LEGO City set 60018, “Cement Mixer”, depicts a construction cement mixer truck in the Construction branch of the theme. Released in 2013, it contains 221 pieces and adds a concrete related service vehicle to urban building scenes.
This model belongs to LEGO City, specifically the Construction area. Its subject is a cement mixer truck, a practical vehicle for city work sites, road repairs or building scenes. It fits the theme’s focus on everyday urban services and work crews.
The set contains 221 pieces and 2 minifigures. The figures are a construction worker with orange overalls over a blue sweater and a black cap, and a construction worker with an orange jacket with zipper and reflective stripes, dark tan legs, a red hard hat, goatee beard and safety glasses. The build centers on the recognizable construction vehicle and its role in a work site setting.
It suits play, display in a city layout or collection alongside other LEGO City Construction vehicles. Within that theme area, it fills the specific role of concrete transport and site support, rather than general hauling or lifting.
