My daughter decided that she would love some Lego and since me and her dad had both loved Lego as kids we thought yeah why not. I was worried with her only being 5 when we bought this that she may be a bit too young to work out the full point of Lego I had visions of her opening the box and wanting it built immediately to get playing however I was wrong as she actually liked the building part the most. I nearly hit the floor when we went out to buy it when I seen the price, she decided she wanted the police station and it cost £70.00.


Lego is basically tiny little bricks and pieces which fit into each other to build a variety of different things. I can remember when I was little and I used to have a massive bucket of Lego which consisted of boards, windows and doors to make houses plus heads to make people and wheels to make cars. Lego provided hours of entertainment for me although I don't remember having any themed Lego as you tend to get these days including police stations, fire stations, garage exc.


The Lego comes in a huge blue box that displays a picture of the built police station on the front. The box gives all the details needed including that this is from the Lego city collection and is for children aged 6-12.


My daughter had her heart set on this one but again she was only 5 and the 6-12 age rating seemed like it was going to be too hard for her. By looking at the instructions and the pictures my daughter managed to build this police station all by herself and I couldn't believe it. I also couldn't believe the size of it. Due to the box being rather big I couldn't believe how small the actual station was so once assembled it is very hard to play with.


Once built the police station has a ground floor which has real lifting garages where a police car can be parked. The bottom floor also contains some rooms that can be used for evidence and interrogation. Stairs lead up to the next floor which contains the jails and a third side area which had a helicopter pad on the top.


Lego is a well-known make so you know that you are getting quality goods however I personally feel that for the price you hardly get anything for your money. My daughter loves building the station then taking it back down and building it again her own way so it looks different eveytime and I must admit it has provided hours of entertainment but for the price this isn't something you could buy if it wasn't really an occasion.
