The perfect set!
This might be one of the best sets of the 80ies, three models, all fantastically sturdy and playable, especially the helicopter is a joy to put together and a perfect toy. Rare: all B-models are fantastic too, and look as good or better than whatever you could find in the 1988 catalogue.
Seriously good toy that stood the test of time, and can be enjoyed by a child today, 32 years later.

Genius classic set
I remember having and playing with this set for hours when I was a kid. I played so much that more than a few pieces can't even hang on any longer. Because of that I have lost a few of them.
The color scheme and the design is brilliant. The doors, retractable stand for the trailer, opening helicopter cockpit and the truck cab. They are all perfect. Also there are two minifigs that have a similar design.
If you can still buy the set somewhere, get it with no hesitation. It is satisfying to keep it in your collection.

Best colour scheme
I can still remember getting this set - I had/have an obsession with trucks and loved it. The colour scheme was brilliant which included the doors - which then made a number of re-appearances (as well as the colour scheme).
I loved the lowloader style trailer with the smaller tyres and the step down.1 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
The best Town medium set
This is simple the best set for it sice and years.
I remember playing only with this set a long time a go, it was a very important part of mi city.
The helicopter has the best design I have seen.
The minifigures are great, I lost the pilot around 3 years ago and finally maneged to get one replace using bricklink.
Overall a 5 for all the great memories2 out of 4 people thought this review was helpful.
Fantastic!!!
I first had this set at the age of 8, some 17 years ago!!! A great set, with amazing playability value.
I loved the big rig look of the truck, and the trailer had an excellent design for keeping the chopper on while in transit. The chopper itself is well designed, and looks really cool.
I also love the colour scheme of this set, as I think they complement each other really well. Also, gotta love those doors!!!
All in all, a great set worth getting if you see it.3 out of 5 people thought this review was helpful.
