Insights

Released in 1998 and now retired, Construction Crew includes discontinued 9V Light & Sound components that limit sealed supply and draw nostalgia from Classic Town collectors, and while recurring modern construction sets blunt its uniqueness, sealed examples have tracked solid long-term appreciation.

Set Facts

It is also called "Road Works With Warning Lights" and feature the 9V light system with multiple lights..
The set features a 9V light system and the truck's trailer houses the yellow electric 9V Battery Box. The road signs and strips of lights can be attached to the 9V connectors, allowing them to light up. There are 3 light bulbs in the set. If you turn this piece you can change the feature from blinking to fixed light. The on-off feature works by pushing the grey piece on the battery box.
Construction Crew was designed by LEGO designer Torben Plagborg.

“The playability of this set is awesome! You can attach the trailer to the excavator or put it apart. Both the excavator and the trailer have directional features (steering), and both can turn. The trailer has a lot of tools including a pneumatic hammer. It has the light... More system, that can be combined, so you can take out the lights from the fences and put in the light bulbs.”

BrickEconomy Member Review

“This vintage LEGO set brings the construction theme to life with a front loader, trailer, and a variety of tools and accessories. The highlight is the functional light brick, which adds an interactive element to the set. With its classic yellow battery box and roadwork signs, it’s a nostalgic nod to LEGO’s light and sound era.”
