 60307 CITY Wildlife Rescue Camp

With the new wave of LEGO will come some amazing sets, and this 60307 CITY Wildlife Rescue Camp is one of a kind. It's a great set, and it includes some amazing animal elements, clearly painstakenly designed, as they are absolutely splendid looking. This set contains a truck, a complex perched on top of the trees, a rocky ledge, another rock, a small boat, a tiny airplane, and 6 minifigures. One of these figs is from the CITY television show, and that is Sleet. This set also comes with a motorcycle and 7 animals. They are an elephant, a lion, a lioness, two lion cubs, a monkey, and an eagle. 

The set is loaded with cool functions and builds, and I still can't believe that this set has only 503 pieces. That's nothing compared to some of the other sets this size. Now, let's look at the truck.


The inside of the truck is filled with medical equipment for the animals, as well as space for the minifigs to fit in. The door parts at the rear of the vehicle are really cool looking, as well as compact. To be honest, this is a really tall truck, with it being almost as tall as the elephant, which is a humongous animal. The front of the truck is really detailed, with the designers making use of TECHNIC parts to create some splendid mirrors and cameras, reminiscent of the 60267 Safari Off-Roader's cams. 

This is a really simple yet wonderful take on today's off-road vehicles, and I congratulate LEGO for this.

As you can see, this set is pretty wild. There's that treehouse and the lions' home, so let's look at them.

I don't really care for LEGO's decision to use colored road parts as rivers, but I guess that it doubles as a decorative addition to people's already packed transit systems. I absolutely love this treehouse, and for a couple of reasons. First of all, I love it when cloth is used in sets, especially for canopies. I don't know if anyone cares, but this is one of the many reasons I like this part of the set. Secondly, you can actually access this treehouse fully, unlike lots of the other treehouses. It allows the user to enjoy the full experience with this build, which is something I think most people like.

Also, it isn't too tall or too short, which is a huge problem with other builds. 

The lion's den is a great addition to this set, and I really think that we should get more animal-related side builds in the future since it shows that CITY isn't just bustling noisy city. The big tree on top of the den looks super cool, and the steep cliff face is perfect, with the overhanging leaves.

Another thing. This is one of the first CITY sets to feature baby animals that do not live in the ocean.

The motorboat and plane are fine additions to this set, and clearly display a difference to the usual planes and boats. For one thing, this motorboat is without a control plate and seats, which isn't common for these things. But anyway, this is a superb vehicle and side build, and it's really wonderful to see other sets with the motorboat, even as far back as 2015.

The plane doesn't look safe at all, and is more similar to a helicopter than a plane, to be honest. That little propellor at the back of the plane makes it look kinda experimental, like a new model. I'll have to say that this is good that we're seeing new plane designs, 'cause I'm pretty tired of commercial aircraft heads constantly appearing in sets. All I can say is that is is an improvement, and maybe this signifies that LEGO will use different designs for other builds in the future, which I look forward to.

Characters.

Lion's den.

This Wildlife Rescue Camp starts at around $99.99.

31100 CREATOR 3-in-1 Sports Car

 31100 CREATOR Sports Car The 31100 CREATOR Sports Car is a recent LEGO release, and a CREATOR set. I feel the need to review this to be fair to the CREATOR fans out there, including myself. This set comes with 134 pieces, which can be used to build either a sports car, a hot rod or a cargo plane. There are no minifigures included, which may be a downer for some people, but it's totally fine. The absence of minifigures does not stop this set from being great for both play and display. The sports car is a beautiful model, with its extensive detail and sleek design. The spoiler is foldable, which allows this vehicle to quickly change looks, even if the only difference is the position of the spoiler. It rolls along quite nicely, mainly because of the wheels, which are rarely used elements in the world of LEGO. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the classic wheel part. But anyway, we have to continue. Here is the second build you can make, and it is a hot rod. It's burstin...

60324 CITY Mobile Crane

 60324 CITY Mobile Crane CITY sets are back, with more great builds and minifigs. One of these new sets is a mobile crane vehicle, called 60324 CITY Mobile Crane. It's a great addition to your MOC city, considering that a crane like this has never been made. Yes, there was a TECHNIC version, but how are you going to fit that into your city? I'm just talking about good old bricks. Let's get to the set now. It includes 1 crane, a road plate, and 2 minifigures. Not much to it considering how much you'll have to pay for this set, but still, exclusive parts abound in this one. None of the minifigs are named, but you'll find that they still make appearances in the TV show. All of the unnamed figs still get a part in the show, but that's not what we're here to discuss, is it? The crane looks pretty good, if I may say so myself. It has an operating boom and a working winch system, which is great news for the buyers that want to play with this set and not just displa...

60404 CITY Burger Truck

       As I said last article, I would do an article on the new burger truck set from LEGO, so now here I am doing that. It was a bit more overpriced than I initially assumed, so I wasn't too pleased but I guess it's okay. Anyway, before we get to the price, I want to just introduce the set. It's directed towards those 5 years old and up and included 194 pieces. The sole build is obviously a burger truck, or rather a burger van  because of its humble size with a big detachable burger housing the chef. Technically, the vehicle is just a flatbed van that carries a big hollow replica of the products its owners are selling. Anyway, the set, in terms of characters, is standard for these food truck sets from CITY: 2. There is the burger chef and then some random civilian who appears to be in tune with the local music scene (pun intended)      As you can see, there isn't too much to this set functionally (mostly aesthetics), and definitely nothing that w...
