LEGO Duplo Legoville Garbage Truck (5637) Top Quality


My 3-year-old son received this for his birthday 2 weeks ago and has played with it everyday since. The truck is very realistic. It comes with a garbage can that clips onto the back of the truck to simulate actually dumping in the garbage. There is also a garbage man and some loose larger legos that are included.

My 7-year-old was curious at first and now not at interested so I think the 3-4 year old preschool range is perfect.

Overall, fantastic for younger kids especially for less than $15.00.Get more detail about LEGO Duplo Legoville Garbage Truck (5637).

LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079) This instant


First off, if nothing else, this set is worth it for the minifigs alone. You get an awesome golden knight and a queen, both unique to this set, as well as a standard crown knight and the rare jester minifig. On the evil side of things, you get an awesome grim reaper-esque skeleton with skeleton horse, a black skeleton, and another white skeleton. Seven minifigs is a lot for a set in this price range!

Accessories are cool too! Lots of weapons, including a flail, scythe, golden sword, crossbows, and even axes and glaives used in the tower's decor can come down if needed for a fight scene. The golden knight's armor and helmet are awesome, the shields are neat, and the queen's crown is adorable.

Secondly, the tower itself is impressive. The drawbridge mechanism works well, and the flick-fire ballista is neat too. My only complaint is that there isn't a whole lot of display (or play) room in the tower itself. To remedy this, I bought a seven dollar green baseboard with this set. The entire set fit on it perfectly. I would highly recommend purchasing the baseboard, which is a little extra cost but results in a much more satisfying play or display experience.

I bought this set on a whim, thinking of the Lego castle set I always wanted as a kid. I had fun building it; it's nothing too complex, but interesting anyway. The drawbridge mechanism is a stroke of genius. Also, when I took it home from college, my much younger siblings had a blast playing with it!

In conclusion, you can't beat the minifigs in this set for play or display purposes, and the tower is nice as well. I would recommend this set to any Lego Castle fan! It's a lot of fun, and adding a baseboard makes it even more so!Get more detail about LEGO Castle Drawbridge Defense (7079).

LEGO Castle Building Set (6193) Best Quality


When I first saw this set on the store shelf, it called to mind the year as a kid (circa 1980) when I worked and saved my allowance to buy LEGO's original Yellow Castle set. The yellow brick walls, the black supports under the tower, and the "old-school" brick horse in this miniature set make me think that someone in the LEGO group consciously meant to pay tribute to the older, original set.

The new set contains 137 pieces, and in my opinion, has a healthy balance of base plates, large bricks, smaller bricks, roof slopes, arches, and round bricks, with several specialized pieces as well. One mini-figure knight is included, armed with a sword. Among the specialized pieces are included tree branches, flags, a length of chain, bricks with animal eyes painted on, two hinges, and three axle pieces.

There are plenty of bricks in the package with which to experiment and build one's own ideas. However, the set includes instructions for building a horse, a catapult, and a small castle. These three items can be built concurrently with the bricks in the set, and several more bricks will be left for other ideas. Photographs on the box and in the instructions include ideas for building three other types of castles or structures as well as a dragon and another horse.

The small, finger-flick catapult is a simple idea, but can potentially provide quite a bit of fun in trying to maximize the distance it will toss a brick by adjusting the position of the lever.

The draw bridge is attached to the castle by a length of chain and can be raised and lowered by turning a piece representing a miniature winch. The drawbridge would function better if it were simply attached by a piece of string, however the plastic chain lends character to the structure.

The horse and the dragon as shown on the box are simply cute, but rely on several of the same pieces, and therefore cannot be built at the same time.

It would have been nice if the creators at LEGO had included a shield for the knight as they have with nearly every other set in the Castle series, but perhaps one of the designers, in considering costs, felt it was better to include three or four other structural pieces rather than one shield for the mini-figure.

