Great little, workable toy, October 27, 2007

This truck unit comes with several pieces of equipment that should keep a fire-fighting kid happy. It includes a hose, a removable saw and a trailer that can be detached. It reminds me more of a firefighting unit you might see in a rural area, rather than a city. If your child is small, he or she may have trouble attaching some of the small pieces to the trailer, or placing them in the hands of the fireman that comes with this. Overall, it's a great little set.
But beware this unit will probably make your kid want more fire units. The new fire station out this year from Lego is a dandy, and this little unit will only add to the fun.

My son is a big fan of fire and rescue vehicles, so we decided to give the LEGO City Off Road Fire Rescue set a try as his first "big kid" LEGO set. The set has 130 pieces and when completed includes a truck, trailer, a fully-equipped firefighter and related gear.

Complexity: My son is only 4, so I was the one building this set. The box says it's for ages 5-10 so I'm relieved I was able to complete it without much trouble!

Playability: Once assembled, this is a pretty durable vehicle. I love the folding tailgates, fire hose that spools in and out (manually) and the storage bins on the trailer. It survived a pretty thorough "product testing" by my son. My only complaint is that unlike most LEGO vehicles I've encountered, this truck doesn't have doors that open. If... Read more

My 12yr old daughter asked for a few lego mini sets for Christmas, she was so excited and just focused on building and creating
. Watching her, reminded me of my childhood and growing up with essentially the same exact toys. Legos surrounded me many a Christmas morning. Thank you for the ageless smiles.
