Description

A truck built to actually work

This isn't just a static model — the crane arm moves and the flatbed is sized to carry another City vehicle for towing. Small details such as warning lights, side mirrors and an open cab add realism for a set of this size. The light grey and white paintwork with green stripes echoes real-world breakdown services and slots naturally alongside other road vehicles from the City range. Even the flatbed grille and small tool details on the rear reward a closer look. For a set of around 200 pieces, the level of function feels unusually well thought out.

Two minifigures for roadside scenes

The 209 pieces include two minifigures who can be set up as a recovery team, or as a driver and a stranded motorist. That makes the set useful for small role-play scenes, from a broken-down car on the roadside to a garage visit. Owners of a City street or petrol station can add the tow truck straight in as a service vehicle without needing anything else. The figures come with their own tool accessories, so roadside repair scenes can be played out without buying additional pieces.

92 parts for vehicle building

With 92 unique elements, the set offers a decent base of vehicle parts — wheels, windows, crane mechanics and body panels that also work well in custom builds. The green and light grey body panels are particularly useful for anyone assembling their own civilian City-style vehicles. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which colours and shapes are included before you go looking for individual pieces.

Who the set suits

The Pickup Tow Truck is a compact set for anyone wanting to add a working service vehicle to a City collection without spending much time or space on it. It suits newer builders as a manageable first vehicle build, and collectors after small, realistic everyday vehicles rather than a large scene. It works equally well on its own or as an addition to a bigger street layout.
