"Very wholesome, good addition to any town to provide some services that aren't your typical fire and police stuff."

JANG's LEGO Reviews

Ecosystem

3179 — The yellow color scheme is consistent with the newer 3179 repair vehicle, but the classic 6521 maintains superior design coherence and more playable features like opening roof and doors.

Modern CITY vehicles — The opening roof and doors are distinctly lacking in most modern CITY vehicles, making the 6521 superior in playability for its size.
