Brilliant Lego set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just finished building the LEGO Heavy Duty Recovery Tow Truck with Crane, and I’m seriously impressed. The wheels roll smoothly and are rugged enough to handle carpet or tile without slipping. This set has real weight to it, it feels durable and substantial, not flimsy like some others. The moving parts are brilliant and the crane rotates and extends with satisfying precision, the hook lifts and lowers easily, and the tow arm actually functions. I appreciate the safety thinking in the design there is no sharp edges, well-balanced so it doesn’t tip when you’re playing with the crane extended. For value, it delivers; lots of clever engineering packed into a mid-size build, and it looks great on display or in play. If you love mechanical detail and sturdy performance, this tow truck is worth it.

Great set
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great Lego set for all ages. My husband and son enjoyed building this together. It wasn’t too fiddly and the instructions were easy to follow. My son is enjoying playing with it and the towing function of it. It feels sturdy and not like it will fall apart when played with.

My son loved building this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a larger boxed Lego from the Lego City range. Suitable for ages 8+ but would definitely appeal to all ages. Good build not too challenging but takes a nice amount of time to build. Love the recyclable packaging the bricks come in nowadays. The set builds into a working tow truck and additional tipper truck which can be attached and towed. Comes with two mini figures, and some traffic cones and signs. All in all a very nice build which has lots of playability afterwards. Great set for any mini builder.

Hours of fun to build and play
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kid is obsessed with Lego and it always give hours of fun of building and collecting his favourite pieces. Good thing is instructions are clear and easy to follow so my kid could build it himself with a little help. Material quality is great and finished tow truck with crane actually works really well, my son is using this crane to do a lot more stuff with his other cars as well so I am expecting it will come in handy a lot more with other play times. It doesn’t weigh too much just a normal amount for kids to carry and play.

A massive hit for anyone who loves lego!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually gave this to my 8 year old for Christmas as a gift because he absolutely loves lego and anything he can put his mind to! He disappeared Christmas morning straight away to put this together and was finished Boxing Day. He worked completely on his own (we did offer to help but he didn't want us) and completed it perfectly - he was so proud of himself! Right now it's still in his room and he's used the towing strings to tow other lego cars he's made.
