LEGO City 60478 Cement Mixer ReviewReading Time: 2 minutes

This is my rambling LEGO review of the LEGO City 60478 Cement Mixer.

LEGO City 60409 Mobile Construction Crane review!

July 6, 2024 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

LEGO City Mobile Construction Crane Review 60409Reading Time: < 1 minute

This is my unbiased review of the LEGO City Mobile Construction Crane set 60409. At $180AUD and 1116 pieces, it’s not cheap. But does it deliver value and is this a renaissance of the LEGO Construction line? And one important question… Should it have been bigger?