My main reservation with this set is its price; Its MSRP of around U.S. $10 seems a little expensive in my opinion. However, compared to other new LEGO sets with prices averaging about ten cents per brick and more, some may consider that this a reasonable price. At MSRP, I did consider buying it off the store shelf, but passed it up. However, when the set was marked for clearance at $5, I bought several sets to keep on hand for rainy days with nieces and nephews.Get more detail about LEGO Castle Building Set (6193).

LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter Get it now!


Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter was one of two that my grandson wanted for his 7th birthday. I was able to find this one so I purchased it and sent it off to them in Illinois. Today,February 26,2010 is his big day and when I called my daughter and her husband and the kids early this A.M. he was too busy playing with it to come to the phone. It was a hit, but then, what boy and many girls don't love Legos's. Even his younger brother has a list, alas one of his is the $500. Bicentennial set so that's a bit out there for me.
Today, as my grandsons birthday surprise they're off from the suburbs to downtown Chicago to The Planetarium and where else? but of course, THE LEGO STORE, where they also went last summer. What a wonderful birthday this will be for him and his younger brother. Next grandsons birthday is 4.10.10 and so there will be more Legos headed his way.. Oh, and I forgot, I'm flying out 3.8.10 for a week and will of course have lego surprises in my suitcases.. Wish I still had all my now grown son's Lego's for the boys!!Get more detail about LEGO Star Wars Anakin's Jedi Starfighter.

LEGO Atlantis Neptune Carrier (8075) Decide Now


Admit I had my doubts when my 7 year old wanted this set recently. He thought it looked cool from the box but I wondered what it had to offer beyond the new Atlantis underwater theme. Turns out that the set is a hit on several levels...he loves it (no surprise there) but it's also nicely designed and offers more than a new theme.

As with most sets, there are a few small ships and vehicles to build first, which is nice. The main Neptune ship is the real draw. It has some terrific features...there are cool new pieces and the finished ship is also designed to allow bay doors to open and push back in a creative way that transforms the shape of the vehicle. Very cool and not something you see with every set.

I guess the best testament I can share is that my son usually takes apart a set within a week after building it and just uses the pieces for his own creations. This one has already lasted two weeks, with no sign that it's coming apart any time soon! Couple of other notes: my son has been putting together Lego sets himself for several years and didn't have any trouble with this one. There are about 450 pieces, which makes the price a little steep compared to some comparable sets, though not overly so.Get more detail about LEGO Atlantis Neptune Carrier (8075).

Lowest Price LEGO City Police Headquarters


This toy is super awesome! It's pretty hard to keep your eyes off of! It is very, very fun to play with. There is a new version of a police car, a hound dog carrier, and a motorcycle included. There are two garages, one for the police car, (01) and one for the hound dog carrier (02). Very detailed toy. There are flowers and bushes. There is a mailbox with mail inside! There are stairs, that go to a door that actually opens, and an office with a computer. There are two robbers included. The robbers go into jail cells. The jail cells have a toilet, toilet paper, and a bed with a cup. The jail doors open with a key. The robbers can break out from the back. A watch tower and two watch lights are the highest points of the headquarters. A satellite and two megaphones are on the top. There are even a walkie-talkies, binoculars, lights, and hand-cuffs! There is a safe and a water cooler. Another high room is the interrogation room. A table, a "WANTED" sign, a bulletin board, two chairs, and a lamp are in the interrogation room. Another room is beside it. The two rooms are separated by a clear lego piece. The other room has a table, a coffee machine, and a VHS tape. This set is recommended for lego lovers. I give this five stars.Get more detail about LEGO City Police Headquarters.

Low Price LEGO® Pink Brick Box (5585)


The order was received promptly in a well protected package in time for Christmas. I was looking for a Lego product for my niece and found this on Amazon. Most local retail stores only have Lego geared more to the interest of boys. My niece enjoys to variety of play this product provides, with people, dog, car, and house. My only regret is that the Lego is a bit small with no moving parts. I have seen Lego with windows and doors that open and close. Of course, the Lego pieces were much larger and the end product would cost much more. But it would have add to the imagination and play.Get more detail about LEGO® Pink Brick Box (5585).

