Great helicopter
" The set went together easy, and stays together during play. The helicopter is larger than it looks in the picture. It has the new nose from the airplane sets. It really looks nice. The little truck with winch adds great play value. The age group for this set is 5+ years, I think that's a little low. You would need to help them if you buy it for a five year old. The per brick price is good.

LEGO Vehicles - Tractor with Log Loader
No logging job is too big for this impressive log loader! Use the control knob to steer the tractor to the trailer, then hitch them up! Take control of two pneumatic-like valves to operate the fully-articulated crane arm and pick up the log with the working grabber. Realistic and functional! 2-in-1 model rebuilds into a rugged log handler vehicle. Features tractor with steering and log loader trailer that can be unhitched from the tractor! Log loader features two pneumatic-like valves that control the articulated crane arm! Add compressor function by purchasing 8293 LEGO Power Functions Motor Set! 2 models in 1: rebuilds into a log handler!

Fun set to build
" I assembled the set without any problems. The tractor was a fun build with cool steering. The log loader was not designed to lift heavy loads. The pneumatics don't lift until their pumped a number of times, and then they're jerky. When you release the air they drop to fast (with heavy loads).
I rebuilt the set into the Log Handler. A bit odd looking but a very nice model. The arm is a little better designed and it can rotate the load. The per brick price is very good and it has a lot of good Technic parts.

Nice little set
" The set went together very quickly and without problems. It's a nice set with lots of swoosh factor. The two minifigs are great. The space police commando minifig has the new helmet not found anywhere else (I don't believe).
Downside, a little pricey for the parts you get, and the use of stickers for even the instrument tile.

Buzz rocks
" I purchased this set just for the Buzz lightyear and Woody minifigs. RC was a quick build, under ten minutes. The pull back motor works great and added to the set.
Per brick price is a little high.

New and improved, maybe.
" A fun set to build, should be easy to assemble for anyone in the listed age bracket. Lots of playability. It's bigger than the 7110 set, the original Landspeeder, and comes with more minifigs. Still not sure if it's better.
The left engine is suppose to be in need of repair, but it looks funny on the set, I replaced it to match the other. And there's no place for R2D2 on the back.
Over all a good set..

A great set
" The set was fun and easy to build. It went together without any problems. If your child is below the recommended age of 7 they will need some help.
Buzz is sturdy and stayed together well. He can be placed in lots of different poses. There are plenty of places you can connect additional parts to. Lots of playability.
The set is a good value parts wise, and I would choose this one over the construct a Zurg.

Quick build
" The set went together very quickly, ten minutes or so. It does fall apart pretty easy while playing with it. I took it apart and used the pieces for a tanker car in my train set. The per brick price is very high. I would choose the construct-a-buzz set over this one.
Very cool little alien minifig.

Good for beginners
" This is a very nice, little house. Lots of detail on the outside, water faucet, plants etc. Little to no detail on the inside. It went together quickly and was fun. A child of six, might need some help with parts of it.
The set seems to be a starter set. Introducing young lego builders to house construction. Once it's together play is limited by how small it is, and the lack of detail inside. The parts you get are great and the number of houses you can make are endless. The per brick price is lower than average. A good parts set...

Nice battle pack
" Four minifigs and a ton of extras! Buying several of these is a great idea to build your rebel army. The speeder has enough great parts to reuse in other projects.
