“Nice selection of parts that are quite unusual. The crane boom, the winch and the robot arm style stability legs are nice. Could do with a control panel for the crane though. The crane boom neatly hooks onto the chassis at the front for ease of transporting.”

“This vintage Town set offers a robust build with a unique road-going crane featuring a rotating boom, stability legs, and a functional winch. The car's compact hatchback design and the crane's vibrant blue-and-yellow color scheme add to its charm.”
 

About Town Vehicles

Vehicles holds the cars and trucks of LEGO Town from 1980 to 1998, the everyday traffic of the town rather than its police or fire services. Delivery vans, tow trucks, tanker trucks, semi trucks, mobile cranes and family cars were all here, along with off-road jeeps and hot rods in the later years.

Vehicles consists of 44 sets that ran from 1980 to 1998. As of today, 6696 Fuel Tanker is the most valuable Vehicles set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,000.
