LEGO City Fire Station with Fire Truck vs Hot Wheels City Ultimate Garage

Buy the LEGO City Fire Station for a child who likes building and pretend play; buy the Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage for one who wants fast, physical car action. The LEGO set is a construction kit with 5 minifigures, a fire truck, helicopter, cat and dog, and it can be rebuilt and combined with other LEGO bricks. The Hot Wheels garage is a large plastic playset with a T-Rex theme, a tail-pull lift, multi-level orange track and storage for 50+ 1:64 cars, and it comes with two die-cast cars. Owners of the LEGO set praise the build and role play; owners of the Hot Wheels garage praise the stunt play but note its size and that it is mostly plastic.

• Choose the LEGO City Fire Station with Fire Truck if your child enjoys building, rebuilding and acting out rescue stories with figures and vehicles.
• Choose the Hot Wheels City Ultimate Garage if your child wants a big stunt set for racing 1:64 cars and already has a Hot Wheels collection.
