Could the product line target at 4-year-old kids can be of any interest for adults? Yes it can, if it provides some really interesting elements. 4 Juniors were a theme with sets constructed from big, juniorized pieces. Among them, however, one can find real treasures, like ones we feature today. First element are gas tanks, which apeared in only two sets, two pieces in each. Though not expensive, they are extremely rare.

Second element, or rather elements are bricks for building the tanker’s tank. Appeared in a single set only, a tanker, of course. These elements are now practically unavailable and the only way to get them is to purchase the whole set. .
Pierre Normandin, LEGO fan from Canada, used all featured elements to buils a milk truck:
Take a look how the yellow parts of a tanker-bricks are hidden.
Pierre used also tanks in this very nice model of the Octan truck
Steven Asbury built a very cool fireman’s tanker with chrome tank:
Anyone remembers other creations that use these chrome treasures? Let us know!
