With the City Train Starter Set, kids can operate the commuter trains that bring mommy and daddy to and home from work. As a part of Lego’s City line, which lets younger kids imaginatively explore the devices and roles they see in our civic life, this set comes with 501 pieces and a three-channel wireless remote-controlled motor that operates in seven forward and seven reverse speeds. The remote controls the engine from distances of up to 10 feet. The first instruction booklet details engine car construction in 23 steps. Additional instructions detail construction of the passenger car and caboose in 19 and 21 steps, respectively. The completed model features windows, passenger seating and an LED at the front of the engine car that lights up when moving. The set also includes two passenger minifigs and a conductor. Inside the box you’ll find four numbered parts bags, 20 track pieces, 2 6×24 flats, two molded plastic car ends, remote control, power brick, two electrical connectors, and a sheet of decals. Numbered parts bags make it easier to build the set in stages since the numbers correspond to discreet sections of the building diagrams. Also included is an illustrated block inventory with part numbers, in case you ever need to re-order a replacement block. Between the engine and remote, the set requires 10 AA-size batteries, which are not included. The set’s track pieces will connect for a roughly two-by-three foot oval track. You can make larger, more complicated tracks with the separately sold Lego City Straight and Curved Rails Set. –Porter B. Hall

Explore Lego Town History
This special anniversary set comes complete with a letter from Lego owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, the grandson of Lego’s founder. The company’s “belief in the unlimited possibilities of play” and dedication to producing the best possible toys is highlighted by this huge, intricate set.

Redesigned to include modern bricks and details, this 1950’s town center includes a gas station with a car wash, a movie theatre, and the town hall building. There are eight Lego mini-figures, classic cars, corner light fixtures, and a fountain to place in the town square. Collectors are sure to notice the inclusion of unique Lego elements and bricks in rare colors.

Bringing the Town to Life
With 35 bags containing 1,981 pieces and two large instruction booklets, the Town Plan set took our eight-year-old Lego tester about 12 hours to build. Like with all Lego sets, the instructions include here provide colorful step-by-step images that make it fairly easy for any diligent builder to create the detailed town buildings and vehicles. We did have about 20 left-over pieces at the end of construction, which puzzled our tester.

While it may seem like this mature set is designed to appeal to adults, our young tester immediately found lots of different ways to have fun with it. The cinema got a big thumbs up for having cool, realistic details like popcorn at the concession stand and a movie on the screen. The moving garage door and the scrubbers in the car wash were big hits, too.

The rooms inside Town Hall are a little small, which limits Lego figures who want to move around. This pushed lots of play out into the open area around the fountain. The three gold bricks in the fountain add a unique touch to this particular set. The one minor complaint that surfaced in our testing was that the flowers and vegetation “planted” around the Town Hall failed to stay securely attached when moving pieces around.

Overall, this is an expansive town set that promises lots of creative construction projects. With so many people and buildings, and more than one vehicle, this Town is a great pick for a single creative builder or cooperative play with friends and siblings. Additionally, with its unique 1950’s vibe, this town is set to inspire fun, interactive play between parents or grandparents and kids. Odds are, you’ll even find yourself driving the vintage car through the wash after your children have gone to bed–it’s that cool.
