“This is a great addition to any LEGO City for sure. We get lot's of stuff like a black motorcycle, a yellow vintage car and a vintage car in black and red. The garage is very cool as well. The yellow car has an engine which swivels and the doors on each side and the ceiling... More on the top opens very easily, too.”

“The Hot Rod Club set from 1994 delivers a fantastic mix of classic vehicles and a functional speed shop. It includes two distinctive hot rods with unique design details like chrome side pipes and a V-shaped engine, along with a fully-equipped garage featuring tools, a floor jack, and even a beverage cooler for added play value. Three minifigures, each with a vintage style, round out this set.”
