cancelCons
- It's a bit pricey, but like I said, you get what you pay for.
- The instructions can be a bit tricky to follow, especially for younger kids.
- Some of the pieces can be a bit small and easy to lose.
- It's not as big as some of the other Lego sets out there, but it's still a decent size.

Editor's Summary
My kid's been obsessed with Lego since his birthday party last year. This Fire Rescue Off-Roader set is a solid addition to our collection - it's got cool vehicles, detailed mini-figures, and a good amount of play value. Plus, it's built to last, which is a must for any toy. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, right?
Specifications
I've gotta say, my kid's favorite thing is Lego. We're gonna need a bigger storage unit just for all the Lego sets our older son's accumulated since his birthday party. Right now, they're all crammed into a box from the Classic set.
Our kid got the Lego City Fire Rescue Off-Roader about a year ago, when he was 4. At the time, it was a bit tricky to assemble, but he was still really into it. What's great about Lego is that it's not just about building, it's also about playing with the finished product.
It comes in a cardboard box with plastic bags containing the pieces and instructions.
The instructions are super simple and easy to follow. Each step is clearly laid out, and there's even a window showing you which pieces to find and where to put them.
There are 97 pieces in total, plus a few extra that we didn't need.
The set includes two main elements: the fire truck and the tree with a cat that needs to be rescued. The tree is pretty easy to assemble, it takes just a few minutes.
To lure the cat out of the tree, the set comes with a fishing rod with a fish on the end. Although the tree and the fire truck seem pretty small, the fire truck can still reach the cat using just a ladder.
The fire truck is a bit trickier to assemble, and it's definitely more suitable for kids aged 5 and up.
The wheels are movable, and the truck is super realistic. Overall, the toy is really well-made, and Lego has done an excellent job as usual. After a year, nothing's broken, and the paint on the truck's hood still looks great.
Instead of a trunk, the fire truck has a compartment with a lid. We use it to store extra water pistol cartridges. We actually got two of these, which is super convenient, especially since the water pistol is functional. When you press the button, a semi-transparent blue disc flies off in some unknown direction, and we all have to search for it together.
I highly recommend the Lego City Fire Rescue Off-Roader. It's an engaging and high-quality toy from a well-known brand. Once assembled, the pieces don't come apart, and you can play with it just like a regular, non-assembly toy. It's essentially two toys in one: a constructor and a fully functional playset.
