LEGO Technic Mini Tow Truck (9390-1) — 2012 Release This compact but cleverly engineered Technic set delivers a surprisingly satisfying build experience in a small package. Released in 2012, the Mini Tow Truck stands out as one of those underrated Technic entries that punches well above its size class. Despite its modest footprint, it captures the functional spirit that defines the Technic line, making it a genuinely rewarding set for collectors who appreciate mechanical ingenuity over sheer scale. Inside the box you get 138 pieces, with the build centered on a classic tow truck design complete with a working boom and hook mechanism. The functional lifting arm is the real highlight here — it operates just as you would expect from a full-sized Technic model, demonstrating LEGO's commitment to authentic mechanical function even at the entry level. The color scheme leans into a bold yellow and black palette that gives the finished model a sharp, purposeful look on any display shelf. This set is best suited for Technic enthusiasts who enjoy completing their theme collections, as well as builders who appreciate well-designed smaller sets alongside their larger flagship models. It also works well as an introduction to Technic mechanics, making it a solid pick for collectors looking to round out a display of classic Technic vehicles from the early 2010s. Because 9390-1 is still currently available, now is a sensible time to secure a copy at retail before that window closes. Smaller Technic sets from this era have shown a consistent pattern of modest but steady value growth after retirement, particularly those with functional features that showcase the theme's core identity. If your Technic collection has a gap where a tough little workhorse belongs, the Mini Tow Truck deserves serious consideration before it disappears from shelves.
