 not much fun for a five-year old September 14, 2009

1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had to put the pieces together and my five-year old played a little while and some pieces fall apart, he struggled a while to put them together and failed. Now he no longer touches these. He loves cars and loves play legoes, but this one may be too much for him. It took me quite bit time to put them together in the first place.
 Another fun LEGO set, but not as sturdy as it should be June 4, 2010
Justin Gaines (Northern Virginia)
Since he thoroughly enjoyed the LEGO City Off Road Fire Rescue (7942) set, we decided to see how he did with the larger Lego City Fire Truck. The set has 214 pieces and when completed includes a full-sized fire truck, trailer, a small boat, a pair of fully-equipped firefighters and related gear.
Complexity: My son is only 4, so I was the one building this set. My son was able to assemble simple elements like the wheels and some of the decorative external pieces, plus of course the firefighter figures. I found this to be a very simple set to assemble.
Playability: Unlike the Off Road Fire Rescue vehicle, the Lego City Fire Truck isn't as durable as I'd hoped. The ladder in particular, while a totally cool feature, falls off if you look at it too hard. Naturally that frustrated my son, as it's not an easy fix for younger builders. The side supports tend to snap off a lot as well. The lack of side doors is also a negative, as it means taking off the roof and windshield when you want to get the firefighter in and out of the truck.
While I enjoyed building this set with my son and he does enjoy playing with it, I think the Lego City Fire Truck may be more effective as a display piece than as a playable toy.

We love Legos and we love fire trucks---how awesome to get it all in one! My son and husband thoroughly enjoyed this! It's a great addition to the Lego collection and we recommend it and would buy it again!
Legp Fire Truck gives hours of fun January 30, 2010

My nine-year old grandson is a great Lego fan amd there are ,many fire fighters in his mother's extended family. He hugely enjoyed putting this together and after a while, the pieces will be recycled into some other creative and exciting Lego project. I highly recommend this item and other Lego creations (the more pieces the better) as a non-video game alternative that is engrossing and (excuse the expression) an educational activty that promtores thinking and good eye-hand coordination.

The fire truck is easy to assemble. My 6 year old received it as a Christmas present this year. He has had a lot of fun playing with it. The instructions are easy to follow. The lego creation also holds together well. It does not fall apart easily when bumped as some other lego creations do.
