The Full Take
The Fork Lift Truck is exactly what a small City set should be: one vehicle, one worker, done. The forklift silhouette is tight and readable — you can tell what it is from across the room, which matters more than piece count at this scale. At 31 pieces it's not going to challenge anyone, but the build is clean and the proportions work. One minifig rounds it out without padding the box. The price grade lands at B-, meaning you're not getting a screaming deal, but you're not getting gouged either — it's a fair ask for a supplemental set. The C- hold grade makes the calculus clear: this is a set to use, not a set to store. Buy it for the fun, not the future.
