Wow!
This Fire Truck really, really, really looks like a fire truck! The front of it is probably the coolest part, if you take it off and give it to someone they'll know it belongs on a fire truck. It has two firemen, fire tools, a shiny silver helmet (Only available in this set) and it is very durable. There are lots of very useful parts on this fire truck too so if you ever...

not much fun for a five-year old
I had to put the pieces together and my five-year old played a little while and some pieces fall apart, he struggled a while to put them together and failed. Now he no longer touches these. He loves cars and loves play legoes, but this one may be too much for him. It took me quite bit time to put them together in the first place.

Lego never failed me, January 9, 2007
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
If you read my reviews about the Lego products, you will see that I repeated my self on all of them, and that is because these people never fail to amaze me with new product lines. City line is for youngsters ( I bought it to a 7 y/o). He is having fun with it, and I think I won't be having trouble finding a gift for any coming occasions. People please believe me when I tell you, that I played with legos when I was young, and now my both boys are playing with their products too... Do Not Buy Another Building Products Other Than LEGO.

QUALITY TOY!, September 4, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
My son went through the entire Lego website to pick out which Lego he wanted to purchase with his own money. He is a 6 year old who took a Lego engineering summer camp, where he learned to build all kinds of cool Lego figures. This is the kit he decided upon and let me tell you, he plays with it everyday for hours at a time. He would rather play with Legos than watch tv, which in today's world is fantastic. He not only put together the entire kit himself, but takes it apart and makes new figures out of the pieces. Some of the pieces are rather small, so he has needed my help snapping them together, but overall he is able to read the directions and put the pieces together independently. He is constantly showing me something new he has built. What a great use of imagination and creativity! He is already looking forward to buying his next kit.

I love it!, January 28, 2008
A Kid's Review
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
I just got this for my 5th birthday and I love it! I put this set together mostly by myself and the directions are easy to follow with mommy and daddy's help. I like that it doesn't fall apart unless I want to take it apart. I like that this set comes with three things to build. The ladder is easy to snap back on if it comes off. I love all my Lego sets and recommend Legos! - Ian, 5.
Mommy's note: highly recommend Legos to help teach your child the importance of following directions (step-by step instruction manual) and helps to increase fine motor skills (fairly easy snap together construction). And a fun time to spend together as a family!

Great Fire Truck, December 30, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
This is the Best Fire Truck Lego Has made, I loved it so much I ordered a 2nd. Although this is more half fire truck and half utility truck it is still a cool truck. The first truck I have I kept as Lego intended, the second I turned into a non-ladder truck with pieces from other sets, and used the other ladder section for a utility truck. The recue trailer was a cool bonus, the boat looks liek a Navy Seal's Zodiac Raft, Too Bad Lego has discontinued this product It is a nice platform for building all sorts of Fire/Rescue trucks as well as other cool trucks.

Another fun LEGO set, but not as sturdy as it should be, June 3, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
Since he thoroughly enjoyed the LEGO City Off Road Fire Rescue (7942) set, we decided to see how he did with the larger Lego City Fire Truck. The set has 214 pieces and when completed includes a full-sized fire truck, trailer, a small boat, a pair of fully-equipped firefighters and related gear.
Complexity: My son is only 4, so I was the one building this set. My son was able to assemble simple elements like the wheels and some of the decorative external pieces, plus of course the firefighter figures. I found this to be a very simple set to assemble.
Playability: Unlike the Off Road Fire Rescue vehicle, the Lego City Fire Truck isn't as durable as I'd hoped. The ladder in particular, while a totally cool feature, falls off if you look at it too hard. Naturally that frustrated my son, as it's not an easy fix for younger builders. The side supports tend to snap off a lot as well. The lack of side doors is also a negative, as it means taking off the roof and windshield when you want to get the firefighter in and out of the truck.
While I enjoyed building this set with my son and he does enjoy playing with it, I think the Lego City Fire Truck may be more effective as a display piece than as a playable toy.

Legp Fire Truck gives hours of fun, January 30, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
My nine-year old grandson is a great Lego fan amd there are ,many fire fighters in his mother's extended family. He hugely enjoyed putting this together and after a while, the pieces will be recycled into some other creative and exciting Lego project. I highly recommend this item and other Lego creations (the more pieces the better) as a non-video game alternative that is engrossing and (excuse the expression) an educational activty that promtores thinking and good eye-hand coordination.

Lego Fire Truck, January 9, 2010
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: LEGO City Fire Truck (7239) (Toy)
The fire truck is easy to assemble. My 6 year old received it as a Christmas present this year. He has had a lot of fun playing with it. The instructions are easy to follow. The lego creation also holds together well. It does not fall apart easily when bumped as some other lego creations do.
