5613- Firefighter

This little city-themed box set is in the same year and series as 5610- Builder.  A cute little way to bulk up my fire crew with plenty of accessories.  See below for an image of the back of the box.











The set comes with a fireman in a hat, a small fire construction, a fire hydrant, and a wall with accessories including a fire extinguisher, a black axe, a chainsaw, and a handheld circular saw (forgive me for not knowing proper saw terminology).  See below for an image of the back of the wall.

5610- Builder

I absolutely love small sets like these.  Generally a fantastic price point and good playability.  A nice way to fill in the gaps in your Lego City (or any other theme) or build on things you already have.  For example, this little guy will give my small construction outfit a little more oomph.

In this set, we have our construction worker (builder) minifigure, his little cement mixer, and a few pieces of cement.  The figure is in a nearly all orange jumpsuit, with the hint of a blue shirt underneath and grey gloves. His torso print also features silver striping, a zipper, two breast pockets, and a pen sticking out of one of the pockets.  He comes sporting a red construction helmet.

21000- Sears Tower


I can't remember exactly when I got this set, but it was purchased at the top of the Sears Tower.  I'm happy that I got it before the name change.  It was my first building from the Architecture series, and the first Lego model set I had ever really seen.  I'd like a couple more buildings to put in my Lego Small World collection, but I think that even the cheapest ones are overpriced.  When I'm online deciding on which sets to buy, a $20 City or licensed set is always going to look better and take precedence over a $20 small Architecture set.  Most of the sets should be a little bigger with a little more detail for the same price, but that's just one girl's opinion.
