My children really loved this set. It was a needed addition to their “start-up” Lego city. The street corner is a great focal point and the bus was a wonderful component to “liven up” their little neighborhood. It was VERY entertaining for them, giving both the older and younger children hours of quiet playtime. If you can only buy a few items to enhance a basic Lego set, this is a must-have!

After reading the other reviews here, my wife and I decided that the Lego City Corner would be the perfect larger size playset for our 4-year old son, a budding Lego enthusiast. The City Corner features a 3-story pizzeria (complete with oven, tiny wine glasses and pizzas), a bike and skateboard shop, a bus stop, a city bus and five minifigures. Complexity: There are close to 500 pieces in this set, so it was by far the largest project we’ve attempted. Still, Lego’s clear instructions and the fact that each major section’s pieces were separately bagged made assembly a breeze. My son is still too young to really work the smaller pieces, but he built many of the larger elements, such as walls, windows, roofs and doors, and of course the minifigures are his domain. All told, it took about 90 minutes to complete. Playability: This is by far my son’s favorite Lego set. He’s already spent hours with it, assigning names and roles to the figures, loading and unloading them from the bus, and arranging dinners at the pizzeria. Once we brought the City Corner together with his other Lego City vehicles, he had an even better time. It’s an almost frustration-free set as well. The Lego City Corner isn’t cheap, but it is worth every penny. It’s the perfect “next step” for kids who are ready to go beyond just the Lego vehicles, and it’s also just a lot of fun to put together and play with.
I was leary to spend the money on this Lego product because I thought it would be too difficult to assemble. I was also worried that it would not stay together once built which would cause my 7 yr old much frustration, hence I would be re-building it over and over again. On the contrary, my son built it himself and has kept it assembled. He has dropped the bus a few times and I have had to fix it but I found if you push the pieces together tightly while building it it will stay together longer. I find my son doesn’t push the bricks together tightly when building and I think some of that is due to his hand strength vs an adults. I would recommend the product.
I gave this to my daughter for her 9th birthday – she has inherited many. many legos (from her two older brothers as well as from what I grew up with!) and while she is very creative in creating her own schools, spas, zoos, etc. she also has loved some of the sets. She had built her own “school bus”, but she was thrilled to have a “real” bus and especially getting a “girl” (from the pizzeria) was HUGE – as well as she loved getting another skateboarder and TWO skateboards – she had an old one from her brothers, and has always wanted another. I was shocked at how quickly she put it all together – very well broken down into separate packaging – no frustration at all – now she wants the Fire truck set!
This price is very elevated right now. I hope it because it is right after Christmas as I am writing this and unfortunately some people over charge at Christmas, hopefully it will come down from $98. My 7 year old received this for Christmas. He was into trains, but now he is really into Lego’s. He is in the process of creating a “Lego City” on his old train table. This set is a great addition. It is so detailed. The pizza shop has actual booths and tables where you can let the people sit. Also it comes with 5 lego people. The Bike shop is also very detailed, There are bike helments on display in the shop. The buss has seats in it and you can let the people actually ride inside the bus. I would buy this again as a gift and I definetly reccommed it. Sure, Lego’s can be messy, but they are only young once and Lego’s allow for creativity and imagitive play, which is better than video games.
