    As always, Lego is and should be part of every toy collection as it seems to keep the kids occupied for hours! The boys enjoy following the instructions to build the toys and then usually adapt their designs! The quality of goods and the service Amazon provides is exceptional – the majority of my shopping is provided by Amazon – what does that tell you?!

    I bought this for my 3 year old who likes Legos and loves trucks. We definitely needed to assemble it together, as the pieces are tiny. My son loved it and constantly wanted to play with it, but it kept on falling apart. Eventually, I had to put it away, as I was tired of re-assembling it over and over again. I’ll bring it out again in a few years when he can assemble it himself.

    You can’t go wrong with Lego gifts – educational, good for motor skills and typically priced for what you get. We wanted a small kit for a value price, and we got it.

    Brought to go with the lego city garage, though a bigger one does come with it. Good detail in the toy and my son is enjoying playing with it.

    It was fairly easy to put together and we did hook up the toe truck to different Lego cars and RV and it worked really well..I totally recommend this product.

    The latest acquisition to my son’s Lego collection is set 7638, the Lego City Tow Truck. This reasonably-priced set was my son’s choice mainly because it had doors that opened and closed. I was more impressed by the working tow winch and cool, sturdy design, plus the driver and his various accessories.

    Complexity: This is a pretty easy set to assemble. My son is only 4, so I did most of the building, but he was able to assemble the wheels and add the doors, windshield and roof. Plus of course the driver mini-figure. I think it took us about 30 minutes total.

    Playability: Even with the moving parts, this is a pretty sturdy set. My son gave it a thorough product testing and we didn’t have any major issues. My only complaint, and this seems to be the case with most Lego City sets, is that it isn’t easy getting the mini-figure in and out of the truck. Even with the opening side doors, you have to take the roof off (and not in the good, Parliament way).

    The Lego City Tow Truck is an excellent addition to our rapidly-expanding Lego world. It’s a good-looking, fun set, and putting it together was the perfect way to spend part of Father’s Day.
