Police Station

we have A LOT of duplo, and i struggle to rank this set. but looking at this price range for Duplo, this has to be a 5. Good - 1. a car that fits two figures! that's unusual for duplo. 2. having 3 figures is great for a small/medium set; the "thief" is generic enough that he can "got a new job" as my kid likes to say 3. Light and Sound brick is really great - gives good sound and light, though i wish there's a function (press and hold?) for the effect to last longer. nonetheless, a very good specialty piece. overall, i don't think this is a great first set, as there aren't enough bricks to do much else - even though the bricks included we like (donut, door, and toilet!). but if you already have a few sets, this is a great addition! Currently the only other set with the light and sound is the fire truck #10901 - which looks like a good set as well except missing somesort of firefighting equipment. i picked this one because we had a fire truck already and the additional different bricks that this comes with. more less

I went to our local LEGO store today to buy my daughter a new Duplo set, and I was deeply, deeply offended by this new release. I actually had to Google it to figure out what it was. LEGO has it listed as a Police Station, but on what planet does a police station look like this? What it DOES look like is a border patrol station, and it is completely inappropriate and uncalled for. You need to remove this set from your shelves immediately and redesign it. more less
