Review: City 30313 Garbage Truck Polybag

[Vorkosigan]

Name: City 30313 Garbage Truck

Theme: LEGO System / City

Year: 2015

Pieces: 48

Minifigs: 1 minifigure

Price: USD $3.49

I picked up this new polybag in the Easter section at Target.

The parts.

Front end could use a bit more detail, but a nice little utility vehicle vehicle.

The extras, not much but the black arm is a nice piece.

Playability: 7/10

For a $3.49 set its not bad with the trash and shovel and cans to put them in.

Design: 8/10

Its a polybag, but the little mechanism for the cans is nice. Could use some sort of front fairing. In general this stood out to me more than some of the recent City polybags. Reminds me of a John Deere Gator type vehicle.

Price: 7/10

Average price per piece, nice printing on minifig but nothing new.

Minifigure: 6/10

Pretty typical blue collar worker type figure. Seems like a lot of these guys have facial hair in the LEGO world.

Parts: 7/10

The trash cans are moderately valuable, the arms with hooks are always useful, and the oldschool car base is not found in too many sets these days.

Total: 35/50

A pretty average set but would make a nice addition to a park scene. Will be watching to get a couple more cheap if they make it to 50% off the day after Easter.

Thanks for the little review, Vorkosigan. I think it is a nice little set, I am therefore happy, you took your time to take these pictures and make the review. I agree it could need a little extra in the front, maybe a mudguard above the wheels? I think it could make the vehicle more complete.

I agree, LT. My thoughts went directly to good, old 6607. I think the new garbage truck is a worthy successor for cleaning the city centre.

Though a mudguard piece might have pushed the price up or the lost of a garbage can ?

It probably would. I hope to get one of the garbage trucks and a mudguard, then I'll do a MOD

The minute I saw the first pics of this set, I liked it a lot. I think it's great lego does these little polybag-sets, because for a little money you often get quite a lot of play-value. This set is a nice addition to any city, with room for modding for those that want to and has some nice partts for modders that are not especially interested in the fnished vehicle.

I honestly like it - it's a nice little build with some cool pieces, too. I just wish I can find it around my area.

Ha I love it...soon as I saw that chassis and wee wheels, I was transported back to 'Classic Town'. Nice review, thanks for pulling it together!

I think this polybag is great. I thought I had missed out on it and was about to break the bank on eBay looking for one or two. Then trusty ole Target pulled through and has them out for Easter. I love the City theme polybags and this one ranks up there.

This new set takes me back to 6670 too!

The new set perfectly fits the old one so I'm going to buy it ...thanks fot the great review
