you were right lego city these days getting simpler and pricier. the old 6-12 and 7-12 city sets are the best. lots of play features yet still looks good.
Might sound stupid but I love waking up to see your videos in my sub box. Always a treat! As a broke college student who can't afford much LEGO, it's nice to be able to keep up like this, makes me feel like I'm not missing out too much. Reminds me of my days looking at the LEGO magazine every month for hours on end. Your personality and just overall niceness is also great to see. The amount of vitriol in the LEGO community lately is weirdly high for a kid's toy, but you keep it focused on what's important: having fun. Keep up the great work, I don't interact often on here but I'll always be watching!
I didn’t know the play features in this set, especially on the building, we’re going to be that good. My main complaint is I wish the trailer was longer to incorporate the storage space and the ladder 🪜 was closer to the cab. I’m so glad you don’t have to tie string with the hose
14:10 Just a little thing Jang, and for anyone getting this set, the orange / yellow is hazmat or forest , the black are normal firefighters, and the tan are higher ranked officers.
The ladder looks very similar to roller coaster track, except for the cross beams in the middle. Do you think it would be compatible with the coaster track?
I definitely echo your opinions, Jang, on the "emptiness" of it and the fire sports car being kind of a huh??? situation. I fully agree with the 5+ nature of this. I believe my 7 year old would enjoy this but I don't think it would be his choice if given money for a Lego set. I welcome the differences in firefighter uniforms and I think the high-vis markings being similar on each figure ties them together. The oxygen tank nougat one looks like he's wearing a heavy fireproof suit that's a little heavier duty than the others. I like the hazmat guy too. I like the number of shooters included in this set, I don't think I have seen so many different shooters in one set before and that seems like a fun play experience when paired with the exceptional fire reset mechanism. In terms of enjoyment, I'm seeing a split between 'kid' sets and 'adult' sets that is stark. A lot of these city sets I can only see being enjoyed by the kid side of the market. I feel that the city sets 1-6 years ago were more in the middle of kid and adult which in my opinion creates a great balance for families because the dads are just as excited for the set as the kids and that creates great bonding moments between parents and kids.
I feel like LEGO has gone crazy with new parts and colors recently. While the pieces and colors stoke my imagination, I'm not sure it's always a good idea to have so many new pieces, since it removes some of the creativity and .orblem-solving involved in finding new ways to use pre-existing pieces.
This set has some great stuff in it. The dome parts have potential, maybe for tank cars. The container!! I really like the minifigure parts. Cats? Yes. Engine has potential. Bike is awesome. Set isn't for me especially at the price but I am happy to have the parts available.
I like that fire car haha Not a big fan of that new yellow brick color though. I like those small stud shooters too. I think they'd be great for a classic space theme with a little modification.
On the fire car issue, I always liked them when I was a child. I used to have my fire chief drive out to the emergency in his car, along with a fire engine, and he used to "command" the emergency site, use his car to block off road, etc.
Iv been slowly modding this set, im following a fall out sorta factory as i find it great reference material for a factory thats simple, these city sets and the 22 wave got me super into city, i love it all and am building a my own city thing based around these sets as the modulars are just too big and complex for my own building. Love clemmons and the lego city adventures stuff. Its super whack and i love the show
The fire car is obviously for Freya McCloud to race Duke Detain. Is there a named main character in Lego City Adventures that's a Doctor or EMT? If so, they need a sports car emergency response vehicle too.
I really like the new studded spool purely because I don't have good dexterity so tying knots is always a hassle more so on the tiny string in LEGO sets
I don’t why but that little bit a "cat park" caught my eye way more that it should, somehow my favorite part of this set. The main building is good except for those big brick stickers they put on the middle of it. I like the car design. That continuous line they have on the side from the front of the hood to the spoiler is nice. But yeah, I agree, fire brigade sport car is a bit out there. Don’t like the big truck and it’s trailer. Maybe a shorter one with a little more built trailer would have worked better.
I like this set You can transform it into basically everything you want with the right pieces Like for real With some blue parts you can make a police car from the fire sorry car,and you can make the sardine factory into a crook hideout
I know this video was released a while ago, but most fire agencies the chief has a rapid response car, for instance my agencies chief had a dodge charger that was color schemed to match our apparatus, it’s used for them to quickly get to the scene to survey the whole fire and figure out if any additional resources or equipment is needed, before the rest of us get there
When I was younger I bought city sets and were satisfied. As the years go on realism goes down and down. I like the stytle of the tower truck here but the colors are wrong. On a uniform the bright yellow makes sense but even the sports car is not realistic. When the first Fire Brigade came out (not the modular) I bought it right away already having doubts about the huge water shooter but it was still 10x better then this set.
Not a bad set, but I feel it would have been so much more interesting when they left out a bunch of stuff and made it a lot cheaper. I mean, just the building (and sauce tank), a fire truck (could be a bit smaller) and a few figs for, say, €50 would have been a great play set. The extra car, the trailer, the bike, and even the container, it's a bunch of pieces that ramp up the price a lot, while not adding much play value.
The device to put the flame is interesting, but I would prefer something that takes out the flame completely out of view, I guess someone can modify that and take out the whole mechanism out if they want to. The fire car looks like a Ferrari! 😆But I do like the big firetruck, I seem to have liked last year's Fire Brigade set a little more than that, there was more to do in it. Anyway, nice review, Jang!
wait.. NO HAIRPIECES? Uh, Lego, you have been doing so much better, giving us hairpieces for helmeted figures. Jang is a champion of this inclusion (thank you Jang!) and we really appreciate being able to remove helmets and give our Mini-Figures their hair. Please add hairpieces! or sell hairpiece accessory packs:) Nice review, Jang!
I quite like the new road plates but I do wish they were a better fit for eight stud wide cars. I also wish they were more durable. I bought three sets when they came out and they are already very scratched up from children playing with them. They would be better if they weren’t made of shiny plastic. Of course this doesn’t matter for adults that are more interested in display value.
A good Playset indeed. Price is again to high for the piece count. i dont get why Lego saves money on putting more bricks into a Set. i mean the cost factor of the bricks itself shouldnt be that high
The fire truck looks very plain. The water shooter on top is pretty unrealistic. But what's worse, is there's not even any hose or suggestion of how water gets to the shooter. Even as a kid, I didn't like gimmicky unrealistic toys like this.
Still feels weird to me that these roads are effectively elevated. As for the set, it feels expensive for what you get. Some nice ideas but too many £££.
Most of the newer truck (and trailer) builds look very skimpy and incomplete. The design in general and color scheme in particular are terrible in my eyes.
D'oh, sorry I left the boy out of the minifig segment :(
Pain :(
I will never fully recover from this
you were right lego city these days getting simpler and pricier. the old 6-12 and 7-12 city sets are the best. lots of play features yet still looks good.
Especially after the show, they can still not use the shows context

