“This is a welcome addition to my LEGO city, as it's unique. All you really get is a mini-fig, a dumpster, a trash can, and a wheelbarrow, but that's all you need! It's yet another thing that any real city would have and it can fit almost any City set by simply placing the... More dumpster along side it or around back. I highly recommend this set to any collector that builds their own LEGO city.”
