LEGO 60345 City Farmers Market Van, Toy Farm Shop with Food Truck, Veggie Patch, 3 Minifigures & Bunny Figure, Gift for Boys & Girls age 5 Plus Years Old

Product Information

What’s in the box? – All kids need to build a mobile farm shop and veggie patch, with lots of play-inspiring features, plus 3 minifigures, including a LEGO City TV character, and a rabbit figure

Fun functions – The Farmers Market Van comes with a serving window, opening side doors, rear doors and a minifigure cab, while the veggie patch features a fun carrot-growing function The giant carrot on the top clearly signals what the van is selling but the drag it creates will surely increase fuel consumption, or perhaps reduce kilometres per kilowatt if it's an electric van. Perhaps an opportunity was missed to mark it as such, to further the set's 'green appeal'.

Verdict

The new dual-moulded corn piece, 1411 VEGETABLE, NO. 4, looks fantastic, although I believe the cereal grain is usually harvested before the yellow kernels become visible. A gift for all occasions – The Farmers Market Van playset can be given as a holiday, birthday or any-other-day gift for boys and girls aged 5 and up The section of field may be small and the crops not particularly realistic, but nevertheless it looks great and something we've not seen in a set before. The corn piece is a welcome addition to both foodstuff and plant elements.

Dimensions – When built, the LEGO City Farmers Market Van measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 10 in. (25 cm) long and 6.5 in. (17 cm) wide The window on the left side slides open enabling customers to be served. As usual, though, the hatch is a bit high compared to the height of a minifigure.The bright colours and pleasing design should also make it attractive to youngsters, too, and I suspect it's the sort of set that parents would choose to buy their kids rather than one focusing on conflict.
