What reviewers are saying

"I really like this set."

The Brick Fan

"it's because it's it is ex extremely similar as a matter of fact it's just about a direct duplicate and recolor of the official uh the most recent official Lego truck"

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"I got this set for the stickers. I enjoy visiting Toys R Us, so naturally I want to build one for my own custom displays."

Ecosystem

3221 — The Toys R Us Truck shares similar build principles to the LEGO Truck (3221), with the primary difference being color scheme (white/blue with Toys R Us branding versus the original design).

Official LEGO Truck (yellow with LEGO logos) — It is extremely similar as a matter of fact it's just about a direct duplicate and recolor of the official uh the most recent official Lego truck the all yellow one with the Lego logos on it yep pretty much the same thing. This is the Toys R Us exclusive branded version.

Exclusivity

The Brick Fan: Toys R Us exclusive, limited availability since retirement in 2015.

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Toys R Us exclusive

Resale

The Brick Fan: Reviewer indicates steady availability and reasonable pricing on BrickLink and eBay, suggesting stable (not rapidly appreciating) aftermarket value.

True North Bricks: Strong secondary market retention with used kits averaging $90 and factory sealed averaging $165 on BrickLink. However, patient hunting can yield deals around original retail price ($50). The reviewer notes they found deals multiple times on marketplace-style websites.
