(...) I have 6693. I was 2, and hardly remember it, just the box, and me playing with it (my older brother helped me build it). That was my first set. Probabally comparing it with that new one, the 6693 is much better. All the new one is good for is (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Wow, nice truck. I wish I had one of those. I was actually aiming for a non-vehicle alternate as a challenge, and although I remember one being on the back of the box, I really can't make a nice, non-vehicle with this set. (24 years ago, 2-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews)

#6564 Recycle Truck 34 pcs. CAN: $10.25 USA: $7.25 I received this set for Christmas 1999 wrapped with the 6422 Telephone Repair. I find the Recycle Truck to be a useful addition to my Town vehicle fleet. The stuff I liked was the cool garbage can (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews)

The Roboriders are an updated version of the Throwbots without the useless disk arm. The way they are set apart for the throwbots is their 'disks' are random, and they are all on wheels. They also manage to introduce two new colors in the process: (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jun-00, to lugnet.reviews)

This set sounds just about perfect. Oh the wonder if I could only own one. But, alas, I need a car, and have no job as of yet.

Justin, I agree with you on the review. I like the set and it is a nice model overall. The tail section uses some unorthodox construction techniques ( like the wing panels from Darth Vader's TIE fighter or the Sith Infiltrator) which I thought was a (...)

This is a great set, and my new favorite Lego set. It's not juniorized at all, looks really sharp from both a design and color standpoint, and is just overall a great model. The wings fold up, there is a little storage spot in the back, and the set (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jun-00, to lugnet.reviews)

Thanks for the review. It certainly looks like a fun set with interesting parts. I wonder how you can play with the set, though? I suppose the vehicles can grip the ball? Fredrik (25 years ago, 27-May-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.town, lugnet.general)
