Lego never made too many of these, but this is very good. I like this set alot because you get a bench, bike, minifigure, and yes, a telephone booth. It is perfect in every way and useful in every Lego town. 5 out of 5.

for such a small set, it has some cool things, such as a cool fig, a black bike, a kind of red brick sidewalk and a telephone booth and bench. it has some rare pieces like the dialer for the phone and in my books, the fig and bike are rare to me. great set for its size

To me, a really rare set. Almost seems as a MOC. It's sad that TLC didn't go further with the idea of making this mini set to equipe your city. The color scheme is really nice, you get a bike and the minifig is nice. Love it.

Here is a great little Town set. It was a suitable pocket money sized box with plenty of excitement in the form of some new bricks for the Town subtheme. Your people need to call all those services emergency and maintenance crews but in olden day Lego Town, few houses come with a 'telephone'. Did everyone use yellow bricks as money and gold?

"Can anyone spare a flat, smooth one stud yellow brick? I need to call the Fire Brigade as my house is on fire!"

Well at least they are in walking distance...

Hanging On The Telephone

Our public telephone booth is bright yellow and first of all, a look at the person using it. The blue stripey 1980s Town tank top is a fetching piece though became a bit boring if you got more than one of a single colour. The blue cap is a good hat and the blue trousers create a hilariously colour coordinated character that only a MF would feel comfortable as without blushing. The black bike is a personal favourite for bike colours, of which there were not many.

The booth has an excellent slanting smooth chamfered style top roof brick to shed err Lego rain and is easily enough completed with a straight forward but satisfying build. The black telephone is an excellent brick and is centrally placed with the one studded (2 stud long) offset. It has a keypad print and is quite durable and hard wearing surprisingly. Its likeable how the receiver is a 'cheat of placing a smooth two long smooth black piece centrally on to one stud atop of the phone.

The bench to the side is nicely solid but has the age old classic problem of no two MFs ever being able to sit together across just four studs, of course needing five for the arms to meet in between, the chunky rascals. No doubt this is a practical joke on the part of the designer to cause Laurel and Hardy style fights between MFs when they both try and sit down at the same time.

The phone is sadly easily removed and so provides extra 'comedy' in the shape of phone theft and retrieval. Funny - if you're the thief, but not if your their sibling.

The red base raises this model off the pavement and brightens up a road or street plate, giving it some busy-busy. A very nice small build indeed with lovely parts and a warmly remembered collectible set for the Town era, such additions making it differ to City with extra points for charm.

Perfect to kill the void space in your town.

Pros

• - nice parts
• - nice items
• - useful
  

Cons

• - simple and poor

This set has never integration problems and fits in every city, but is never needed. Buy it, but nobody will recognize it in your town.
