“This set was particularly simple in design but yet the overall concept was very appealing when you are able to use the crew for imaginative scenario such as filming of movies or heading down to a news scene for reporting. The camera-man can be rotated freely on his seat to... More allow filming. If you are a Classic Town fan, then get it if you can find a good offer.”

“This TV Camera set is a charming vintage find, showcasing thoughtful design features like a swiveling seat and an adjustable arm. Despite its age, it includes functional details like opening doors and printed tiles that add to its appeal. The classic minifigures with retro details are a standout.”