I like this set honestly, there's just something comfy about it. Really like the industrial-styled building and how the vehicles look.
I didn’t know the play features in this set, especially on the building, we’re going to be that good. My main complaint is I wish the trailer was longer to incorporate the storage space and the ladder 🪜 was closer to the cab. I’m so glad you don’t have to tie string with the hose
Gotta say I love this new(ish) format of your reviews, especially the breakdown at the end. It's super classy
Loving the fire truck build and the new livery
14:10 Just a little thing Jang, and for anyone getting this set, the orange / yellow is hazmat or forest , the black are normal firefighters, and the tan are higher ranked officers.
The ladder looks very similar to roller coaster track, except for the cross beams in the middle. Do you think it would be compatible with the coaster track?
I noticed that too. If that piece was recolored, it could work for micro-scale train tracks.
It also looks like it can no longer nest into other ladders, which would explain why there is no extension function.
I definitely echo your opinions, Jang, on the "emptiness" of it and the fire sports car being kind of a huh??? situation. I fully agree with the 5+ nature of this. I believe my 7 year old would enjoy this but I don't think it would be his choice if given money for a Lego set.

Which pieces in this set are you talking about specifically?

I really like the fire Truck!

Love clemmons and the lego city adventures stuff. Its super whack and i love the show
got this 50% off at target today. i love the mini figures in it.
11:40 Great to see the Spainmobile 🇪🇦
The sardine can factory would make a great hideout for the villain Penguin from Batman.
That reset feature is so good!
If it's a "training" venue then perhaps the other suits are guests attending training courses and the "standard" suits are the local crew
The fire car is obviously for Freya McCloud to race Duke Detain. Is there a named main character in Lego City Adventures that's a Doctor or EMT? If so, they need a sports car emergency response vehicle too.
The fire car is usually used for the fire chief or any high ranking officer. All they need is a walkie talkie and a fire extinguisher.
I remember the old ladders, i would make thick stacks of em that could extend till what was (at that time) till like my waist
I really like the new studded spool purely because I don't have good dexterity so tying knots is always a hassle more so on the tiny string in LEGO sets
Oh man, I just want that big fire truck!
That trailer is a little goofy, but overall, pretty good set!
I don’t why but that little bit a "cat park" caught my eye way more that it should, somehow my favorite part of this set.
The main building is good except for those big brick stickers they put on the middle of it.

