A great Star Wars set
" It took two full evenings to sort and assemble this set. It is a huge set! When they say age 14+, they mean it. This set has some interesting building techniques.
The dropship connects easily to the transport. Although, it's a bit tricky now and then. Booth vehicles are well designed, and hold up to play nicely.
At a per brick price of over 14 cents the set is a little over priced. "

Cute Bunny
" My niece bugged me until I purchased this for her. I'm holding on to it until Easter. It's only about eight inches tall, but very cute. This will make any Lego fan a great Easter gift.

Challenging and fun
" We spent two full evenings putting this set together. I purchased it mainly because I wanted to see how it worked. The design is very nice and any Lego fan will find it interesting they way it's assembled. I would highly recommend having two people work on this. There are lots of repetitive areas they may be taxing for a single person.
I converted mine over to a Christmas theme and it looks great with Christmas train and Toy Shop. I also added a small booth to cover the motor and make it a little quieter.
At just under 8 cents a brick it's a good price. "

A good value
" This set really gives you a lot for your money. Normally if you pay $2.00 a minifig it's a good deal. Here your paying just over $1.60. You get a good variety for any town setting, medical staff, firemen, policemen, airplane pilots, road crew, cook, waiter, plus a bunch of everyday minifigs to populate your city.
There are a lot of accessories as well. Every minifig has something, and some have two items. This set is a quick way to make your town/city come to life, not only with minifigs, but all the little things that make it seem more realistic. "

A super set
" This was a delightful surprise. It went together quick and easy. Twenty minutes and you'll be pushing this little dozer across the table.
It has lots of great parts, tracks, gears, beams, the works. The mini bulldozer looks great sitting next to my big motorized one.
At 6 cents per brick, this is a good way to add some nice parts to your collection. "

An excellent set
" I went right for the tow truck version of this set. It took a little over two hours to build and was a lot of fun. I planned on taking it apart and making the crane as well. But once I had the tow truck built I liked it so much I just had to leave it together. It's large and very realistic, and has some great features.
If you buy this set to build the Highway Transport, I would suggest getting the Street Speeder (6743) as well.
This set has a per brick price of just under 7 cents. This would be a great set to buy more than one of for parts. "

LEGO Atlantis - Water Gun
Fill up the tank with water, clip it to your waist, and soak away! Pistol attached by hose to tank

Good for younger kids
" This is not a "Super soaker" type squirt gun. It wont shoot 20 feet, or knock your hat off.
That said it's a great squirt gun for younger kids. They can easily open and fill the tank on their own. It quickly connects to the waist band of their pants. The big trigger is easy to pull and sprays a fair amount of water. If you want to send the kids out to have some fun and don't want them running to you to refill it, or put it back together every five minutes, this is the squirt gun your looking for. "

Loads of fun
" This set looks nice with the rest of my town Lego. It has lots of detail, and assembled in just under an hour. I think a five year old would need some help.
Once together this boat has a ton of playability! The water canons all move. The minifig on the "fire fighting boom" is such a cool and fun feature. The ships haul has a unique design, giving it a wide base. The inside area is nicely detailed as well. There's lots of extras, dingy, life vests, coffee cups. Just a great all around set. Don't let the per brick price of over 16 cents scare you, this set is worth it! "

Great Minifig
" Manta warrior is a great minifig. With our without his mask he looks good. I haven't had the same problem with his trident as others, but I've only used him for display.
And yes, I think the rock thing is a bit silly.

Not the best
" My two nephews bought one each. With in an hour one had the end ripped off and the other had some slight damage to it. I had purchased the sword and shield for them both, and they have stood up much better to play.
