camberry234 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 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! DSCF1995 by camberry234, on Flickr Basic Information Item: 60051 Pieces: 95 Ages: 5-12 Minifigures: 1 Year Released: 2014 Price: £7.99/€9.99 Theme: City (Great Vehicles) The Review The contents of the box DSCF1996 by camberry234, on Flickr Pieces of interest DSCF1998 by camberry234, on Flickr The instructions DSCF1999 by camberry234, on Flickr 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 DSCF2001 by camberry234, on Flickr The Build The build at step 12 DSCF2003 by camberry234, on Flickr The build at step 24 DSCF2005 by camberry234, on Flickr The Finished Product DSCF2007 by camberry234, on Flickr The Minifigure DSCF2011 by camberry234, on Flickr This a plain standard city workman, no leg printing and a very nice head print DSCF2012 by camberry234, on Flickr No back printing on this figure The Lamppost DSCF2013 by camberry234, on Flickr The lamppost is a pretty standard lamppost with an interesting traffic light combo The Vehicle DSCF2014 by camberry234, on Flickr 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 DSCF2021 by camberry234, on Flickr DSCF2015 by camberry234, on Flickr 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. DSCF2016 by camberry234, on Flickr This side shows the ugly visible Technic pins , at least they could have changed the blue pin for a black one DSCF2019 by camberry234, on Flickr Here is the cherry picker fully extended DSCF2022 by camberry234, on Flickr DSCF2023 by camberry234, on Flickr Our little guy may have to stretch to reach the blown light bulb The Complete Set DSCF2026 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! Quote
Jern92 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 The minifig looks like Walter White. Tempted to get this set just for him. Quote
wondermonkey Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 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. Quote
