### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really fun build, but I got it last year for $100 less.
*by J***R on April 20, 2024*

I got this tow truck last fall, was a really fun build. I built slowly to really enjoy it and put it together over about 3 weeks. I got it when it was $155.00, not sure I would but it for $267 tho. For the money, I would probably go with the lego tree house.
