Recommendation: no 7 / 10 by Piranha

LEGO has once again made another Street Sweeper. I am grateful to have one after all it did take 10 years to get another. However it was quite high prices for everything you get. Possible improvements could have been a tree and a civilian fig that is sitting on a bench littering.
