LEGO Phantom Fire Truck 3000 70436

My 7-year-old son built it in a few hours. He found the spooky theme to be exciting in a fun way. The LEGO instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Many different building techniques are used, with bricks being built "on their side" (Stubs Not On Top). This creates beautiful shapes in this otherwise classic fire truck model. The car is extended with spooky cannons on the sides, the back is a separate "mech" with even more spooky cannons and can be used on its own as a vehicle. There are five figures included: 3 ghost hunters, a ghost, a TV robot, and most of these figures also have alternative faces - including the TV robot. Very funny! With a little imagination, you could see the large black monster as the sixth figure: Here, "tentacle bricks" were used to give it incredibly long arms and legs. This is also a really nice use of the bricks. You can enjoy this set in several ways: 1. Building - Simply a beautiful and challenging model 2. Playing - The theme invites imaginative play, and thanks to the many figures, easy stories can be created 3. AR via the app - You can scan your model and then go hunting for ghosts. The AR function is completely new to us: The fire truck appears on the phone, but because it also positions itself in the virtual environment, you have much more possibilities to use the set. You really have to look for the virtual ghost in the model. You have to open the shutters, scan the ghost, turn the spooky cannons, etc. A super fun addition to this beautiful themed set.
