Lifeguard Truck

"The Lifeguard Truck earns a BrickScore of 72 as a well-designed, feature-rich City vehicle with a satisfying beach aesthetic that both expert reviewers recommend while noting it is priced about $5 higher than it should be; 4.78 from 446 owners confirms the set delivers genuine enjoyment despite the value-for-money sting."

The Lifeguard Truck earns a BrickScore of 72 as a solidly designed City vehicle with appealing beach aesthetics, good play features, and a realistic proportions that both Brickset and JANG compared favorably to Californian lifeguard trucks, but both independently concluded the $24.99 price is around $5 too high relative to comparable 2025 City releases. Owner ratings are broadly positive at 4.78 out of 5 across 446 reviews, though the LEGO.com-specific would_recommend figure of just 29% is a notable anomaly that likely reflects LEGO.com's skewed sample rather than genuine dissatisfaction given how strongly the set performs on Amazon (4.8, 371 ratings) and Target (4.79, 15 ratings). An investment reviewer also flagged the set as overpriced at retail but highlighted a $15.99 sale price as a genuinely compelling entry point.

Where they split: The LEGO.com would_recommend figure of 29% stands in sharp contrast to the 4.78 overall owner average and the broadly positive Amazon and Target ratings. Both expert reviewers and the wider owner base are positive on the set itself; the pricing criticism is consistent but does not translate into rejection of the set overall.
