2.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Idea Bad Execution, August 8, 2010
= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Station (7208) (Toy)
Bought this for my 6 yearold. We had great fun putting it together and the modular aspect was nice as we put each building and car together at a different time. However, this is when the trouble started. When it was time to put the modules together everything broke apart. Since then I have become an expert at putting this together. About once every week the toy falls apart and its to hard for my 6 yearold to put it back together without starting from scratch. If you are going to build this once and put it on the shelf its 5 stars. If you want to play with it when you are done building it I can only give it 2 stars. When I has a kid the Legos did not fall apart when you touched them. For the cost of this its could stick together a much better so the kids could play with them when they are done building what is a very cool set.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some very cool pieces, hard to move once you get it together., December 16, 2010

We got this toy for my 4 year old son. It is a fun set and is fun to put together. There are two fire trucks, a garage, and a living area (sleeping quarters, etc.) for the firemen. There are some really cool pieces in the set. The firetrucks work well and the garage doors are nifty in how they slide up and down.

The biggest negative to this set is that it is very hard to move from place to place. After we built it (over the course of three nights) and tried to move it, it completely fell apart. So, we rebuilt it on a tray that we had sitting around. Now we just move the tray around and it is fine. So, just a note...if you want to keep this together to play with build it on something that you can move with it. You cannot move the piece by itself after it is built, it is just not stable.

The above issue is a bit disappointing and could have been solved if they had just including larger base plates. Another small issue is that the ladder falls off of the... Read more

As a child, Legos were my favorite toy. Until my teenage years, I'd spend hours building, destroying, rebuilding and creating with the magical blocks. So it was only natural that I'd introduce my son to them. Today's Legos are much more sophisticated than they were 20 years ago. This is both good and bad; the realism and detail are fantastic, however with so many specialized parts, it is much more challenging to construct original designs using these kits. Where the old packages used to show lots of ideas for other things you could build in addition to the "official" design, today's boxes now only show multiple angles of the "official" design.

In regard to this set, I agree with the reviewer who stated that it feels a little skimpy for the money. The large ladder truck's rear end hangs out of the garage bay. The portion of the model with the bunk beds and telephone (though it looks very cool from the outside) is so small that it is almost pointless. A dad holding a Lego... Read more
