This is a really nice, solid Lego set. The ambulance is six blocks wide, unlike the old four block sets, and unlike the monstrosities the company unleashed in the late 90s has a good, satisfying build involved. There's a couple of tiny pieces that will disappear quite quickly and the set relies on stickers for some pieces - including the blinds for the windows, which annoyingly has to go across two bricks - so it loses a star on that.
Its size and weight means that it can zoom across the floor with a good push, and roof panels are easily removed so that small hands can reach inside.

My son enjoyed patiently building this model over 4 days at Christmas but found that every time he wanted to play with the model it fell apart as its base is not strong enough to support the model and the engines stick out below the base so they fall off every time it is put down. Finally after months of frustration we contacted Lego who supplied some extra bricks to try and stabilise the base (a known problem obviously) but that didn't work so we returned it. A great model for adults but simply not suitable for playing with - don't waste the money for kids.

The set comprises the jungle cutter vehicle, some trees, a spooky cave plus Indiana Jones (complete with whip and rocket propelled grenade), Colonel Dovchenko and two Russian soldier minifigs.
The set is fairly easy to build, although the tracks on the jungle cutter are fiddly and smaller fingers may require some grown-up help. The blades on the front of the cutter rotate as it moves and mow down the trees, which are designed to break. The engine cover also explodes off when a piece is pushed in. The cave features ...
