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 74.1 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 74.1 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 City Truck (2010) — The new 60440 is significantly larger (1061 vs 278 pieces) and more sophisticated with modern design language, representing major evolution in the City truck line

3221 LEGO City Truck — 60440 is longer, taller and wider than 3221. The curtain sider design provides more effective access to the cargo bay compared to the double yellow doors on 3221. However, 3221 was released in 2010 at a lower price point ($35 USD, equivalent to ~$50.45 in 2024 dollars), versus 60440 at $99.99. If unable to purchase 3221, this set will boost a LEGO City layout.

3221 LEGO City Truck (2010) — The 2024 version is a huge upgrade in nearly every department except price. It is much larger (278 pcs vs 1061 pcs), more complex, better detailed with modern techniques, and features much better shaping thanks to variety of new slopes. The 2024 version feels so much more substantial and well-built compared to the 2010 version with its relatively simple trailer. The printing of all decorations makes the 2024 version more future-proofed and premium, avoiding sticker degradation.

LEGO City Delivery Truck 2010 — The 2024 version is so Superior so much larger so much better designed so many more pieces so many more features so much more of absolutely everything you cannot compare

Value drivers

Jay's Brick Blog: The LEGO Designer minifigure with the six dots motif is a value driver as it is the first of its kind, featuring an internal LEGO Design Team symbol.

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: Originally appeared as full pallet-load sales at Costco USA (appears to be Costco exclusive or early release), though later released to broader LEGO.com retail.

Jay's Brick Blog: Initially available from LEGO.com and local toy stores starting June 1, 2024. Costco exclusive (US Costco had it for $74.99 and $84.99 at launch). Also available at Kmart in Australia.

Resale

Brickset Reviews: Early availability at Costco with immediate 20% discount ($75-79.99) and later discounts to $59.97 suggest moderate secondary market activity. Set sold out at LEGO.com relatively quickly.

Jay's Brick Blog: Not explicitly stated, but the fact that it sold out at launch and the rarity of LEGO-themed sets suggest potential for aftermarket value.
