*Lego City 7741

My son has now moved on from Thomas the tank engine and seems settled on Lego, It possibly due to that large variety of Lego available.

**I am reviewing Lego City 7741 which is the Police helicopter**

If you want to read any of the history of the Lego company I have included there link at the bottom of this review for you.

**Assembling**

This is the part that all children and adults alike enjoy very much, this particular product is aimed at age 5 and over.

When you open the box for your child, you will be pleased to see easy to follow instructions. I tend to pour all the pieces on to a tray to stop them going missing and then turn them all over the correct way so it is easy for my son to follow.

As your child works the way through the book he/she will soon be holding a helicopter.

What I really like about the Lego Company is that they include easy following instructions for children and in addition to that there large and clear picture on the front of the box really helps the child too.
Assemble time is approximately 20 minutes and your child will have hours of fun with it.

There are a total of 94 pieces within this set.

**What has my child just built**

You know as a parent it's so good to see your loved one follow instructions step by step and then have a Police Helicopter which is 18cms in length and making all sort of noises, the helicopter comes with its own police man who doubles up as a pilot. It's just unfortunate that the helicopter does not make the siren noise as my son is always running about with the helicopter in his hands shouting "NeeNaw NeeNaw". The fantastic thing is that the blades actually spin around for real adding to more enjoyment for the little ones.

**Design and overall opinion**

I have to say that Lego have really done well in the market, the design of this product makes it suitable for children over the age of 5, now I believe that there is no upper limit as many adults still enjoy Lego to this day. I like that fact that all Lego's sets mix with each other really well. The box they all come is in recyclable and to be honest I tend to ensure that my son keeps hold of the box, so when he wants to dismantle he knows how to assemble it next time.

Another good thing is that all the set's mix and match so what that means if you do not want to make the actual item you have bought you can simply build a bigger and better item. I really think Lego encourages children to use there imagination. Kids will be happy for hours when playing with either of these sets.

Please remember that Lego is relatively small and children can easily choke on small parts, so if your child is one that enjoys eating all sorts then I would recommend that you watch your child when playing with this item.

**Price and availability**

Lego.com and Retails at £8.79
Amazon - £7.75
Ebay - £7.99

It's worth shopping around as there are some good deals on Lego at present.
