What a rip off! it cost $64 but the size of the box is like those $20 legos. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Choose a better and bigger option for the same price

Well it's a nice little tow truck. It's a bit bigger (Okay a lot) than the ones I've had in the past but it is what it is, a tow truck. I might have preferred a different color (Like red) but the orange is growing on me. I think the price is fair, I wouldn't have paid 20 for this set though.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
