Exclusivity

The Earl of Bricks: LEGO City retail (wide retail availability)

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Includes exclusive torso print and recolored crystal pieces

Resale

The Earl of Bricks: Inventory value of specialized parts (griddle, cooking utensils) provides secondary market value for parts-out purposes.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Construction Worker - Female, Reddish Orange Safety Jacket with Reflective Stripes, Dark Bluish Gray Legs with Knee Pads, Black Hair Braided with Knot Bun

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Hinged service window panel
Demonstrates efficient hinge mechanism that allows the model to shift between two functional modes (travel vs. serving) through a single moving element.
Food accessory elements (fries, drink cups, food items)
LEGO food elements are increasingly detailed and recognizable; these are expensive to acquire individually on secondary market due to small size and high demand. Useful across many City contexts.
Trans-orange and trans-yellow window elements
Appear in limited quantities across City sets, making this truck a reliable source for builders creating custom fast-casual establishments or signage.
Griddle piece and cooking utensil molds
Specialized elements useful for foodie MOCs beyond standard restaurant builds.
Decorative printed tiles or stickers
Create commercial signage demonstrating fundamental technique for applying decorative elements to flat surfaces for storefront identity.
Fryer elements and counter tiles
Kitchen accessories that elevate City builds from acceptable to charming and enable spontaneous kitchen builds.