Don’t like the big truck and it’s trailer. Maybe a shorter one with a little more built trailer would have worked better.
I hope that maybe lego will see how the fans react to these sets and improve so that everyone can enjoy lego
I like this set
You can transform it into basically everything you want with the right pieces
Like for real
With some blue parts you can make a police car from the fire sorry car,and you can make the sardine factory into a crook hideout
I know this video was released a while ago, but most fire agencies the chief has a rapid response car, for instance my agencies chief had a dodge charger that was color schemed to match our apparatus, it’s used for them to quickly get to the scene to survey the whole fire and figure out if any additional resources or equipment is needed, before the rest of us get there
I could use the building as a house
Good idea
When I was younger I bought city sets and were satisfied. As the years go on realism goes down and down. I like the stytle of the tower truck here but the colors are wrong. On a uniform the bright yellow makes sense but even the sports car is not realistic. When the first Fire Brigade came out (not the modular) I bought it right away already having doubts about the huge water shooter but it was still 10x better then this set.
Could you get more of the container parts & give it a back so you could store stuff inside
Hey Jang, could you add asd to your costs, it'd be useful
Not a bad set, but I feel it would have been so much more interesting when they left out a bunch of stuff and made it a lot cheaper. I mean, just the building (and sauce tank), a fire truck (could be a bit smaller) and a few figs for, say, €50 would have been a great play set. The extra car, the trailer, the bike, and even the container, it's a bunch of pieces that ramp up the price a lot, while not adding much play value.
I wish the roadplates could be used with the old baseplates better and that they didn't make the sets expensive.
You want to send me over those new helmets?. I'll send some of the old ones. 😂
Lego vehicles are pretty wide, but yes there is enough room. If you want more room, these road pieces can be widened.
The device to put the flame is interesting, but I would prefer something that takes out the flame completely out of view, I guess someone can modify that and take out the whole mechanism out if they want to. The fire car looks like a Ferrari! 😆But I do like the big firetruck, I seem to have liked last year's Fire Brigade set a little more than that, there was more to do in it. Anyway, nice review, Jang!
I had the Lego fire engine back in the day. And it's ladder was much better. It was made of several pieces that slid onto each other.
They should make just normal fire trucks, like a normal ladder or engine
JANG, if you could recolor a Speed Champions car for use as a fire chief vehicle, which would it be?
I just found one on eBay for 65 and that was about the most I was willing to pay for it, maybe 70 tops but I pulled the trigger at 65.
Wish the set had a pumper truck or something to connect to the fire hydrant
Des the lower fire shooter on trailer comes out for individual play?
wait.. NO HAIRPIECES? Uh, Lego, you have been doing so much better, giving us hairpieces for helmeted figures. Jang is a champion of this inclusion (thank you Jang!) and we really appreciate being able to remove helmets and give our Mini-Figures their hair.

good idea toconvert the firetruck into a fire train
This is so good
I quite like the new road plates but I do wish they were a better fit for eight stud wide cars. I also wish they were more durable. I bought three sets when they came out and they are already very scratched up from children playing with them. They would be better if they weren’t made of shiny plastic. Of course this doesn’t matter for adults that are more interested in display value.
The blue thing looks like a water cannon for taking out protestors... its the perfect height for hitting minifigs
Could you do a video on why lego is expensive now.
DID YOU KNOW… fish oil CAN be used as a fuel, so a conflagration in a sardine factory is not really unheard of 👨🏻🚒🔥
I think the sports car is supposed to be a fire marshal
I mean I still don't like the MILS concept.....however I don't discourage anyone on trying the concept and seeing if they like it or not
My eyes burn just looking at the new overused yellow color
A good Playset indeed. Price is again to high for the piece count.
i dont get why Lego saves money on putting more bricks into a Set. i mean the cost factor of the bricks itself shouldnt be that high
Tiny LEGO sets now cost $ 40
I think I'd feel burnt if I bought this!
to me this looks like it could of been the Crooks Hidout Raid but they cand that and made this
The car looks like a police car to me
The fire truck looks very plain. The water shooter on top is pretty unrealistic. But what's worse, is there's not even any hose or suggestion of how water gets to the shooter. Even as a kid, I didn't like gimmicky unrealistic toys like this.
id buy it just for the fire truck
They should make more fire trucks as separate sets
The fire car is for all the cats stuck in trees,
I gues you could just swap the turn tables so the stairs has a ratched
160 bucks here in Aus 😮💨
Pretty good price!
Oh wow, I love not having to tie that stupid knot. Way more hated than stickers here...
I feel the road and the trailer is unnecessary. It makes the set's price just higher..
Still feels weird to me that these roads are effectively elevated. As for the set, it feels expensive for what you get. Some nice ideas but too many £££.
80 bucks tops🤔😲
$100? why does Lego City always feel like it has the worst value? at least with Star Wars we know there's a licensing fee.
100$ is waaaaay too high
Way too many figures. Cool Gimmic, but not a fan as its seems like one way toy. Just putting fires in windows would be enough
Same as the 2019 but way worse all the new sets are worse the 2007 and 2013 were the best fire sets but the new ones suck
Most of the newer truck (and trailer) builds look very skimpy and incomplete.
The design in general and color scheme in particular are terrible in my eyes.
and another much to overpriced very shallow "building" with much empty space... i very dislike those sets more and more.
i am NOT a fan of the fire trucks
Why ?
👍
