Tow Truck Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Tow Truck has been a particularly good investment for City collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 11.0% per year. However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most. When compared to the vast majority of set in the City theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“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.”