Buying LEGO Creator Propeller Power (6745)


My little brother got this toy for his birthday. He never really builds legos so I was the one who built this for him. This toy is very fun, and is also very strong for a lego, but that doesn't mean it will survive if dropped. I had a great time building it even though some pieces were missing I just simply replaced them with some spare lego pieces I had. I think it was really cool how the wheels can come out.

Purchase LEGO Creator House (4956)


This set is wonderful for creating your own original houses based off of the base prints provided in the building booklets. I agree with prior reviews in that the more sets you can buy the better due to pieces for the garage doors, fences, windows and lights. Very classic. The doors are more like "storm doors" instead of the traditional solid doors or window light doors so you definitely want to design the front doors as hidden under the front porch or alcove. You also need two sets just so you can expand the length of the garage for the current CITY convertible. Kids love the garages.

LEGO Space Police Freeze Ray Frenzy (5970) Top Quality


I bought this set because I wanted the cool figures and vehicles for my Lego collection. This set comes with one awesome Kranxx figure that has a very detailed printed head, torso, and legs. This set also comes with one extremely cool Space Police officer figure that has a very detailed printed head, torso, and legs. He also has a black helmet and visor, and a black oxygen tank (it could also be a jetpack). The officer's bike is a very interesting build but when finished it looks sort of odd and front heavy. The bike is equipped with two freeze ray cannons (one on each side of the bike) that also double as flick-missiles. Kranxx's hotrod is a very enjoyable build and when finished it looks fast and dangerous. The hotrod is outfitted with one laser cannon and a jet engine which release a huge flame of fire! This set also comes with a traffic light and a stop sign. Well, here are the basics of the set:

LEGO Atlantis Guardian of the Deep (8058) This instant


This Lego set frustrated my kids and I can see why. One of the pieces isn't the size depicted and therefore doesn't fit properly, though you can put the whole thing together by positioning it slightly differently. In the many Lego set constructions I've overseen in the last couple years, I've never had that happen! Also, I know Lego sets can fall apart when played with, but in most kits, most of the pieces are held in place in multiple points, making it a little harder. Not so with this one - the pieces kept falling apart as the kids put it together. They got it together, but my son just said disappointedly, "I think it's too fragile to play with." My kids are excited about the Atlantis line, so I'm hoping that the others are at least a little better designed.Get more detail about LEGO Atlantis Guardian of the Deep (8058).

My son has put together almost every new Star Wars Lego, this was the last large set. It is really cool but it has a lot of the dark gray pieces as structural components. In all sets, the dark gray pieces work apart on their own for some weird reason, they have a higher oil content or something. That, combined with a delicate frame that moves in a lot of ways, and a lot of piece that are designed to barely hang on, makes this ship very delicate and hard to play with without it breaking apart.

In addition to the Super Battle Droids this set comes with two normal battle droid figures. The AAT itself is a fairly complex build and when finished it looks very tough and intimidating. The tank is equipped with a primary blaster turret which rotates and moves up and down; this turret is manned by one of the normal battle droids. The AAT is also equipped with four secondary blaster cannons (two on each side of the cockpit) that double as flick-missiles.

Buy LEGO Large Green Building Plate (15" X 15")


I bought two of these baseplates for my children (ages 2 & 4) for 50% off at the Lego site (only difference is the one I purchased is red in color). Definitely check the Lego site before purchasing to see if they are offering any of these on clearance.

This baseplate, which measures 15" x 15" (or 22 x 22 pegs), is absolutely essential to building really fantastic Duplo structures. For some reason I can't find a single store within a 50-mile radius that carries these (I've looked) and that makes absolutely no sense, because what exactly are you going to do with Legos if you don't have a sturdy foundation for the building? Up to this point my daughters have busied themselves making large towers that often topple, scattering the stacked Legos everywhere and creating disappointment. With this baseplate (and a few of the other smaller building plates we purchased) the possibilities are truly limitless. You can actually build a structure for little people to play in, landscape a yard/garden area and plant little flowers around it, and because the baseplates holds it all in place you aren't losing pieces left and right. To be honest, when the kids go to bed tonight, I think I'm going to play! I never had one of these baseplates when we had Legos growing up, but I think it was the one thing we were always missing, and the reason my interest in Legos was never very intense.

