​Lego City has many street lights that must be well maintained but what happens when a bulb blows? Call in the new light repair truck to fix it!

​The instructions

Random instructions page

The instructions have the same light bluish sky colour that is used in all of the city sets, the colours were easily distinguishable

The Minifigure

This a plain standard city workman, no leg printing and a very nice head print

13653526223_a1495cf802_c.jpgDSCF2012 by camberry234, on Flickr

No back printing on this figure

​The Lamppost

The lamppost is a pretty standard lamppost with an interesting traffic light combo

The Vehicle

The truck has two clips to attach equipment, this set includes a wrench and a hammer. There are two small cones included to put beside the truck while the man is fixing the blown bulb. There is also a nice little light bar on top of the roof

The front view of the vehicle shows how much the tires stick out, a lot of city vehicles suffer from this problem. Another thing that bugs me is the stickered bonnet, I think that is an unnecessary sticker as the detail could have been done with bricks. :sceptic:

This side shows the ugly visible Technic pins :thumbdown: , at least they could have changed the blue pin for a black one

Here is the cherry picker fully extended

Our little guy may have to stretch to reach the blown light bulb :laugh:

The Complete Set

13653780674_b6fda7969e_c.jpgDSCF2026 by camberry234, on Flickr

Totals

Design: 8/10 I like the design of the truck because it looks like something that could work in real life, although it is smaller than the previous light repair truck I prefer it. The only thing that bugs me about the design is the Technic pins

Parts: 9/10 I like the parts selection especially the orange parts

Build: 9/10 The build was very simple, then again it is designed for children aged 5-12

Minifig: 7/10 I think this set could had another minifig e.g.; a citizen to ring the the light fixer guy maybe? The figure you get is also a bit bland

Playability: 10/10 This set is great for playability because you get a truck with a movable cherry picker and something to fix!

Price: 8/10 With 10 cents per part I think this is a good price for this set:

Total: 51/60 I think this a great set to get a child, but so much for MOCers, this set does not include many parts most of which are specialized. If you want a lot of orange I recommend this set!

The minifig looks like Walter White. Tempted to get this set just for him.

OMG! You're right! I built it and threw him in my minifig bin. Time to go find Mr. White.
