Lego City Police Station - 7744 - Great addition to lego fans!

Advantages: Assembly in stages, easy to follow for older children/adults
Disadvantages: Base a bit floppy for moving the police station around

My son got this Lego City Police Station for his 8th birthday. We paid £48.89 from Argos for it. It took me and my husband quite a while to help my son build it. But the end result was great. It comes in one box. Within the box are smaller bags. All the bags are numbered and all have a booklet inside for the particular part of the police station/vehicle. None of the items were missing, there were a few bits over though, which come in handy for the ...
...great piece of toy for lego fans. You could always build it in different ways if you get bored with the layout of how it's meant to look, that's what I find handy with lego. Also, in time, it is inevitable that bits will get lost, but with lego you can always compromise and find bits to match from your lego box. If your child likes lego and are into this kind of theme I'd say it was good value for money and recommend the item. ...

When I was little I always had an Advent calendar to count down the days to Christmas, but mine were cardboard and had little pictures of robins or Christmas pudding with a sprig of holly on. Nowadays Advent calendars have gone through a revolution, and as well as chocolate calendars you can get ones containing toys, rather like the one I am reviewing. ★ Lego ★ For anyone who hasn't come across ...

Review of Lego City Advent Calendar

We love Lego!

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: Nothing!

My four year old absolutely loves this product. We built the house together and he had hours of fun role playing different situations with it. The great thing is that you can then break it up and build other creations with it. We have built a bungalow, a shed, a garage and even a fire station. There is no end to the possibilities of things to build. Even though my son is quite young to buil it on his own, we love building it together. We now have ...

Lego NXT Mania

Advantages: Its very educational and fun for kids and adults too
Disadvantages: Its a bit complex for those not into Lego, bluethooth problems

Lego Mindstorms NXT This was bought on eBay, the UK site. The item was new and unused. All of the bags were unopened. It cost £110 which was a considerable saving on the high street price. I have to say that for me this was the only way it would really be afforded. I am a regular eBayer and so I was more than happy with this type of purchase. The item was bough for my little boy who is just six. He had been looking at it for a long ...

...its time for action! The Lego fire station is ready and waiting for the next emergency. This Lego set is divided into sub models for easy building and play.

...Your child will have hours of fun playing with this! Adults will too! It might get noisy, as your child is bound to make lots of siren noises. You can also use it to make up stories at bedtime, based around the fire station and the Lego fire fighters adventures. ...
