A gift for all occasions – The Farmers Market Van playset can be given as a holiday, birthday or any-other-day gift for boys and girls aged 5 and up

Carrots are also being grown, and an almost-hidden play feature transforms them from small plant to a full-grown root vegetable, which mysteriously is growing above the ground!The vehicle, resplendent in orange and green livery, matches the style and size of previous great vehicles in the City range. Fun functions – The Farmers Market Van comes with a serving window, opening side doors, rear doors and a minifigure cab, while the veggie patch features a fun carrot-growing function

Dimensions – When built, the LEGO City Farmers Market Van measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 10 in. (25 cm) long and 6.5 in. (17 cm) wide Exactly, this is the kind of thing I would buy for a child (like the recent City ice cream van 60253 too or the tractor 60287). The healthy food aspect will have an appeal to parents too. And it's colourful, and not trying to appeal just to one gender (as I fear some of the more conflict based sets are).

Details

The section of field may be small and the crops not particularly realistic, but nevertheless it looks great and something we've not seen in a set before. The corn piece is a welcome addition to both foodstuff and plant elements.
