Lego's pricing doesn't make sense any more. There's no reason this should cost more than $25USD.

[@Frank02189]

Especially when i see next year sets which the pricing is getting worse

[@BossBast1]

They are always making city 30% more in US for no reason. Also lego moved in the direction of nonsensical base price, so they can make set discounted, yet in reality it is still over the Old lego price. And people still pays this crap. If the stuff sells, than they can increase price until it won't...

[@Lordodragonss]

Lego city prices in US actually make TONS of sense. Havent you noticed most of these gets on sale VERY fast? Thats Marketing tactics.

[@fractalelf7760]

As a business you charge what the market can bear…. There’s your reason.

[@gasonfeist7238]

I thought it was $25 until this review... City is so disappointing nowadays. Friends is innovative and well priced.

[@kvn777]

As commented on brickset - I think this should’ve been octan themed. Would’ve made the set much more appealing than this generic one.

[@edoardom3677]

Updating set 4207 and putting those stickers here for me is gonna be the move

[@Gameprojordan]

Yeah but Octan is supposed to be oil/gas company, and Lego is trying to "go green" with their lego city sets

[@repapeti98]

They could've added two vertical bars with blue flame pieces representing jets of water that swing out of the way. I really like the sign with the bubbles, though.

[@thrillhouse4151]

This is the sorta thing I’d get for my niece’s town if it were like $15, but at $33 that’s a no-go. It’s weird that City is so expensive to me, I got two Creator 3-in-1s from like 5 years ago bundled for the same price and that was over 1000 pieces altogether.

[@christophstahl8169]

33 USD? Blimey! It sells for 14 Euros in germany in many stores and online. And at that price it is good value, even though there aren't particulary interesting pieces in it. As aways: lovely review Jang.

[@thorakvideos2495]

That price difference is just incredibly strange...

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I do like the brush parts. That car looks old school Lego in a good way

[@migatron1]

I love the soap bubble detail on the sign. I kinda wish that they added opening doors to the vehicle if they're opting for the classic build design.

[@johnnations5932]

Yes! Thank you. Was just going to add, why no opening doors, in yellow? That would MAKE this!

[@3Dsjk]

The price may have been justifiable if Lego added two or three more large windows on each side, so it was deep enough to fit a car completely inside. I know not every building needs to be completely enclosed like the expensive modular buildings, but shallow interiors on sets like this no longer cut it.

[@shqip_sumejja]

Luckily a good price here in Europe, I don't get why the US price is so much higher?

[@leetri]

Some sets are just way more expensive in either EU or NA for seemingly no reason. I'm sure they have a reason backed up by their statistics, but we can only guess.

[@DrNA142]

To be honest, it looks a little anemic to me. I think a full 16x16 road plate should've been the base of the build, and the build should've been at least 2 studs deeper, the side build should definitely have had a short studded rope with an grappling hook handle for whatever it's supposed to represent, and a few more accessories wouldn't hurt, like a trash can and shovel...... All in all, it's clearly lacking due to budget cuts, and sadly, i don't think it's fun enough as is.

[@shojan1942]

Thanks for the review. I had to get this for my city. In Walmart Canada they're now going for $49.99. I got mine on Amazon for $31.95 CDN. Happy Building!

[@bigsteamypeas]

In Australia the recommended pricing by LEGO is 35, but thank god for Kmart's pricing making all small sized city sets 22!

[@antraxxslingshots]

It is so sad they always skip the doors of cars :( Would it have been really that much more expensive for them to use those oldschool 3 (?) long doors on the side?

[@latinojackson9694]

The vehicle's windows are down for a car wash 0/10 😂

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Neat set, exactly the type of city set I remember enjoying together with my sister when we were kids. Bizarre pricing though, might be the largest regional difference I've seen proportionally

[@jkb2016]

The foam is the star here =D

[@FifthOfNovember_Original]

This feels very nostalgic to me. Like a tiny version of 6397 Gas'n'Wash Express from 1992!

[@Lordodragonss]

Love the Modularity! Really solid set!

[@warrennewman5325]

Nice set love the car wash bubbles great review

[@guleri]

This has been out in Europe for a while, so I have bought and built it for my city. Wht I dislike the most is that the side brushes was very static, but seems like you got them to flex a little more so maybe I just stuck the pins in to deep or something. lso it is like you say quite expensive for what you actually get. But I liked that it was so few stickers, and I am sure I can add it in to a MOC of a service station or something in the future.

[@sqrabbit1]

I hope set set prices in the US come down once the VA factory gets up and running.

