Classic Town Review: 6481 CONSTRUCTION CREW by Plate Hi all! Searching in the forum I realised that this set needed a review. This a set from my childhood, i played a lot with, and as I'm cleaning up and restoring all my classic old sets, decided to do this little review. I have no instruction booklet either box, they were lost :-(. So…lets go! SET NUMBER: 6481 NAME: Construction Crew THEME: Town SUBTHEME: Construction YEAR RELEASED: 1989 PIECES: 169 MINIFIGURES: 2 PACKAGING: Box EXTRAS: 9V lights elements Brickset: http://brickset.com/...nstruction-Crew PIECES The set has 169 pieces: Here you can see the hinge black pieces that allows the excavator to change direction( steering). Once i did the picture i realized that I forget the electric cable and some elements (turnable and some working tools): A nice bunch of tools! All parts are printed, no stickers (hurrah!!) MINIFIGURES 2 mini figures are included in the set: an excavator driver and a worker. The front torso of the driver has a classic town worker print and the front of the worker as a nice speedway symbol on it.Backs are not printed. These are road workers as you can guess. Classic air and red cap and classic minifig faces. CONSTRUCTION Easy step construction, as i mentioned, i don't have the original booklet, but i found the instructions here: http://lego.brickins...nstruction_Crew By clicking in the link you can see not only the instructions, but the features of the 9V light system. We start with the excavator: Finished model: Front and back views: Next we build the trailer: The electric cable goes under the battery box: Finished trailer: You can put some of the tools on the top of the trailer. And…finished model, trees and road plate are not included in the set. FEATURES The playability of this set is awesome! You can attach the trailer to the excavator or put it apart. Both the excavator and the trailer have directional features (steering), and both can turn. The trailer has a lot of tools including a pneumatic hammer. It has the light system, that can be combined, so you can take out the lights from the fences and put in the light bulbs. There are 3 light bulbs in the set. If you turn this piece you can change the feature from blinking to fixed light. The on-off feature works by pushing the grey piece on the battery box. RATING Build:9/10 Its an easy build with a little SNOT. Design:10/10 Price: I don't remember, but sure my parents paid it! Playability:10/10 Minifigures: 10/10 Parts:10/10 OVERALL: 100% Okay, i can't be objective here. Its a set with which I played a lot. If you have it, you know what I'm speaking of.Very very nice set.
