Recommendation: meh 4.4 / 5 from 28 reviews

It is difficult to single out one LEGO set from the rest because the manufactured quality, effort, imagination and creativity are recognized in every single set, with no difference. In my opinion you cannot make a mistake, whichever you choose. I started bying LEGO sets long time ago and still, after all these years, I see that they preserved all the trademarks of their products and plus added some improvements over time. A job well done!

Recommendation: meh 39 / 50 by Luke McAwesome

A typical City set, and a great idea at that. Every town needs a maintenance truck or two. And when those street lights go out, who ya gonna call? [...] John Doe! If it's parts you're looking for, it's okay, it has cabinets, transparent parts, yellow, and vehicle parts. And doors! And a green trash can! Don't you just love those doors? And tools! And can't forget those doors! Did I mention I love doors?

Recommendation: no 39 / 60 by Rumble Strike

A set that does what it's supposed to do, hence the very reasonable score here. This set is certainly a worthwhile addition to your City streets, but only if you have had your fill of the more exciting sets out there.
