Essentail Coast Guard Tower
" This Coast Guard Tower took some time to build, it has a fantastic design and some brilliant use of unusual pieces. The elevated supported platform works very well. Plenty of space to get your hands in and play. The Float Helicopter is good fun and the detail like the elevating platform to transfer employees to the water level is simple and effective. The crane works well on this model and the floating marker buoys are great fun. If you have the larger helicopter in this range it is easy to make the helicopter landing pad a bit bigger to support it. Overall a brilliant platform to rescue all those "IN NEED" minifigures. Simply Brilliant. Would recommend to everyone.

Fantastic Helicopter and Raft
" Hopefully Lego will get some more of these as it has just sold out. The set itself is Brilliant. The helicopter design is technically correct to the real thing. The self winding winch is ingenious for its size. It could do with being a little more powerful. The emergency raft is spot on. Great use of regular bricks in an unusual way. As a whole, this set is worth finding and getting a few if you can. You can also swap the orange large fuselage pieces with the current transport planes dark grey pieces for a different military look. Great fun to hand woosh around the room!!

Fantastic Value and Great Fun
" The Lego container stacker is essential for the City Harbour. You have to rearrange all of those precious cargo containers to just the right area. As with all Lego you can modify the set if you want or leave it as it is. The reach of the boom could be a little longer when fully extended but how far do you go? Overall this set is superb value for money. We have several just for the additional containers. Great fun hiding the stolen treasure in those crates. Hope the Lego Police don't find them!!!

Great Value
" Lego has surpassed themselves with this very large and impressive set. Load up the containers and set sail to new ports. You get so much here, a real floating ship, great in the bath or pool, a lovely delivery van and a great crane for moving all the precious cargo. The dock makes a great platform to play on. Watch out for stow aways and smugglers. Combined with the Coast Guard sets for even more fun. Buy a few sets and challenge international shipping ports world wide! The play value of this set is brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

A New Toy Every Day
" These advent calenders are fantastic. Packed with several new unseen pieces, they expand your collection brilliantly. Our family love receiving these on the 1st of December. This year Lego have produced Castle and City calenders. We couldn't decide which ones to buy so we bought both for them all! Young and old you will love these sets, not too pricey as you do get a new toy every day for 25 days of the holiday season. Better than chocolate because the fun lasts for years.

Classic Lego Film Moment
" The play value of this set is great. Can Indy get away from the rolling rock? Great fun to build, you never know where the build will take you. Little secret bits make the end result brilliant. I won't spoil it!
The float Plane is excellent. It could almost fly on it's own. More sets like this please Lego. "

Lost Tomb Great Value
" This is such a great set that I bought a few. The pieces are great and the design of the statues and the covenant are really cool. So small and so much detail. Lego fans have waited a long time for Indiana based sets and this is a classic. Combine a few of them and you get a great stage for hours of fun. Fantastic price for all of those rare colours. Jonny Thunder was the stand in for adventure but now he has been replaced with the real Indiana Jones. Maybe Jonny Thunder will turn out to be Indiana's new arch enemy. It's great to combine the old and the new sets, as with all Lego add more pieces and change what you like for the ultimate play experience. This set is fantastic as it is. More sets like this please Lego.
Outstanding ! "

Classic LEGO at its BEST
" This Lego set made me smile all the way, I was amazed at the design, so much so that it took a long time to even open the box! The design of the truck and the jeep is fantastic. Plenty of scope to add extra Lego pieces if you want to change things. I certainly wouldn't bother changing anything. This set stands alone along with many other great sets. I did buy a few of these and now have a great fleet. So many baddies and that classic film moment can be recreated when Indy has to climb underneath the truck. Brilliant colours and rare pieces. A great addition to the Indiana set and also Fantastic vehicle designs. More like this please Lego.
