$29.99 for a truck, a trailer, a speedboat, a race scenario, and two minifigs — City rarely stacks a scene this completely at this price point.
Is the price fair?A+Three builds, two figs, one very fair price — City at its most efficient.
Will you love it?B-Solid play scenario right out of the box, no imagination required.
Holds its value?C-Retired City sets at this tier almost never appreciate — don't count on it.
The Full Take
The Race Boat Transporter is one of those sets where the whole package just clicks. You get a proper hauler rig, a flatbed trailer with tie-down detail, and a sleek race boat — three distinct builds in one box. Two minifigs is light on paper, but both are suited and purposeful, not filler. At $29.99 it sits in the sweet spot where City sets punch well above the shelf space they occupy. The build is approachable but not boring, and the boat actually looks good parked next to the truck on display. Where it stumbles is the long game — retired City vehicles in this range rarely move the needle for collectors, so the investment case is thin.
