LukeWarmTea Posted February 1, 2014 I found these sets in a local store (which is crazy as NZ always gets things last) but I didn't get to buy any! My daughter, now 5 1/2, said they were for babies! While she was tempted to get Batman, she thought it would be 'too easy' and ended up with a Friends set which was quite a bit more of a challenge. I need to figure out how to get these without it upsetting her now... Any reviews up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarah Posted February 16, 2014 I am so glad the princess set is $15! I am now tempted even more to get it! YES. I had my eye on that set already. (And the pony farm). This makes it a must grab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

just2good Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Have we gotten any high-res pictures of the fire emergency? Thanks. Brick Journal has hi-res pics of all the Summer 2014 Juniors sets from the Toy Fair.

Fritzy Posted February 23, 2014 Thank you for sharing! These seem like well-priced offerings and after seeing these pics, I'm definitely interested in getting at least one. Great to know there's not a long wait before these arrive. Look forward to hearing more in the coming weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted February 23, 2014 I picked up the Police Escape Juniors set from Toys"R"Us BOGO today! Overall, this set is really fun! There's lots of nice exclusive printed pieces in this set, and even some useable exclusive recolors. The minifigures themselves aren't really impressive, though.

I think I might get since a fire station is needed in my city! Oh and by the way, you are convincing me with your good review to get this not so cheap set!

Fritzy Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks for sharing your review. The station isn't for me, but I can see why younger builders would have fun with the set. That pop-out window is one of the more neat features. Look forward to your videos on the other two Junior sets you picked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That pop-out window is one of the more neat features. Look forward to your videos on the other two Junior sets you picked up. Thanks! Here's the next one up... The set itself is a two-in-one build. Here's the first build: And the second: I think the first is much more fun than the second. There's lots of great pieces in here, and it does have a good PPP ratio ($15 for 150 pieces). Some nice pieces in here include pearl gold nose cones and tiles, that exclusive magenta/lavender slide, and the pink castle pieces! I really like this set for the pieces alone, but the build itself is pretty fun! I apologize for the lighting inconsistency, but bear with me. I'm switching out some lighting for new ones.

Fritzy Posted February 24, 2014 Nice. The value of this set seems easy to justify, given all that's included. The ladders are a bit odd, but I can't call it a lazy substitute seeing as it's designed to be an accessible, non-complex build. You're right in saying that the colour should've been more appropriate, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clone OPatra Posted March 14, 2014 Why does Leo not have the printed legs in the TMNT Juniors set? I guess that creates a 'variant,' but not a particularly desirable one. Shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toby Adams Posted March 16, 2014 Wow i have started to dig juniors! I need the police station for sure! Its so cute ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fritzy Posted April 4, 2014 In case anyone's interested, Amazon UK has two renders of the upcoming Turtles Lair. Not a major development, but still. I believe images for the Fire Emergency set were shared earlier in the thread, but here they are just in case: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob De Quatre Posted April 8, 2014 I have a 3,5 year old nephew and I was wondering if it was time for him to swich from Duplo to Lego System. Are those Junior sets fitted for young builders like him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fritzy Posted April 8, 2014 Here's a clear one: The rebuild options don't look particularly enticing, and I'm still unsure about the price point on this one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toby Adams Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I am in love with that set. Let me list why in some edits. 1.Horse. 2.Skeleton 3.Red Catapult. 4.Treasure (gold rock pieces). 5.Blue castle fronts(Where the guy with catapult is and opposite side) 6.2 Good minifigure faces on good guys.7. Gold spear.8. The outfits for good and bad is matching with the 2013 castle sets and TLM set. Edited April 8, 2014 by Toby Adams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zandergb Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) It seems like the wheel holders on the car chassis piece are separate, but attached, pieces. There's a bit of give to them if you pull them away from the body and they have molded studs that nothing can access. Has anybody had any success in separating them? I don't want to just pull and possibly break the piece. EDIT: Curiosity got the best of me. They are separate pieces, you just need to cut off the cap holding them in place. Don't cut the pole that cap was on though, as it's the only thing keeping the pieces in place when you have them on the chassis. I wonder why they're assembled like that? Surely two more pieces to add to the chassis can't be THAT difficult for the target audience. Edited April 20, 2014 by zandergb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fritzy Posted May 1, 2014 The new LEGO Store calendar for June features the Knight's Castle set on the back. If it is indeed coming out in June instead of August, then perhaps the other two — Fire Emergency and Turtle Lair — will follow suit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
