Recommendation: meh 4.62 / 5 from 21 reviews

This is a great product. It is a really good bargain as it has a good playability. The only problem with this is that there was no tow station with it. A Lego city Tow station is much appreciated in a new model.

Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5

This is a fun vehicle construction set that allows kids to build and then engage in imaginative play. Cool accessories and interactive parts add to the fun. It would also make a great addition to a LEGO City display.

Recommendation: meh 4.4 / 5 from 167 reviews

This is an awesome LEGO set. The tow truck is very detailed and has a lot of playability. The car in this set is pretty standard, so not too much excitement there.The back of the tow truck has a lever that allows the truck to slowly pick up the car to be towed and provides a neat level of precision with the playability. There is also some equipment on the back of the tow truck to help secure the scene and ensure the vehicle to be towed can be done safely and efficiently.The two minifigs that come with this LEGO set round out the overall feel of the set... the car driver is presented as dress-casual while the tow truck driver is appropriately attired for the job.There is a ton of room for imagination and creativity with this set and if you're looking for a nice complement to your LEGO city, then this set is a must have.Happy bricking.
