Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“For a City set, 60056 LEGO Tow Truck is a good investment as it has been outperforming the theme's average annual growth by 44% with an annual return of over 12% compared to the expected 7%. If you are a City collector you might want to consider picking this up.”

“There are some sets that, when you first seem them, you know you must have them ASAP. This was one such set for me. I'm a big fan of the 'Great Vehicles', as LEGO likes to call them, and this one did not disappoint.”

“If I must criticize this set for anything, it's that it is a bit oversized for a tow truck, but as I said above, it looks fine towing other trucks. This is an outstanding set. It's a great-looking model with a lot of functions, an attractive color scheme, and a minimum of... More stickers.”
