"police sea plane"
thomas was delighted when the plane arrived, sophie was unwell so wasnt really interested
so thomas took it upstairs to his room , i was amazed that he actually built it with very little help from anyone it suprised me how big the plane was when finished as a good size
he has played with it lots since building. and adds his animals etc to rescue
also sophie has taken an interest
its been a hit here as thomas has asked for more bits to go with it so family are getting some for his upcoming birthday
i would recommend lego to anyone with children

"POLICE STATION"
Kira 6yrs and Cole 4yrs received the Police Station to test.
It came in a huge box with the picture on the front - both children were amazed at how much they had to build.
When we opened the box there were seperate numbered bags for each part of the station and all the instructions were numbered too - so easy to work out what pieces went with what instructions.
The Instructions are very clear and if you have something to do before anything else it is highlighted - that is a good idea.
First Cole built a Police dog van. Being 4yrs old I thought I would have to help him, but he prooved me wrong. Following the instructions step by step he built the van perfectly. He usually loses interest in these sorts of things so I was very pleased.
There is also a motorbike and police car to build - these were just as easy and clear.
Next we had to build the base to the station. Kira and Cole took it in turns and both waited patiently for their turn - they worked well together and figured out the pieces and where they were to go together with little help from me.
Building the cells was good fun as they have trick walls and Kira's favourite bit was building the toilets!!
We still have some to build, but as the sets are numbered if you build them in order you can play with what you have.
Kira and Cole have both had hours of fun building and playing with the lego so far.
One thing Kira did mention was that there are no LADY police Officers. She was very angry about this and said that I had to mention it in the review!!
The set says 6-12yrs, this maybe because of the small pieces that are inside, or the complexity of the building, but Kira and Cole managed perfectly well. With a little guidance i'm sure they will continue to have hours of fun building and playing with the Police Station.

"POLICE TRUCK"
Lucas was literally jumping up and down with excitement when he saw this!!!
He vanished upstairs with it and I didn't see him for hours! This is the first Lego thing that he has actually wanted to build himself, usually it's muggings here that does the building while he does the playing!! But no, not this time.
There were three bags in the box. Each bag contained all the pieces needed for a certain part of the set. There was a bag for the cab, one for the trailer and one for the mini station & quad bike. It's a good way to pack it as it meant Lucas could build one part at a time and play with it straight away without worrying about losing parts from the rest of the set. It took him a couple of hours to build the cab, but as I said before this is the first time he has actually followed instructions by himself. I honestly thought he'd give up and want me or his sister to do the rest, but no he stuck with it. It took him 2-3 days to finish the trailer, but he didn't complain once (another first!!). He played with the truck on it's own for a few days before tackling the mini station. That only took a morning, so he finally had the knack of following Lego instructions!
He loves playing with it and has played with it nearly every day. He has added his Spiderman Lego into it and can spend hours creating Spiderman stories.
Lego has always been a favourite of mine, I loved it as a child and must admit to loving it as an adult! It's one toy that will never go out of fashion. My kids can't believe that they have a toy that I played with as a child all those years ago LOL!!
Another winner from Lego, but then again that doesn't surprise me!!
