Weapons & Accessories:
The Red Rocket Truck Stop include many builds and easter eggs from the Fallout game.

The weapons workbench is used to repair and upgrade player's weapons. It can be used with the power armor station to mount weapons to the armor and change weapon modes.
Wasteland Survival Guides
In Fallout 4 there are nine Wasteland Survival Guides. Each issue improves an aspect of the game for the player. Issue 4, "The Scrapyard Home Décor Guide", unlocks flamingo decorations for your settlement. This simply allows the player to place decorative pink flamingoes anywhere in your settlement. (Don’t over think it). Mega included this easter egg with the weapons workbench because in-game a player needs both the workbench and issue 4 to start planting flamingoes in your settlement. (see pictures 3 and 4 above)
Another easter egg in this build is the Vault Boy Bobblehead. There are 20 Vault Boy bobblehead figures in Fallout 4. Each bobblehead increase an aspect of the game for the player. Mega included the Charisma Bobblehead in this set. In game this increases the player's charisma bye "1" point. This means characters in game are more likely to agree with player and do what he wants. It is easier to convince character to join your cause or get a better deal when making a trade.
"Nothing says pizzazz like a winning smile."
In the Fallout universe there are several ways to beautify your settlement. One way is with posters. When decorating your settlement you have the option to pick a "less tattered" or "more tattered" version of the poster. Mega has duplicated this feature by letting you pick which version of the poster you place in your Red Rocket set.
Most posters are just in-game advertisement for companies in the game. The first poster, "Surface Never, Vault Forever" is an advertisement for Vault Tech's vaults featuring Vault Boy. The second poster, "You're Good to Go", features The Red Rocket Collectron AKA "Collectron". This one is an advertisement for, you guessed it, Red Rocket!
The Nuka-Cola was formed in 2044, and quickly became the drink of choice across America. So it is no surprise that Nuka Cola has huge presences in this set with three different easter eggs. The first is the Nuka Cola drink machine located on the far right side of the set. Inside the machine's dispenser is a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quantum. This drink is know for its blue color and containing an isotope safe for human consumption. And last, but by no means least, is the flagship drink of the Nuka-Cola Cooperation, Nuka-Cola!!! This somewhat addictive drink contains 120% of the daily recommended amount of sugar. But it taste great! So grab yourself a bottle and drink up.
The Red Rocket Corporation gets another nod from Mega on the inside left panel of the box. The right inside panel is an advertisement for the Red Rocket Truck Stop in the Fallout motif.
