Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 9 reviews

LEGO has made some GREAT kits for their CITY series. However, even though this Forest Fire set is only $10, it rather is uninspiring in the design.The firefighter buggy's windshield can be raised so the included mini figure can sit in it. It also shoots "water" via a spring-loaded mechanism to extinguish the flames, and that is pretty much it. The colors are rather bland and the whole set is simple.Comparing it to other $10-range CITY kits, it is not one of LEGO's best. With that said, to my 4-year-old son (who took about 40 minutes putting the 84 pieces together), having a firefighter in a buggy is very cool to him.The included owl in the context of a burning tree is rather odd to have in this set.Nonetheless, for $10, this CITY kit is a great bargain, helps promote fine motor skills for young children, and inspires the imagination. It just is not one of LEGO's impressive $10-range sets.

It all started with a comment that I saw online where the person said that she really liked the owl... since we had another fire vehicle, this one could be complementary. We were also going to have an owl that winked. With all these owls that are also found in the Harry Potter sets... there are many possibilities. As soon as we finished the Lego, me and my son went upstairs and placed the car next to the other fire truck and we extinguiched the fire.