[@Jalgarbricks]

Could you make this huge using multiple of these sets

[@lynchzchiller1416]

In the Netherlands we have a toy store that has a loyalty points card for Lego now, I have enough points to get this one for free or continue saving points to get the 3 in 1 castle

[@biggulp8448]

I was excited for a car wash but that pricetag scared me off

[@Sierra6491]

This is very reminisent of the 1255: Shell car wash. Not sure what the price was back then but I agree, definitely a bit steep for what you get.

[@Octaan_E31]

I've had this one in my store for €14,99

[@viperson9818]

That price is absurd. Either LEGO is having issues like shipping from the factory went up or they’re blatantly pricing out the US markets.

[@Otto1360]

2:49 yeah it is for air

[@Benjamin0119]

Gotta love car washes in LEGO form, or for die-cast cars. This one isn't bad, though I wish it were longer. True it doesn't have a water spray, but I'm not sure how that would've been done. 33 for that?! That should be more like $20-25. Yes, wait for a sale!

[@jonathantegnell9935]

I miss car doors

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

I bought a whole range of extra doors on Bricklink to upgrade any vehicle to minimum spec ;)

[@gregm963]

Every car wash I've been through you come out the front. If it was a bit nicer it might have a place amoung my modulars. The creator 3-1 buildings are all very nice, they're just smaller. This doesn't really scratch the itch for me.

[@siskavard]

Curious what the reasoning for the different prices in different regions

[@maggie198333]

$33？Insane

[@mikaxms]

Jang, it must be that two plate thick 8x16 studed road plate included in the set that's driving up the price ;-)

[@Zenlore6499]

Maybe Denmark has waterless carwashes? Lol This is an okay set, but it’s missing some weird things that shouldn’t be missing for subject of the set.

[@shynocru7783]

in Belgium this set cost 19.99 euros. How on earth is there a huge price difference between EU and NA?

[@AHYL88]

That's actually kinda funny how this super tiny car can seat two figures while a lot of other massively larger and super extravagant vehicles from other themes can only seat one, or no more than two. What a weird US price, $33, and definitely too high; crazy how much lower it is in Europe and UK.

[@fractalelf7760]

LEGO seems to be slowly realizing you can cram quite a few minifigs in small places if you just design up front for it.

[@kasperbuyens3562]

Still waiting to see some of those massive discounts in my area

[@thelegobro5333]

Great set but realistically has about 250 pcs and 2 figs. 20 dollars. 25 max

[@oldchannel262]

thats nice

[@BossBast1]

Such a great chance to get green car roof. But no, yellow again.

[@MrEoin1986]

I got my set for €20 in fact I got 2 of them to combine them together

[@johnnations5932]

Wait ..why no opening doors?

[@viniciusferreira6180]

Here in Brazil this lego is 329.00 R$ reais

[@lord_aqua]

Psych fans rejoice for the pineapple torso!

[@15Med3]

love the idea....hate the price

[@Monacomaverick]

Seems pretty lackluster to me, and I love vehicle related sets.

[@betulaobscura]

I think too many commenting people got used to cheap, overseas labour of mass produced low quality items. LEGO is one of companies who offer high quality products, pays well their employees and offers them proper working conditions. Plus: many more other aspects like environmental, social etc. That's why final prices of their products are appropriate to their philosophy. Take it or leave it.

[@thebluereptile8352]

😮

[@kirboioproductions74398]

What happened to this being $25.00

[@AndreBaguette]

This looks like the kinda set they would price for $50

[@duartevilelas9688]

Do you think the sellers sometimes releases the products overpriced, so they can later change to the real price and call it a "sale"? 🤔

[@spacejesus570]

I know guys that would wear that pineapple shirt.

[@JANGsLEGOreviews]

Absolutely! Exactly why I wish they'd have made it gender-neutral instead of adding all the unneeded shape lines.

[@BrickHQ]

Great set but bad price

[@frostedbutts4340]

Wow, this is only $22 Australian from day one. Certainly not worth nearly twice that!

[@raiden1425]

perfectly acceptable for 18 quid, but i would not pay 32 bucks for this

[@joseescobedo7899]

33$ is way to much for this

[@EntretuGaming]

The vehicle is so weird

[@legomattie3295]

33 dollars, that is an insult. Ok for me 20 euro's, but this difference is absurd. Not a bad set though.

[@Brick-Life]

A great concept but overpriced and not done that well. The car is good as its a classic normal style of car but needs normal suspension! Its not a monster truck. The car was design is very odd

[@gbpackers5578]

This set feels very tired and uninspired 👎

[@kacper_black5704]

this is ugly and unrealistic
