Advantages: It does entertain those who like contructing

Disadvantages: Not that useful after the initial station is completed

The Lego Franchise is a multi-national Toys Company, However the toys It produces are un-made and require the buyer to join certain pieces together in order to produce a model/toy.
The Model I am reviewing is :
7945 - Lego City Fire Station
This station is an addition to the lego city collection. The station includes the following:

260 pieces
3 Minifigure fire fighters
1 Emergency Fire truck
1 Fire Chief Car
Also Extra Fire fighting equipment
Buildable Fire Station

I bought the station in an Bid to improve my creativity as I was constantly told by co-workers. So I went to my Local toys r us and purchased it for £40. This paticular model is in my opinion, second best to the lego police station, which for ten pounds more includes more mini figures and 3 vehicles.
The Station is made up of three buildings, one being the garage, which can be raised and lowered to fit the Emergency truck.
The Second being the Main Station and the third being another smaller garage to fit the Lego fire car.

For maximum benifit however I would recommend buying both the lego city Police station and Fire Station as both combines, you can make up little stories with children as I did.

The time it takes to build a station however is phenomenal, it takes me roughly 3 days(on the trot) to make the station - as it requires a lot of thought and concentration.
Also the Lego Emergency truck does include one very cool feature, as on a normal truck you get a ladder which raises up approximately 40cm, but I did get stuck making the ladder along the way.

As the product was made in 2008 there can be a shortage of stock in some places, I experienced this as I had travelled to three different stores before purchasing online.
However after The station is made, There isn't a lot to do. You could buy another set of Lego or you can make stories up. But the Entertainment value does suddenly drop after you have completed the station.

So overall it does give you something to do for a couple of days, but depending on if you are reusing it then it won't be entertaining after the first days.

I would recommend to those who need to kill time at home

Thanks for reading

Summary: A good product - not a must buy
