48L, 90498pb48R) with LEGO logo motif
Four exclusive tiles featuring LEGO branding and aesthetic; printed rather than sticker (unusual for D2C sets). Extremely overpriced at Pick-a-Brick (€9.06 each, ~€36 total = one-third set MSRP) but available cheaper on BrickLink.
24 printed 1×1 or small tiles depicting LEGO City set boxes (60412, 60405, 60419, 60430)
Tiles represent boxes of Fire Rescue ATV (3068pb2476), Rescue Helicopter (3068pb2475), Police Island Prison (26603pb437), and Spaceship (3069pb1278). Allows realistic palette cargo display. Available individually at Pick-a-Brick but significantly cheaper on BrickLink.
Printed warning stripe tiles (3070pb361)
Rear 1×1 tiles with warning stripes newly released last year; good addition to rear bumper design
New thicker tires (5033), ten total
2024 redesign, appear to be slightly thicker/more realistic; reviewer expresses satisfaction with appearance
