Prediction Insights

A common City minifigure, the Recycling Worker is still in active circulation and uses standard safety-vest parts, and plentiful near-duplicates and remake risk limit upside despite steady theme-level demand and only mild supportive momentum.

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.
