Product Description

Brand new in the box Mega Bloks Pro Builder FDNY Firetruck. I think it was released in 2003. The box is unopened and in flawless condition. The sounds don't come out very well if at all. I think this could be due to old batteries in that these have never left the box. From what I understnd this is a discontined item and it is going to become harder and harder to find! I have a very limited supply of these and will run out soon. Please feel free to e-mail with any questions. Check our rock solid feedback and bid with confidence. Thanks for looking. This will be sent via FedEx Ground.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Fire Engine, October 24, 2002

I have built lots of sets from different brands, and overall, I've found Mega Bloks sets to be the most challenging to build and most rewarding once completed. In my judgement, the fit of the parts is better than other brands - while it takes a bit more to put the blocks together, they tend to stay together better once assembled.

Unlike the previous reviewer, I found all the parts in order. It would be helpful, however, if they put a checklist of parts bags in the instruction set so you could do a quick check to ensure all the parts were there.

The model is detailed beyond belief - a working extendable ladder, deployable jackstands, fire extinguishers and axes - it's all there. I seldom put decals on my Mega Bloks; this fire engine is really testing that practice - it demands the additional detail of the decals.

It's rugged enough that my sons play with it a lot - especially with the sound FX and lights. Some parts come off easily during play, but these are mostly detail accessories like mirrors and floodlights, and it's easy for the boys to put the parts back on.

Having said that, I must note that this kit is a challenge. Younger children may be overwhelmed, and a lot of parental supervision / help may be required. The instructions give a parts list for each step - this is very helpful because the color-coding of which parts are to be added in a step aren't always as clear as they could be. It's also necessary, at some steps, to count pegs to make sure you put the blocks in the right places - some of the instruction diagrams could be improved to make visualization of the assembly steps easier.

All in all, it's a great kit to put together.

When I first saw this fire truck for the first time,I told my mom I wanted it for Christmas. So we looked at the reviews on toysrus.com. Some reviews were good. Others were not so good. Anyway I saw that some of the reviews said there were parts missing. Others said that it did not stay together well. Now I am going to tell you the story of my truck which I recieved for Christmas. When I opened it up I was happy to see that there were no parts missing. So I started to build. I guess that review was wrong for my truck! I worked for 3 days straight on it . Then I got to a part where I had to push hard. It broke into a million pieces!! Finally After saving the parts I could I started to rebuild. Finally I finished but it is so fragile. It does not hold together well. Right now it is standing ok but I don't touch it very much cause I'm afraid it will break. I am pleased with how it looks.Buy it only if you have patience!

I have been watching this firetruck for a while,the price you offered in september was a super price. I collect fire toys as a hobby and this firetruck was not only detailed, but a challange to get it together with instruction. I'm please to see mega blocks go into vehicles with the quality and detail they do. My firetruck kit I would say this is one to get for your kids for there collection! Firefighter Erwin Walker.
