About this deal
Carrots are also being grown, and an almost-hidden play feature transforms them from small plant to a full-grown root vegetable, which mysteriously is growing above the ground! Fun functions – The Farmers Market Van comes with a serving window, opening side doors, rear doors and a minifigure cab, while the veggie patch features a fun carrot-growing function Designed for young LEGO fans – Includes an easy-to-follow pictorial printed building guide for each toy Fun accessories – LEGO minifigure accessories include a toy watering can, shovel, hay fork, barrel, carrots, pumpkins, sweet corn, grapes, jalapeños and apples
It's great to see the City theme yielding something other than emergency services, construction or fast cars: simply ordinary folk going about their daily business and I hope that we see more like it in the future. The giant carrot on the top clearly signals what the van is selling but the drag it creates will surely increase fuel consumption, or perhaps reduce kilometres per kilowatt if it's an electric van. Perhaps an opportunity was missed to mark it as such, to further the set's 'green appeal'. What’s in the box? – All kids need to build a mobile farm shop and veggie patch, with lots of play-inspiring features, plus 3 minifigures, including a LEGO City TV character, and a rabbit figure

The window on the left side slides open enabling customers to be served. As usual, though, the hatch is a bit high compared to the height of a minifigure.
Exactly, this is the kind of thing I would buy for a child (like the recent City ice cream van 60253 too or the tractor 60287). The healthy food aspect will have an appeal to parents too. And it's colourful, and not trying to appeal just to one gender (as I fear some of the more conflict based sets are). Premium-quality toys – All LEGO components meet strict industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and fun to build with: it’s been that way since 1958
Summary
The vehicle, resplendent in orange and green livery, matches the style and size of previous great vehicles in the City range. it's the sort of set that parents would choose to buy their kids rather than one focusing on conflict."
