Fabulous toy for the whole family! July 28, 2007

What started out as an idea to keep him busy for an hour while I fixed a software installation issue on my computer, ended up being a wonderful family project as we built the LEGO Fire Station together. Life surprises us like that as we struggle to do our best. We think things will end up one way, and oftentimes, unplanned, they end up completely differently, but even better than expected. He got me away from the computer time and again until I finally ditched any thoughts of dinner, called the pizza delivery guy, and set to work to create a new playworld for my son.
My almost six-year-old son took the lead, enthralled by the little pieces and sometimes challenged by the instructions. Nonetheless, he independently worked on the rescue vehicle while my daughter and I tackled the fire truck. At first, ee mumbled under this breath that he wasn't good at building things. Oh yeah? LEGO Fire Station proved he could. It makes me cry to think how much of a boost he got in his confidence by completing such an elaborate building in one day.
My husband put together the station, then we moved it all to the family room for more fun the next day. Admittedly, the fire station requires adult supervision. I was even challenged at times to find all the right pieces. Luckily, the bags are clearly numbered, as well as the instruction booklets. Just be sure to keep them handy in case your child decides to play 'car crash' with the fire truck like ours did!
With other toys that require assembly, my kids seems excited by putting it together, then leave the toy unnoticed thereafter. The LEGO Fire Station has elicited a different reaction. They love the assembly AND playing with it, too. In fact, we had to convince our son to go to a playdate he has been anticipating for months today, simply because he did not want to part with his new toy. I'm certain he's going to want the other LEGO CITY toys, too. As I eye my son's room, I figure we can always have a yard sale or, more drastically, move to a bigger house. After all, there are few toys I can remember more distinctly from my childhood than LEGOs. Can you?

I'm not sure if my daughter enjoyed putting it together more than I did. She's 5 yrs and could do quite a bit but did need help. She's enjoying it thoroughly.
Still as good as ever. January 13, 2008

I had Legos when I was young, so now that my son is 6, it's his turn. I gave all mine away to another youngster when I was in high school (who then gave them to his younger brother--they last forever), so I have to buy new ones. These are every bit as good as the ones I had over 20 years ago. My son already wants more to add to his set. I guess he'll have to wait for his birthday to see what he gets. I only wish Lego would put more drawings of other ways to build the sets. I always liked doing the instruction set first, then trying to copy the pictures. Great for the imagination.
Excellent toy for our little builder January 7, 2008

This toy is great. Our son loves this. He's five and is just learning how to build things in Lego. Once dad helped him build it, he has gotten hours of enjoyment running the trucks, playing with the people and of course knocking pieces off so dad can fix it. Highly recommend any Lego set, especially this one.