So, I think this is a great piece, and without a doubt, it's essential. My only disappointment is with just how thin it is. Basically, if you pick it up by a single corner, the rest of the plate bows. If you hold it up to the light you can see through it - just to give someone who is purchasing on of these sight-unseen an idea of how thin it is. Because this is, as all Lego pieces are, made of ABS plastic, the material is extremely rigid, and I dare say even brittle. It's not a type of plastic that is made to withstand being bent. If we don't mount these plates on something to increase their stability, I feel quite sure that one of the children (most likely my two year old who already shows an interest in roughhousing with the baseplate) will step on it while it's on an uneven surface and break it, or use it as a weapon to club someone over the head and break it. And because it would be a real pain to replace, and because at full price it's not exactly a cheap item, I really really, do not want them to break these plates.

If you happen to have rough-playing youngsters who aren't especially careful with their toys, I would either think of this as a supervise-only item (which is a pain), mount it on a rigid surface (but where to find a surface made of safe materials?) or maybe postpone buying it until the kids are older, and in the meantime stick with the smaller collection of 3 building plates offered on the Lego site (for about a third of what the large base costs here). While the smaller building plates are obviously not the 'ultimate' in Lego building accessories (they measure 7.5" x 3.75" or 12 x 6 pegs), they definitely up the versatility of the basic pieces significantly and allow for a lot more building possibilities. At 1/2 the thickness of standard bricks, the small plates are quite a bit more durable than the large baseplate. They could be broken, but it would require some serious effort and intent, I'd imagine. Lastly, the smaller building plates can also be stacked on top of Duplo bricks as well as serving as a small baseplate, while this large 15" x 15" plate could not, say, serve as a roof for a house. The large baseplate is definitely a single-function item.

I didn't feel like I bought these equipped with a realistic picture of what I was getting, and I hope I can provide that to someone else considering adding the baseplate to their collection. I'm glad I got our baseplates on sale, as I may have been a little disappointed in their durability had I paid full price. I think in the long run, they'll be a great addition to our Lego set - so I have no regrets, but I think the smaller plates will be more durable and suit our needs better while our children are young.

Order LEGO Indiana Jones Ambush in Cairo (7195)


This scene in the movie, by far in my opinion, is one of the funniest moments in movie history. Honestly. What was just a silly thing Harrison did on the set because he wasn't feeling well, turned out to be many people's favorite scene in the film. Funny stuff! I'm so glad that they came out with a Lego set depicting this scene. It has so many details, including apples to sell in the marketplace, and the always coveted knife that the "bad guy" wanted to use to harm Indy. Of course, the whip is there and this set has 4 figures which is a bit unusual in this price range. It goes together pretty quickly and is quite fun when put with the other "Raiders" sets, especially the temple escape. It's quite loved in this house, super cute, tons of play time hands down.

LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) Top Quality


My nine-year old grandson is a great Lego fan amd there are ,many fire fighters in his mother's extended family. He hugely enjoyed putting this together and after a while, the pieces will be recycled into some other creative and exciting Lego project. I highly recommend this item and other Lego creations (the more pieces the better) as a non-video game alternative that is engrossing and (excuse the expression) an educational activty that promtores thinking and good eye-hand coordination.Get more detail about LEGO City Fire Truck (7239).

LEGO City Police Command Center 7743 This instant


My 7 year old son has some of the larger lego sets, however they require more "pretend" play than he likes as compared to lego vehicles. This set has the vehicles that he loves as the main focus and the larger vehicle IS a pretend play set on wheels! It's a fun challenge to build and matches all different lego city sets or my son even plays this when he needs any kind of "universal lego law enforcement".Get more detail about LEGO City Police Command Center 7743.
