Ok, my son absolutely loves this firestation and the Fire truck that comes with it is so nice. The door on the back opens up along with a little door for some tools and the ladder goes up and down just like a real fire truck. The siren sounds great as well. Then the Fire house itself is just so nice. The ladder goes up and down, the windows open, the doors open, the men can slide down the fire pole, and they have a place to sleep. It's as authentic as you can get for a younger child's toy. We've had this since Christmas last year and my son is still playing with it very regularly.

About the price on Amazon: The firestation that we purchased said on the box, that it was a Toys R Us exclusive. So, the seller on Amazon may just be trying to take advantage of it being exclusive to one store. If Amazon were able to sell it as a store, I think there price would at least be close to Toys R Us' or even beat it. Individual sellers on Amazon can ask whatever they want for their item no matter how ridiculous it may seam. I don't agree with it, but I just wanted to, I guess defend Amazon a little. When it is actually sold by Amazon and the price is ridiculous, blame them. Otherwise, I think it's just this individual seller that is guilty. I hope this review helps=)

I agree with the other posters that Amazon's price is way out of whack with reality. We got our son this set for his second birthday at Toys-R-Us and it cost $40. Something is clearly wrong with their pricing on this item.

That being said, this review is about the quality of the product and this is one of the best fire truck toys out there. My son is obsessed with firetrucks and we wanted to get him one for his birthday. I searched online, as well evaluating at a few stores, this one is one of the most durable sets I found. While it does not look like the fire trucks in our neighborhood, looks more like an airport fire truck, my son LOVES it! It lights up and the siren is spot on to the point where I sometimes wonder if a real truck is coming down the street when I hear it from the other room. My son is a little young for the action figures and accessories, but this is by far his favorite toy and it has handled his rough play. I highly recommend it. Just purchase it somewhere else until Amazon fixes the price.

My husband just bought this with our 4 yr old son last night. My son loves it because he is totally into firemen, but I am really not impressed. The fire escape is too small for the figures to climb. The beds and computer just barely fit on the second story (the only place to really put them) and if you want the windows open they bang into the peices. For some reason, the ladder on the truck prevents the back from opening without some serious pull by an ADULT. Expect to be asked over and over and over to open the back. Compared with the castle and the batcave, I expected more to do. I did give it three stars because my boy doesn't care about these things and just loves the siren and playing with it. But, parents be warned. I would have bought some foam firestation from another store starting with K and saved $20.

My son received this for his birthday and has been playing with it non stop ever since. I think it is perfect for a child about his age -- not too many small pieces to lose, there are things to open/pull down/etc and it is DURABLE. The fire truck is his favorite part of the set with its siren and many realistic parts. We paid 39 dollars at Toys R US, so you definitely DO NOT want to buy it here for over 80.

My little boy loves his Imaginext, it is priced for value and enjoyment at Toy-R-Us very, very reasonalble. I can beleive that Amazon is pricing is so different.

I wish they made toys like this when I was a kid. We bought this for our twin boys' 3rd birthday, and they absolutely LOVE it. They play with this toy every single day and they love to be able to close it up and carry it around the house and yard to set it up in different places. It is very durable, and all the accessories are just the right scale and size for their hands and dexterity ability. Great toy, lots of fun!

This firehouse has always been a favorite of my sons. I've noticed that even little girls like to play with it too. Even after rough play for a year and a half, it is still in great shape. He got it at 2 years old. In fact, the house is even missing some screws because my son loves to take things apart, but it is still in great shape. It seems that the best toys that we get and he loves are Imaginext. One of his favorite things to do is use the trap door on top with his guys that it came with or make his guys run up and down the stairs. The fire truck that comes with it is also an incredibly durable vehicle. Yes, the back part was hard to open for him at first, but within a short while he could do it easily on his own. I expect he will continue loving this firehouse set for a long while since he continues playing with it almost every day.

It's 33% more on Amazon than a few other sites. Don't understand the big price differance. Toy is lots of fun though.

I love Imaginext toys. My son plays endlessly with the Castle and Pirate Ship. I just bought the Fire Station (less than an hour ago) at ToysRus. Now, I have always found amazon to be cheaper than ToysRus. But the Fire Station, exactly as it appears here, is only $39.99 at ToysRus. Even on the imaginext.com website, it's $44. So why in the world would it be so incredibly expensive here? The $80+ pricetag is insanity.

My son loves this toy. We just bought it the other night at Toys 'R Us, and he's been playing with it non-stop. All the Imaginext toys are very durable, with lots of things to do. The fire truck is very cool, with lights and a ladder.

I know a lot of people are complaining about the price here on Amazon, but Amazon doesn't set the price -- external sellers do. Your best bet is to pick this up at Toys R Us.
