LEGO City Fire Truck

Posted on March 7, 2009 by Jack

51TDJBA4MPL LEGO City Fire Truck LEGO City Fire Truck There’s a fire in LEGO City, but never fear, the fire truck is on its way. The brave firefighters use all their gear to battle the flames and save the day. Raise and lower the ladder to fight the fire, and choose from an assortment of firefighting tools. Includes 3 firefighter figures and 214 LEGO building pieces.
Customer Review: Great Fire Truck
This is the Best Fire Truck Lego Has made, I loved it so much I ordered a 2nd. Although this is more half fire truck and half utility truck it is still a cool truck. The first truck I have I kept as Lego intended, the second I turned into a non-ladder truck with pieces from other sets, and used the other ladder section for a utility truck. The recue trailer was a cool bonus, the boat looks liek a Navy Seal’s Zodiac Raft, Too Bad Lego has discontinued this product It is a nice platform for building all sorts of Fire/Rescue trucks as well as other cool trucks.
Customer Review: QUALITY TOY!
My son went through the entire Lego website to pick out which Lego he wanted to purchase with his own money. He is a 6 year old who took a Lego engineering summer camp, where he learned to build all kinds of cool Lego figures. This is the kit he decided upon and let me tell you, he plays with it everyday for hours at a time. He would rather play with Legos than watch tv, which in today’s world is fantastic. He not only put together the entire kit himself, but takes it apart and makes new figures out of the pieces. Some of the pieces are rather small, so he has needed my help snapping them together, but overall he is able to read the directions and put the pieces together independently. He is constantly showing me something new he has built. What a great use of imagination and creativity! He is already looking forward to buying his next kit.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Bertie The Bus

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Noel

417%2B1Wcj72L Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway Bertie The Bus Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Bertie The Bus Kids may remember Bertie the Bus as Thomas the Tank Engine’s worthy opponent in a race where the two become good pals. At least that’s how this 3.5-inch-long, bright red, fresh-faced bus appears in one of W. Awdry’s preschooler books, Thomas and Bertie. Now kids can include Bertie in their Thomas Wooden Railway System, a creative assemblage of sturdy vehicles, tracks, and scenery all based on the popular Thomas the Tank Engine book, television, and video series. As a bus, Bertie travels separately from most of the system’s train-car characters. But he’s always greeted as a welcome friend at railway crossings or station parking lots. Like all parts of this high-quality toy system, Bertie carries a lifetime warranty. –Joan DeClaire
Customer Review: Bad Paint
My son is 2. He loves his Bertie. He got the toy in the mail on Saturday. Then on Monday the paint started to chip off.

Customer Review: Soooo fun!!
My 10 year old daughter got this for Christmas this year and it is by far her favorite gift. She and her dad have been doing the cases together (she may be able to do it on her own but it is helpful to have an adult supervise). The microscope is not the best but they got it to work well enough for the cases. We just discovered that there is an extension kit with 4 more cases and we’re definitely going to buy that. It is a fun and educational toy. I highly recommend it!
Customer Review: Great Kit!
This is a quality toy. I would only recommend it for children who have a real interest in this science, though. My husband and son did all the cases and did not require a better microscope. The one that was provided worked just fine for them. For $80.00, you aren’t going to get a state of the art microscope. They both felt it was a very enjoyable activity.

This toy was one we bought for our daughter when she first started walking. It quickly became her absolute favorite toy. It went with us on vacation. It went outside, and came inside. It even ended up in some professional photos we had done a few months later!
