LEGO City Rover Testing Drive 60225 Building Kit (202 Pieces)

My last review said pieces were missing. Found them under the box when taking the puzzle apart. Sorry for the slight against QC Team #216. My apologies.

Perfect gift

I bought it as a gift to my son, he love construction related cars, book, etc. Although he is too small to play with it, I am pretty sure he loves it! The discount is good!

My son thoroughly enjoyed putting this together. And who doesnt like an articulated arm with a spring-loaded claw on the end for gripping stuff? It did seem kind of weird that this was in the City line of kits considering its a space vehicle. It features both an astronaut and a construction worker (or engineer maybe?) right next to each other. Either the astronaut doesnt really need to be in his astronaut suit, or the construction worker can breathe vacuum. Maybe the scene on the front is of the two of them faking a moon landing? I dont know. It took my 7-year-old about 30 minutes to put this together. Hes not super-experienced with Legos but the instructions were, as always, beautifully and precisely illustrated. General Tips For First-Timers and Small Kids: - If possible build on the floor - if building on a table, parts can roll or slide off - If building on a table, create a barrier around the build area to keep parts contained - books work well for this - Before you start assembly, separate all the parts into piles according to color. (The really small bits can be their own pile) If you want to make this a team activity with your child or younger sibling here are a couple more tips: - If the child has trouble putting the parts together, have him/her find and hand you the parts and you put them together - If the child gets bored or frustrated, take turns - you perform one step he/she does the next etc... - Dont be afraid to finish the build yourself if the child seems to be losing interest

My husband had my son make this immediately. It was something he wanted for his gift.

Gift for grandsons

My six year old granddaughter picked this one out. She loves the Legos meant for boys - finds them more interesting and interactive. She loved putting this one together. The instructions were easy to follow and loved all the accessories it came with. Good value for the price.

My kids love to play astronaut so this was a natural match. It took about 2 hours for my 6 yr old to build this set and then start digging through his other legos to make more space vehicles. This would make a great birthday gift.

This is the first set Ive built by myself in years. I usually wait for my daughter but she seemed to be losing interest last time. I assumed it was because we were building things that werent really her taste anymore. She seems to gravitate more towards architectural stuff and less towards veehicles so I figured what the heck, Ill build this one solo. Building is about medium level difficulty, the instructions are great but they do span 2 booklets for some reason. But whats more interesting is how much fun this one is to actually just play with. The articulating arm is really cool and actually does a good job of grabbing small stuff due to the rubber band. When my daughter came home and saw it she immediately said Oh cooooooool! and started playing with it. While a lot of the other sets just sit on a shelf, this one has been taken down several times now to be part of her play. Gunna have to look for more stuff like this.

A great addition to any lego fans collection. I believe this was originally available exclusively as a promotion directly from lego, but I think it is great that this fine rover is available for purchase individually. Well worth the money if you ask me. It has an operable crane using a rubber band. Also has technological involved pilots, and additional rover items to fit in the trunk.
