LEGO City Fire Plane 60217 Building Kit (363 Pieces)

The LEGO City Fire Plane is a great addition for the city set. It is easy to build the plane with the enclosed step-by-step instructions. I like that the instruction involve clear pictures that indicate which pieces are needed. I like that my kids can build the LEGO by themselves. The sets are well made and of the usual and expected quality from LEGO. The Fire Plane has so many fun details including little fires in the trees. It comes with a pilot and a ground team that can drive the included jeep. Its a great tribute to those brave fire fighters who battle forest fires and protect people and structures. This set would make a great gift to anyone who collects City LEGO, or is a fire fighter or wants to be a fire fighter.

Ive loved working with Legos since I was a kid. Lately Ive been grabbing a few sets to have in the house for when grandchildren or other kids visit. But secretly - I love working with these on my own and so does my wife! Theyre kind of like 3D jigsaw puzzles. This fire plan set is a ton of fun and has lots of pieces that can be used to make all sorts of other things.

My son really enjoyed this Lego set. He is 6 and has built many LEGO sets at this point so it was not a challenging build. he loved the size of the plane and the water bombs that drop from below. He also enjoy sets that come with multiple pieces, which this one does. The plane is the main attraction but he spent lots of time playing with the Jeep after it was completed.

Purchased for 4 year old birthday. He loves police and fire Lego sets! And this definitely fit the bill.

My son is 3 and he loves to do Legos with us as a group project. It allows for bonding and conversation we might not have otherwise. This was a great set, it allows for role play and helps boost imagination too.

My husband enjoyed assembling this, and my 4.5 y/o son has had so much fun playing with it. He tried helping his dad put it together, but his little hands just dont have the required dexterity (its intended for children ages 6 and older). My husband was a little overwhelmed initially as there are so many little pieces, but they came in several bags, each with their own set of directions so it was really quite manageable. Once assembled, it turned out to be a really great play set. Between the plane, jeep, firemen, fire, trees, etc., my son gets really involved with acting out fire rescue missions. This is definitely a hit at our house.

My nephew loved it… 11 years old and a big Lego fan. Very pleased with the product

It’s great- mentally stimulating Lego of hero’s in action. My 5 year old loves it

Age range: This is recommended for ages 6 and up. I got it for my son who is right now just about a month shy of 6. He is not very mechanical but really likes Legos, and in general I will get him small sets of up to 400 pieces for days when school is closed (his dad works from home), so hes done Legos before. For this, he blew through making the small fire truck, then kept trying the plane a bit at a time over several weeks. After about 3 weeks, I finished it for him. Im not sure whether this was the complexity of the build that was a problem for him, or whether he has limited privacy and space because he has younger siblings. I know a big stall was that as soon as he finished the fire truck, his younger brother who is 3 really wanted to play with it, and that was a bit of a distraction. For this set, I think maybe go a bit older for the child to put it together independently, but if you are helping them then 6 and up is a great age. Age range for playing with the set: The completed set is actually a toy that you can play with. The fire truck has a water launcher, and you load small blue discs into it, then launch them. They go up to 4 feet, but also are small enough not to really hurt anyone or break things. The 5 year old (almost 6) and 3 year old both were into loading and shooting little discs. Obviously, the little discs get lost. They are the little single dot round discs, and any lego sets with a gun or launcher will have the same shaped piece (and it will also have gotten lost). Then, the plane has a compartment that you fill with the big blue semicircle pieces that you can see on the box cover in the product pic. Then you flip a lever to dump these out. So, the plane fills up with water and drops it on a fire. This plane is more versatile, because you can put other things into it as long as they are a bit smaller than a marble. Both young boys liked playing with the plane, dropping water, and making up stories. When they play with it, either the planes wings or the tail tend to fall off. For the tail, they are able to reattach it easily and keep playing. For the wings, they sometimes try to put those on backwards and have trouble. The firetruck doesnt tend to fall apart and is pretty sturdy for play. The trees fall apart, but are easy for the boys to put back together. Overall, it can be used as a toy and holds together well enough for kids to play with, but just has to be kept on a shelf or something rather than tossed in a toy box. One of the Lego figures with this comes with an axe and the kids were really excited about the axe when they played and made up stories. Im not sure about the versatility of this set combined with other sets. The plane has a few larger pieces to hold it together (the fewer larger pieces also helps younger kids to be able to build something so substantial). Most of the individual Lego pieces here are basic blocks or larger pieces specific to the plane, and there arent any individual pieces that seem really cool to reuse in other sets. On the other hand, even in the basic blocks many are a decent size and not teeny tiny. Overall, Id say this set is better for building to a toy, then playing with the toy, as opposed to building, then rebuilding into new things. Thats a combo of the toy being good and of the big structural pieces being very specific to the plane.
