The Minifigure(s)


Just your regular LEGO City fire man.
Nothing special but pretty nice to have.

The Set


The complete set.
A pretty nice design for the small amount of pieces used.


The back with the tools that the fire man needs to help him save lives :grin:


From the front.
I just noticed that the wheels are really dusty.


The side.
The white stripe is a nice touch I guess.


Her is one of the design problems.
The windscreen is way too low!
Whats the point of having a windscreen that only reaches you're neck?


Another design problem.
Theres no friggin steering wheel!
They could have easily added one, Why not?

The Conclucion

Design: 4/10 No steering wheel and the windscreen is too low.
Build: 6/10 Quick and easy!
Price: 7/10 Not too bad but not too good.
pieces: 6/10 Nothing special.
Minifigures: 4/10 Once again nothing special.

Overall: 5/10 An OK set, Great if you want an army of fire men

Thanks for reading!

Good bye...

Great review! The set is nice, but as you said the design is pretty bad. The tailfin at the back, I think adds on to the design issues, it just looks a little weak. Besides that it has useful pieces.

Thank you! The tailfin doesn't really bother me though. I'm not sure why.
