Insights

Released in 1998 and retired, River Response (6451) ties into the Town ResQ subtheme with specific minifigure prints that appeal to completist collectors, and sealed scarcity from its smaller production run supports continued collector interest while demand remains concentrated rather than broad.

Set Facts
