News LEGO Juniors 2014 News & Discussion

[Laphroag]

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?

At least the smallest ones will be. I "tested" it on my oldest son (soon to be 4). Bought him the Spiderman set and he managed to build it with some help. I picked out the pieces for each step and he put them together. He ended up MODing it a bit, but that is what Lego is for.

Got the Fire Emergency set from TRU today.

Eh, not too special of a set. I'd say go with the Police Station- it's the same as this but with most aspects (minifigures, pieces, and design) being better.

Thanks for the review. Based on some of your points, it'd be more reasonable for the police set to be the same price. I think if this set got the same treatment as the castle set, it would've made for better value (cost and play). As is, I wonder how this will fare on the market against its closest counterpart, the LEGO City Starter Set.

Were you able to find the Turtles Lair after all?

Thanks for watching! I have the set in hand- review coming soon!

And... here it is!

I love this set! There's some great pieces (the olive greens and that awesome printed 2x2 subway sign tile in particular), and the build itself is a really nice addition to the TMNT line. I also like the choice of including the normal Leo in this set!

Thanks for that. I'll probably wait to find this on sale like the Batman set.
