Hi


I got the 4533 at the new LEGO Imagination Center in Chicago, along with 5
promotional bricks(maybe I'll scan it on BrickShelf) and the #4541
Road-and-Rail Repair Truck.

The set took very little time to build, but was actually a very clever
design.  Next to the wheels there was a compartment that was creating by
attaching Z-Brackets to the bottom of the platform.  There were 2 1x4
Technic Beams with 3 Holes each on each side.  There would then be a Technic
Axle, my guess 6 studs long, (it didn't say-I'm no Technic expert) with  a
small wheel (part 3482 in LDRAW) attached and a tire greatly like the ones
in the Adventurer's Cars.  There was a white rubber band attached and a it
connected to a 10 or 12 long axle on the platform, underneath 3 pieces:  a
2x4 brick, another 2x4 brick, and a 1x4x3 Town Jr.  Car Roof.(not sure of a
name; a couple in 6434 Roadside Repair, 1 in 6330 Cargo Center)

Clever Design, but probably not worth the ten dollars(US) for just 57
elements. LEGO store is slightly smaller than Mall of America one and
DisneyWorld one, but I don't know about the LEGOLAND California one; never
been there.

Overall: I'd buy it if you get it on sale, but that would be hard to do,
since it is Not Available in Any Store(except official LEGO stores and S@H)
