Great for kids who like cars and also like Legos. This kit is pretty simple and probably works best for the younger kids around 5-6 years old. Great way to get started with the Lego kits before buying the more complicated and expensive ones. 5 stars.

Recommendation: no 6 / 10 by Kernow

This is a good little set with more playability than it would have been with just the car on it's own. It goes really well with the 7638 Tow Truck. Having built it there are a few niggles. It feels like this set was thrown together in an afternoon without much thought. It's crying out for some doors, the back end is uninspired and the big hole in the dashboard is just annoying although easy to correct with a couple of bricks. Having said that, this is the sort of set any LEGO city is crying out for, so buying this at the end of the day was a bit of a no-brainer for me.

Figuring it wasn't enough to index LEGO reviews, we decided we needed to write some as well! Simple and to the point, this blog is where three Swedish LEGO geeks vent and rave about the sets we buy.

Oh, and we're not related to The LEGO Group or The LEGO Company in any way shape or form. We just really like their toys, the AFOL community and the creativity of it all.
