To me it feels a bit unnecessary, as a normal plate would have served the same purpose just as well without compromising stability. It’s built one one of those 8 x 16 “road” plates that are also regularly used in 4+ sets. The set comes with a small garbage collecting/ sorting station as you could find it in your neighborhood. I already have it in Dark Bluish Grey and Dark Orange and it’s always nice to add one more to the collection. The best part therefore is the little white kitten. The minifigures aren’t much to write home about with two “generic worker figures” and an equally generic other person. You may be able to get it cheap during e.g. If you’re not in a hurry your patience can pay off. Since I didn’t want to wait another two months for prices to drop I snatched up my package for 25 Euro and that’s okay, but overall this feels more like a 20 Euro offering.

So for the umpteenth time it’s up to the sellers to rectify this and give you a discount. The volume of stuff you get isn’t that great. Even the overview shot already tells you that the actual truck is relatively small and that aside from the garbage collection stand there isn’t much else in the box. The problem here isn’t even that I mind slightly above average prices when they’re justified, but apparently I think here they aren’t. This once more illustrates that LEGO have completely lost their marbles and just don’t seem to care. The set officially retails for 35 Euro, which is more than slightly ridiculous, given that it only consists of 261 pieces. That just happened with one of this year’s new releases, the Recycling Truck ( 60386), so it’s time to have a look at it. A lot of times it comes down to desirable animals or “rare” parts, but every now and then it’s also just that the models are done nicely and have an overall appeal.
#LEGO RECYCLING TRUCK SERIES#
LEGO City certainly isn’t my go-to series and I rarely ever buy stuff from that theme, but occasionally there are little gems hidden in it.
