LEGO City Fire Plane 60217 Building Kit (363 Pieces)

These sets are amazing! Many different building choices and clear instructions.

My son really enjoyed this Lego set. He is 6 and has built many LEGO sets at this point so it was not a challenging build. he loved the size of the plane and the water bombs that drop from below. He also enjoy sets that come with multiple pieces, which this one does. The plane is the main attraction but he spent lots of time playing with the Jeep after it was completed.

I havent met a LEGO set that I dont like. I like this one. I like the seaplane with the dual propellers. I also like that it has 3 LEGO City minifigures: a pilot and 2 firefighter figures. The trees are nice too. Especially the skunk burrow and the additional skunk figure. The water is plastic and drops from the plane. Very cute.

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.

My husband enjoyed assembling this, and my 4.5 y/o son has had so much fun playing with it. He tried helping his dad put it together, but his little hands just dont have the required dexterity (its intended for children ages 6 and older). My husband was a little overwhelmed initially as there are so many little pieces, but they came in several bags, each with their own set of directions so it was really quite manageable. Once assembled, it turned out to be a really great play set. Between the plane, jeep, firemen, fire, trees, etc., my son gets really involved with acting out fire rescue missions. This is definitely a hit at our house.

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 8 year old son got this and put it together in an hour or so. Its a great looking firefighting plane that dumps lego water on a flaming forest. Easy from an assembly standpoint and fun to play with as well.

My son is 3 and he loves to do Legos with us as a group project. It allows for bonding and conversation we might not have otherwise. This was a great set, it allows for role play and helps boost imagination too.

My 9yo is a LEGO pro, basically. He took a little over an hour to complete this set and was fascinated (as ever) with the movable features. He really liked the water-dropper on the underbelly of the plane. The trees have a Minecraft-esk feel to them and add a nice touch. It has now joined his LEGO land.

recommended again and again, love this set
