60371: Emergency Vehicles HQ Set Review
It’s common knowledge that the LEGO® City range has a liking for sets based on the police and fire rescue. Even with the theme branching out to include plenty of interesting new things, there’s still room for fire engines and police vans.

60389: Custom Car Garage Set Review
It’s fair to say that until recently, LEGO® City sets were quite pedestrian and churned out the similar sets on a yearly basis. Then the LEGO City Adventures TV series came along.

After taking a look at the LEGO® City Missions experience it’s now time to take a look at each of the sets. There are three different Missions sets each themed around a different aspect of LEGO City life including police, space and wildlife rescue. The build experience for the sets is unlike usual LEGO City sets. In place of an instruction booklet, the build is guided by an interactive story with an emphasis on getting creative...
Hands-on With LEGO City Missions
A few weeks ago a new play experience was revealed called LEGO® Missions. This unique interactive experience ‘ditches’ traditional instructions for a story-driven adventure.
