Buy Lego City Construction Set from Amazon here! |
If you don't have any of the myriad of Lego City Construction sets that are available then you'll be missing out on all of the excitement.
If you can only have one Lego City Construction set then you should get the Lego set #7633 pictured above.
This is a big set containing 898 pieces which will give you 3 different vehicles and 5 minifigures.
You can see the crane in action in this image. The Lego Crane actually measures 17" long and 13" high.
Whether your child (or you, no judgements here, I love Lego!) gets more fun out of building this crane or playing with it is debatable. In my mind it's way better than the old Tonka crane my brother had when we were growing up!!
Another fun inclusion in this set is a moving elevator which you can see in the image below. It's a lot of fun to send your minifigs up and down on that!
As well as the three vehicles (crane, digger and truck), the modular apartments to build and the minifigs themselves that you can see in the images there are also a few other cool accessories in this set. These things include little handheld radios for the minifigures (which will certainly make it easier for them all to communicate should one be up the elevator for example. There are also shovels to help the workers dig on the site and lots of other fun construction related tools.
As I've mentioned that are lots of other Lego City Construction sets available to choose from so if you don't want such a big set then be sure to check out some of the others.
My little cousin loved getting the digger set for Christmas so that comes highly recommended,a although sharing it with his brothers did NOT happen!
It is lucky that I reconsidered getting this set for the three of them to play with. Although they usually share toys happily the digger was such a hit it took about 12 months before the others were allowed to touch it!
Knowing the amount of time, plus the sense of personal achievement one has after finishing a large Lego set, I'm not surprised your little cousin didn't wish to share quickly. I have seen the heartbreak when a Lego creation has been broken into pieces. These Lego sets are often real works of art! Although, I really do like the ones that can be gently played with.
ReplyDeleteLove the crane and the moving elevator is so clever. What child (or adult Lego lover) wouldn't enjoy building this construction set and then using it to 'pretend' build a city.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what can be built with Legos!
ReplyDeleteExcellent review. Thank you. I have a step-grand who loves lego. Just wish they weren't so expensive. Have to really keep your eyes open for those sales.
ReplyDeleteOh Louanne, besides reading with children, Legos are my next favorite toy to share with them. I know my grands love their sets and they learn so much by building and playing with them. It's also really good time spent with parents while they build.
ReplyDeleteThis would make a wonderful gift for any LEGO lover!
