Six minifigs in a $60 City set is a flex — Central Airport packs a full terminal crew without asking you to break the bank for it.
Central Airport lands an A- by doing the fundamentals right: a reasonable footprint, a working gate and control tower setup, and enough going on that it doesn't feel hollow on the shelf. Six minifigs for $60 is a genuinely good haul for a City set, and the variety — pilot, ground crew, passengers — sells the airport fantasy better than a lone figure ever could. The build itself won't challenge experienced builders, but it moves through distinct modules that keep it from feeling like one long slog. Display-wise it reads as a complete scene rather than a prop, which is more than most mid-tier City sets manage. Where it stumbles is resale: this one flatlines after retirement and shows no signs of reversing course. Buy it for the shelf or the play table, not the portfolio.
