LEGO City Fire Plane 60217 Building Kit (363 Pieces)

Ive loved working with Legos since I was a kid. Lately Ive been grabbing a few sets to have in the house for when grandchildren or other kids visit. But secretly - I love working with these on my own and so does my wife! Theyre kind of like 3D jigsaw puzzles. This fire plan set is a ton of fun and has lots of pieces that can be used to make all sorts of other things.

My kids have recently really started getting into Lego and while they love to tinker about and make their own creations, they and I both love when they get a new kit and make a designed creation. First, they are exercising some visual spatial skills in looking back and forth between the instructions and the actual design they are forming in front of them and checking for accuracy. Finding the correct pieces among the array is also a good skill (ask any mom whose kids cant ever find their library book or their baseball glove). The instructions are illustrated, not written, so it will appeal to a wide segment of kids irrespective of reading ability. And they are very easy to follow. My 6 year old has taken to it quite quickly (Ill admit that my now 12 year old was older before she could do them, so you have to know your own child). The completed pieces are usually displayed in our house for a week before they are dissembled and added to the bin for other creative engineering builds. Be aware of particularly small pieces in this set. The quality of Lego is fantastic, as expected, and the attention to detail they put into these jets are marvelous. Best of all, Lego retain good value down the road, so even when the kids have grown out of them, you can easily rehome these toys.

The LEGO City Fire Plane is a great addition for the city set. It is easy to build the plane with the enclosed step-by-step instructions. I like that the instruction involve clear pictures that indicate which pieces are needed. I like that my kids can build the LEGO by themselves. The sets are well made and of the usual and expected quality from LEGO. The Fire Plane has so many fun details including little fires in the trees. It comes with a pilot and a ground team that can drive the included jeep. Its a great tribute to those brave fire fighters who battle forest fires and protect people and structures. This set would make a great gift to anyone who collects City LEGO, or is a fire fighter or wants to be a fire fighter.

My nephew had this to say: > My favorite part of it is that you can lift the flap on the plane and load the plastic water and drop it by pushing the lever. I like the car because it shoots a cannon and I like the tree because you can put a skunk in it. In short, this is a very entertaining set for those with imagination. For grown-ups, the abundance of tiny, easily lost parts may be less appealing!

My nephew loved the airplane! Its more than a static object as it can be used to play missions.

Kids loved it. Boys 9 & 11

I dont know what kid doesnt love Legos and this set is yet another one amid many little boys and even girls will find themselves enjoying not only putting together but also playing with after. This set lives up to the Lego quality we expect.

Purchased for 4 year old birthday. He loves police and fire Lego sets! And this definitely fit the bill.

My nephew loved it… 11 years old and a big Lego fan. Very pleased with the product

This is a great LEGO set. It was fairly easy to build, without being boringly easy! It has been added to my growing LEGO city, where it fits in well. The quality is as you would expect, exceptional! The documentation is simply perfect. Ther fun? OPngoing! So be the best parent, aunt or uncle (or other relatives of friend) and give the gift that you know they will love, and go back to time and again.
