The Lego 5893 set comes with instructions for three different Lego builds which is why the Creator 3 in 1 series is so popular. As a mom I feel like I'm getting value for money because once they've exhausted all of the play with one model they can rebuild it into another - how good is that?
Let's take a look at the three different things that this Lego Creator 5893 set can be transformed into (and let's not forget they can always create their own models without instructions).
Lego Off Roader
The First Build from Lego #5893
As you can see from the picture this completed model is of an off road vehicle with a trailer and quad bike. This offers a lot of imaginative play once the build is completed.
The build itself is not going to be over too quickly either as this set does have over 1,000 pieces that need to be put together.
So this particular first model has three components to it – the off roader, the trailer and the quad bike so let’s have a look at them all.
When the off roader is completed it measures 10 inches or 25 cm long and looks pretty cool as you can see in the image above. You can open the doors of the truck, put down the tailgate as well as opening up the hood. When you do open the hood you may feel a little disappointed to see you only have a V6 engine (a V8 would've been much better in my opinion), however when you look at what great features the 4×4 has you can forgive the engine size. The vehicle has working steering, suspension and (the creme de la creme) a self-winding winch!
Basically this 4×4 off roader is a really cool vehicle to build as well as being a lot of fun to play with just by itself, but you don’t have it just by itself instead it comes with both a trailer and a quad bike. A little note if you are buying it for a younger Lego builder than recommended there are components with the engine that will probably require adult help with, even if they're experienced.
Trailer has a ramp at the back to enable your to drive the quad bike on and off – this can be put up when not in use. It also has a cool kick stand so that when it’s not attached to the off roader it can stay still. It’s the attention to detail on this model that really shines through and makes it a great set.
The quad bike is also pretty cool, although I am quite partial to playing with quad bikes! When it’s build the bike measures 4 inches or 10 cm long and one of it’s features that I think really makes it is the tilt steering.
Lego Truck with Digger
Second Build from Lego #5893
Diggers are always cool and so are trucks so when Lego offers a model of a truck that has a digger on it you just know this model is going to be a hit!
Lego Dune Buggy
Third Build from Lego #5893
This racing car/dune buggy model is the easiest of the three models to build so if you’re buying the set for a child that doesn’t have a lot of experience with Lego (yet), it’s a good idea to encourage them to make this one first before tackling the other two (the ‘main’ model of the 4×4, trailer and quad bike is definitely the hardest of the three).
A little boy that I know well finds this buggy great fun to play with (although he’s a little younger than the recommended age and his father built it!), it seems really tough and certainly stood up to racing on the concrete area in the back yard with no problems whatsoever.
What Do You Think of the Lego Creator Off Road Power Set?
Personally I think it’s really cool, I particularly like the Quad bike that’s included as part of the first build – what do you like about the set?Note: The author may receive a commission from purchases made using links found in this article. “As an Amazon Associate, Ebay (EPN) and/or Esty (Awin) Affiliate, I (we) earn from qualifying purchases.”

What a cool Lego set. My grandson had a large set several years ago that took him ages to build (I even helped with some) and he loved every minute of his construction (and subsequent play). He's been a big Lego fan for many years.
ReplyDeleteThe Lego Dune Buggy is really interesting. We once lived along the coast in Central California where there were a lot of sand dunes and riding the Dune Buggy was a popular pastime there.
I absolutely love this concept with the Lego sets! 3 in 1 is always a winner in my book. However, I already know I would be required to by 3 sets. My son puts his sets together and they stay together. He would never take one apart to use the pieces to build something else. And, yes, he does need more shelves. He is constantly outgrowing the space provided for built Legos
ReplyDeleteI have a Step-Grandson who would love any one of these. Three in 1 is certainly worth it. Lego can be so pricey, but the good part is it lasts for generations. It's an ideal hand me down toy craft. We've certainly handed ours down to family.
ReplyDeleteLouanne, I have always loved Legos. These are great! Especially the off roader set.
