Four minifigs in a scrapyard set that scores near-perfect on minifig value — the people make this place feel lived-in, not just stacked junk.
The parts alone are worth about 167% of the street price — the basis for this D+ price read.
BargainThe parts alone are worth more than you pay — $114 of parts for $68.
The scrapyard concept has been done, but LEGO®'s 2025 take brings enough moving parts and working-class City grit to feel like a scene rather than a pile of bricks. Four minifigs is a strong showing for this price tier, and they do real work making the whole thing feel populated. The build itself delivers a solid B — interesting enough to keep you engaged, not so clever it feels like a masterclass. Where the set stumbles is the price tag: $79.99 for 877 pieces in a City theme is a tough sell when comparable sets offer more. The flip side is that display collectors and parents will both find enough here to justify it. It won't age into a grail, but it won't disappoint on the shelf or the floor either.
