Description

Everyday town life

Alongside fire engines and police cars, refuse lorries are among the vehicles you see in every town, which is why this model fits so well into a City layout. It shows an ordinary working day: emptying bins, collecting material and moving on. At 297 pieces it is a mid-sized set, offering more detail than a tiny vehicle, yet it comes together quickly and needs no previous experience to finish. The familiar subject also helps younger builders invent their own stories.

Black, white and grey

The colour choice is sober: black, white, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey. That makes the vehicle look like a proper utility truck rather than a toy. With 96 different part types among 297 pieces, you get a decent range of specialist elements, for example for the rear body, the compactor and the cab. The neutral colours also make the truck a flexible source of parts for other vehicles. That helps with sorting and means rebuilds rarely need extra colours.

Crew and play options

Three minifigures are included, so several people can take part in the job, from the driver to the worker at the back. You can set out bins, plan a route through town or simply display the lorry next to your other models. If you like to keep a collection in order, the parts list on this page helps you check what you have and see which elements might be missing from your copy.

What else you can build

Most of the parts are universal, so the rebuilding options are worth a look. Wheels, cab and panels suit delivery vans, transporters or small lorries. With the “What can I build?” tool you can check which other sets your collection could produce. That is especially worthwhile if you already own several City sets and are looking for new ideas without having to buy more straight away. This saves money and makes one vehicle the starting point for several new models.
