LEGO City Police 60047 Police Station

My five year old son got this from Santa and he literally worked on it for hours everyday until it was finished. We'd have to coax him out of his room for mealtimes and breaks. Now I can't say for sure if this is a good thing or not but he was obviously obsessed and engaged with building it. All in all the set is cool and comes with a lot of fun stuff including prison cells with potties. There's a cool observation tower, a helicopter, a motorcycle and a vehicle or two. It comes with a lot of parts and we found it for a fantastic price on Amazon just before Christmas :) It was retailing for $125 at the big toy store and we got it for $40 less so keep your eyes open for a good deal unless you like throwing away money.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my 6 year old after MONTHS of him begging for it every time we went shopping. He was so excited when he tore off that wrapping paper and saw it! Although it's a great set and he absolutely loves it, I do think it's too complicated for a newly turned 6 year old (luckily mine has an awesome almost 8 year old brother to help him). Between the two of them, it took a few days to assemble everything, but they did it without adult help! It's home is on a shelf in their bedroom, but they get it down frequently to play with it. Which, by the way, I think is great. They have about 4,087 Lego sets (maybe exaggerating a little, but they have a ton!). This is one of only a few that I've witnessed them actually playing with after it's built. They both love it!

My son loves all things Legos, including the building blocks, books, games, television shows, and movies. As a matter of fact, he just had his sixth birthday a couple of weeks ago, and every item on his birthday wishlist was of the Lego brand. This set, the Lego City Police Station was at the very top of his list. He absolutely LOVES it! He, his dad, and his sister had a blast building it, and now that it's done he loves playing with it. As a parent, I love Legos too. They are a great creative outlet for kids, keeps them entertained, and bolsters their imagination!

WOW! My son received this for his 6th birthday and absolutely loved it. I did have to help him a little with the building - for a 6 year old, it will probably require some help - but together we did it (mostly him building and me only as a guide). The overall built product is a little smaller than I had expected, but he really loves it and now plays with it all the time. I think it is nice to find a toy that he can build and also enjoy playing with after the "construction" is complete. True to Lego style - this is an excellent product with really cool features!

We started out small with our 6 and 3 year old boys. Now we have this set waiting in the wings for Christmas. Little did I know how much they would grow to love Lego! We are also going to have to build a corner play table their playroom to accommodate all the Lego we have gotten them and also what others have given to them as gifts. I now understand the draw to this product. So cleverly designed and fun. The instructions make these sets so much fun to put together. My 6 year old can put these together himself but I hope he lets me help him put this one together. I know our boys will enjoy this for hours and hours just as they have all of the Lego sets. Lego never gets old for them and they are constantly creating new things and thinking of better ways to build. Overall great for their imaginations and sparks hours of creativity. You can't go wrong with Lego!

This is a nice set for a gift, its quite easy to build and the final result is suitable for playin with it, even in "extreme" mode. City from Lego is evolving quite well.

My son absolutely loves to build Leggos, however once they are built, he puts the toy on a shelf and never touches it again. He is also very territorial, and forbids anyone else to fool with them as well. My boy found this set online, and has been saving his money to buy the Police Station. When the box arrived, he ripped it open and sat at the table building this set for 7 hours. He did stop to eat and watch something that caught his interest on TV, but not any breaks longer than about 10 minutes at a time. Upon completion, he was so proud. So was I, that's a lot of hard work and determination for a 6 year old to finish a Leggo set with 854 pieces that is geared to 6-12 year olds. The next day, not only did he play with his set, he let his sister play along with him. He is now saving to buy the fire station. This works for me....it's not hard to get him to do his chores at all when he is saving for something he desires so badly.

My son has loved this set. He saved his money and bought this set last summer. He could following the directions and put it together by himself. He was 9.5 then. He has since rebuilt this set multiple times, created his own alternate versions, and used various pieces from this set to add to pieces from other sets to create his own projects. He really liked the handcuffs, the secret escape routes, and the funny toilets. This has been a great set to add to his lego collection.
