City Mechanic Reviews
Review for LEGO set 7642 Garage from BrickEconomy
“This LEGO set offers strong value with its considerable size, inclusion of multiple minifigures, and rare parts. The highlight is a highly detailed, albeit oversized, tow truck alongside a sporty van equipped for city transport and a well-appointed red truck cab. The set's... More garage is divided into an office boasting modern amenities, a workshop with functional equipment like a car lift and crane, and a truck garage featuring an innovative sliding door mechanism.”
About City Traffic
The Traffic minifigures are the ordinary working people and drivers of LEGO City. Mechanics, truck drivers, tow truck operators, recycling workers and road crews make up most of them, often in blue overalls or high-visibility vests, and many mechanics wear the logo of Octan, LEGO's own fuel brand. Around them come the drivers of sports cars, campers and monster trucks, families heading off on holiday, a farmer, a vet and the vendors of the food trucks, such as the Penguin Slushy Vendor. Small nods to LEGO history turn up in the printing, like jackets with the Classic Space logo. Most of these figures carry no name, only a job or an outfit.
