LEGO City 60022 Cargo Terminal Toy Building Set

I purchased the LEGO City 60022 Cargo Terminal Building Set years ago when my first child was born as a set we'd get to build eventually. Well, that day finally came recently and my son and I recently spent a few afternoons slowly building the sets' incredibly detailed components.We own several other LEGO jets of various shapes and sizes including the LEGO City Passenger Plane 3181 and Lego City Airport VIP Service 60102 but the jet included in this set is both the largest LEGO jet we own and also our favorite!--------------------► ASSEMBLY:--------------------There aren't too many surprises when it comes to the assembly process. For my son (4.5-years-old) this set is beyond his building capability but we build our sets slowly with me helping a lot in the process. The jet in this set features a single piece that makes up the frame for the wings (see picture) and this is dramatically different from our other LEGO aircraft. The net result is a wing that has a lot more flex than I expected, not that this is a bad thing.The jet also features a lot of large pieces that make up the fuselage which makes the jet surprisingly easy and quick to build. The landing gear on the jet does not retract and are permanently mounted in the 'down' position on the aircraft.--------------------► NEAT FEATURES IN THIS SET:--------------------I always like to include descriptions of neat extras that maybe aren't readily apparent from the product pictures in my LEGO reviews. In this set, those features include the cargo aircraft featuring two large doors that open at the apex of the aircraft and open upward. This makes loading and unloading cargo using the forklift easy! The aircraft also features a tail that is anchored on one side and opens effectively opening the aircraft in half... cool!The cargo pallets in this set include some pretty interesting cargo. One pallet features a basic ATV frame, a second pallet includes the wheels that can be mounted on the ATV, effectively giving you another (small) vehicle in this set! The third pallet features apparent gold bars secured in a high-security pallet box! The last pallet features boxes full of LEGO sets!The air traffic control tower is pretty cool too and has a radar dish that rotates on its axis. We also appreciate that LEGO designed the air traffic control tower with a rotating seat that makes setting the minifigure inside the tower a lot easier.The conveyor vehicle is also pretty neat and features a conveyor belt that really moves. The low point here is that the arm that supports the belt doesn't do a good job holding the conveyor in the upright position.--------------------► MINIFIGURES:--------------------You get five minifigures in this set including:[1] Pilot[2] ATC controller[3] Refueling worker[4] Forklift driver[5] Cargo car driver--------------------►CLOSING:--------------------I realize my review for this set comes pretty late and after it's been retired by LEGO. I figured I'd provide a detailed review in case anyone is looking at buying from a third-party seller. This is an incredible LEGO set and if you're a fan of LEGO City or aircraft this is an excellent purchase. Recommended!

Wow, this set is awesome! Santa brought it this year for my 8 year old son. Took him about 3 hours (not all at once) without any help from me. He has definitely been the most creative with this Lego set. My favorite part is the working forklift! The air traffic control tower is a little unstable though, the base needs to be a bit bigger. We have to lean it against the dining table leg when we play with it.

I like this product because it was big but easy to build and it comes with really unique minifigures and great details.

This is a really good set for young kids looking for a challenge. It is big and it is cool. My 5 year old could do it by himself. The one problem I have with the set is that it keeps coming apart. The engines keep dropping off, the wheels come off, and sometimes the fuselage comes apart. My son wants to play with it and it is somewhat delicate. I think the pros out way the cons. He occasionally gets frustrated with it, but still loves it.

I'm a 14 yr old and chose this as a project that was more complex than the other sets. It was also something I could afford. Some of the challenging projects are way too expensive for me. I believe this is a very good set. Built to last...

I loved lego but this Plane and the items with it just out of the blue. The details of the plane and easy to assemble it, I got it for my 8 yr old and he built the full set in couple hrs, with out any issue. After it was arranged, from far it looks like its real and things is going to take off in a flash. The Cargo accessories are perfect and looks like they got it off the local airport tarmac.Loved it and my 8yr old loved it too.

My son loves this plane however I'm disappointed by how easy this build was for him. The pieces that make up the body of the plane are very large so not much time is required to put this one together. Not what I expected at all...I assumed there would be a far more challenging build than it was.

OMG...my son absolutely loves this set. It has a lot of pieces to build. My son just turned 7 and he had it built in two days. He loves it and plays with it every chance he gets. I highly recommend it for any kid that loves Lego's. Worth every penny.
