LEGO City Missions Sets Review
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. The LEGO Group has been playing with ‘fluid play experiences’ with varying success. LEGO City Missions isn’t in the same vein as Hidden Side or VIDIYIO. Its roots are very much set in the traditional play arena. I’ve had the...
60326: LEGO City Picnic In The Park Set Review
LEGO® City is not all about rampant crime and arson, each year the evergreen theme does throw up a few surprises. It seems the LEGO City Design Team have hit upon a killer app so to speak – animals. After the wildlife-themed sets from last Summer, the latest sets introduce Squirrels and kittens. With one particular set, Picnic in the Park, being the perfect mix of price and new pieces. Oddly this little set is hard to come by in...
60324: LEGO City Mobile Crane Set Review
Each year as the new sets are slowly revealed, either official or not, I decide what I wouldn’t mind buying. Sometimes new parts or Minifigures play a role in my decisions. Then I see a retailer selling sets early and end up buying stuff I hadn’t planned to. I have to admit that’s the case with this set. However, after building it, I’m glad I picked it up as it’s a fun build and it has plenty of play...
LEGO City Stuntz Stunt Bikes Review
The LEGO® City theme has been home to various element innovations over the years. Be they inclusive parts such as the wheelchair or guide dog harness or action elements such as magnets or net guns, many others pass under the radar. The latest new addition to the LEGO range is a flywheel-powered bike, which forms the basis of the LEGO City Stuntz sub-theme. This features a number of larger playsets as well as a series of collectable...
60307: Wildlife Rescue Camp Set Review
For the final review of the LEGO® City Wildlife Rescue sets, it’s time to take a look at what’s technically the largest of the four boxed sets. I say technically as it’s the most expensive of the Wildlife Rescue sets but features fewer parts than the Wildlife Rescue Operation set. But what it lacks in overall parts, it more than makes up for with animal figures, play features and an appearance from another LEGO City...
60302: Wildlife Rescue Operation Set Review
After the two smaller Wildlife Rescue sets, the last two are far more interesting, with more to build, more Minifigures and most importantly more animals. One of the larger LEGO® City Wildlife Rescue sets is Wildlife Rescue Operation. What’s interesting about this set is the use of new road plates, as well as including a group of animals, some of which are only found in this set. But how do all these elements combine and do they...
