A fun and challenging build with my son
" For a 3-1 set this was head and shoulders above most of the sets released under the title recently. My son found it at the LEGO store and at first I was hesitant, he is 5, and this set appeared quite complex. Luckily I grabbed it on sale at Walmart and so began the frustrations and elation of being 5 again.
At first glance when we poured the pieces out, it appeared quite daunting, the beginning of the build is almost all technic pieces and important structure build. After about 4 hours of on and off building, he became so frustrated he proclaimed, "I'm never building LEGO again!" I wasn't surprised, this was a complicated system, thankfully I agreed to build the frame, and he could watch, and when it came time to flesh out the exterior, I would hand over the reigns. He absolutely loved finishing this set, so many cool designs came to light, the engine, doors, the interior, he was flabbergasted that all of this somehow came from boring ol' technic.
When the finishing tiles were put in place is when this set truly shines. There was a good half hour of zooming, swooshing, racing, and obligatory opening of the doors a gazillion times. Never once did this set waiver, multiple head on collisions with the wall testify as much.
Amazing job LEGO, you really knocked this set out of the park.

A fun and rewarding build with my son
" When I first got a look at the new mountain police online I wasn't convinced, however my son absolutely loved the characters and fun look, and my wife absolutely had to get log man. This set has a lot of cool surprises making it a great build with others, it also boasts some pieces for the collection.
Pros: Nothing repetitive to build and the set always had another layer to construct which my son loves. You get some awesome Minifigures and cool color bricks. Last but not least you have many hours in play value with all the scenes to reanact and stories to tell.
Cons: As with all City sets the price always seems out of proportion, although with most City you do end up with a good amount of cool pieces. Net launcher is still a mystery to me, and I wish we could have built another cool off road bad guy truck instead of a helicopter, well that is what my son said.
Verdict: A great addition to the Police line, and once you have the pieces on the table the value really shows.
And log man!!!
