Lego Technic 8261: Rally Truck

Lego Technic Combine Harvester

Advantages: Looks so cool! Fun to assemble
Disadvantages: Don't misplace any pieces!

Me and my boyfriend received this for Christmas from my parents. We tried to make it together doing different parts, but since you have to follow the instructions very carefully and do one step after another this was not really working, so I just had to sit next to my boyfriend and watch while he did it! My mum got this from John Lewis for £49.99 but it is also available from the Lego website for the same price. I have also seen Lego Technic available in Toys'R'Us so it is not hard to get a hold of. Lego Technic looks quite different from the 'normal' Lego that we all know. The parts are smaller than the normal lego bricks. It is like a more 'grown up' lego. The models that you make with it are usually articulated and quite advanced. The model took us around 6 - 7 hours to assemble. Very good for keeping people entertained! I ...

Review of Lego Technic: Combine Harvester

Lego Dump Truck - knick-knack for kids

Advantages: attractive packaging
Disadvantages: price, few models usage

High price compared to other Lego products is half justified by some special parts. But these special parts are hard to assemble into other creations. You must have an impressive collection of Lego to create something with parts from this set. And not being convertible it could have been not demountable. You just can't do and undo the same model 'cos you will get bored. But as a knick-knack is looks perfect. Some advantage not available to every Lego is that it holds well together which is something good as usually kids love to bump them and get them to all sort of tortures (lol) that test their mechanical resistance. The mini fig and the 2 beacons and the barrier and the sign are some welcome additions, such some mini scene is complete without adding some other toys, which sometimes may not be possible. You buy it, put it in your ...

Review of Lego City 7631 - Dump Truck

Lego City Fire Truck 7239 Great addition to your Lego collection!

Advantages: Good clear instructions, good value for money
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really

This is a great item from Lego. The Fire Truck comes with all the designs of a real fire engine, plus you get the turntable ladder. The details of this fire engine are great, there are storage areas on the side of the truck to hold your smaller items. There is a hose reel for use on top of the ladder. It also comes with a little trailer with a fire rescue boat on the back. The pack comes with some tools and two firefighters. In the box, there are different packages so you can build in bits. This makes it easier for children to follow. The booklets are simple to follow, but I always sit next to my son to help him along if he gets stuck. Once assembled, this fire engine will provide hours of fun. Ours is still in one piece after a few weeks play. Which is good considering my youngest son bashes everything about. Age ...
