Sound the siren!
" This set is a great addition toyour LEGO city.
It doesn't quite look like the fire engines you see in real life, but its design is streamlined and pleasing to the eye.

Two firefighters! One has the air tank and respirator!

If you combine it with the off road fire rescue, you can use the two different trailers interchangeably.
Nice lights
Has outriggers so it won't tip over

Instructions come in 3 different parts so you might lose them (I did, even thought I take keeping the instructions very seriously)

Overal it is a very good set to have, as you don't have to buy the entire fire station to keep your city safe.

I don't know...
You could launch the funnel with a flick of your finger? That could be a pro if you have a cat.
Just kidding.

Enjoy a lovely day on the beach.
" This set is very nice, if you are looking for a good starting point to a lego city. After all what is a city without houses? The house is built to minfigure scale, but lacks interior space. You can also rebuild it into a small two story rambler, or a three story condominium, to fit your needs.
Pro's.
Lots of windows and doors
Good details
Tiles, poultry, barbecue, umbrella, mailbox, tree, satelite, etc.
Strong structure
Top removes without breaking
Yellow is a very nice color

Lacks interior space
Out door seating area:
Pole might bend, slick benches
Would be nice if it included a minifig, but hey you probably have a few lying around.

As you can see, NON of the cons are a sufficient reason not to buy this set. I just have to adress everything good AND bad with this set. It is a shame this set did not make it into the holiday catalog. I got it last year for Christmas, and have never stopped playing with it.
Hope this helps you buy the set!

A wonderful little addition to your collection.

LEGO Police: Police Pontoon Plane
When there's trouble on the water, the police send their seaplane to save the day. Open the side door and put the police pilot in the cockpit - now you're ready for adventure. Propellers really spin! Includes pilot minifigure! Plane measures 14" (36cm) long and has a 16" (40cm) wingspan!

Great buy.
" This plane is a great buy. The big pieces make a fast build, and are correctly sized for the plane. All the "problems" can be remedied with pieces from your own collection. It still won't float, but it is a great plane. The plane can be made custom for all your different adventures. As for the price, it's really good for all the fun you'll have with it.
