**Lego City 8401 Minifigure Collection**

If your child likes Lego then this is something that will be well received by them, this set can be added on to any current set to enhance the child's enjoyment whilst playing.

I am reviewing Lego City 8401 which is the mini set of people and posts

This is now my third review of a Lego product and as always I will include a link to the Lego website at the bottom of the review to allow you to obtain more information on Lego.

**Assembling**

Firstly parents this particular product is aimed at children over the age of 5, Even if your child is over 5 I would always recommend you supervise them when assembling.

This set is different from the rest as it has many little items to be made up; when you open the box as usual you will have a very colour full instruction booklet which will detail how to assemble all parts.
Before too long your child will soon have 11 different item which they have just assembled and then that when the fun begins.

The set comprises of - 4 new people, ranging from a police officer to who my sons calls old granny.

Other items include: Water hydrant, traffic lights, speed limit sign, bench, and a fantastic life like stereo (No sound)

Assemble time is approximately 20 minutes and your child will have hours of fun with these items, adding them to there current collection of Lego.

There are a total of 60 pieces within this set.

**Play Time**

When this set is completely assembled, your child can soon have there on city on your living room floor, I strongly believe that these additional sets really allow the child to use their imagination to create their own little world out of Lego.

My son can sit for hours, changing the design and lay out of his Lego from a road to a full city and all in between.

**Design and overall opinion**

As I have said in all my Lego review, I am a firm believer that Lego has studied the market and release sets to which will sell well. Lego have really thought about all aspects of the city set. There instructions are very easy to follow and not to mention that all boxes and bags with the small boxes are recyclable.

This set is very small in size, they are easily stood on and that will create one unhappy child. When the products are assembled it is normal to have 5 spares pieces this is just in case you lose any. It's always worth while holding on to them

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 £6.85
Amazon - £5.43

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