LEGO City Cargo Train 7939

Great set with a large variety of components. Easily packed per item so easy to set up. Always been a big fan of Lego when I was young and boy Lego has evolved along with the technology of today! The train comes with a remote controller allowing you to drive multiple trains and is a great gig for every child. The train track has nice diversity with various nice additions such as a container carrier, truck and lifter. Although I thought it was a bit expensive at first, it is worth the money, and of course lego quality is phenomenal. The box said from 6 years on and I got this for my 4 year old girl. She couldn't do the assembly except for the larger items, but loves playing with it. Highly recommend this set. It can be used as a starter kit, but has a lot of additions, so you could give the extras as bonus to get the feel of expansion.

Santa brought it to our almost 8 year old son for Christmas. He spent all day building the pieces on his own with no help and has been playing with the train since. Definitely worth it, but we got a great deal, wouldn't have been able to get it otherwise. It does use 9 aaa batteries...and I despise the constant need for batteries in toys. Luckily santa brought enough rechargeable batteries in the stocking that we don't have to worry about it for a while, The price greatly inflated by Christmas so I'm glad we checked on Black Friday where it was on sale for $124.99 down from around $159.99. We also used amazon points we had accrued and got the train for $85.00! It has more track than the red commuter train, but it would still be nice to have more track..,.which actually is harder to find and quite expensive, with not so great reviews. Great train, our son is in heaven!

Our 5 year old son is simply in love with this Lego train. He was able to put everything together will very little assistance... mostly some help with the few stickers that need to be applied. We were pleased with the full compliment of rail cars along with the crane and truck. The IR remote control work easily from across the room and also allows for future expansion. It is an excellent set that will not disappoint! Hours of fun await.

This is an exceptional kit!! Well worth the price. Plenty of track for a simple design, but very expandable. The Locomotive was designed to easily incorporate the Lego Light kits for front and back lighting. The only issues seem to be with the Minifigs. The crane operator is constantly complaining about the lack of ladder to the crane operators seat, and the truck driver is union so he only hauls certain loads, and refuses to deal with the non union Minifigs. The Engineer might have a substance abuse issue, as he is regulatory seen with his red coffee mug, and after the last derailment that ended in the locomotive having to be completely re-assembled, he was quoted as saying "Atleast I didn't spill my drink"

I would really only give this 3.5 star, but I rounded up to 4. The train is nice and very detailed. But I have a few complaints. One, the two small cars that came with it could have been a little better. One of the car, blue and black, is put together in a way that it easily falls apart. A few more interlocking pieces to make it more secure would have been nice. Battery box is screwed on with tiny screws. Lego isn't exactly a toy for infants because of the small pieces so for the life of me I don't know why it has to have a childproof battery box that is cumbersome to replace batteries. It should be snap on and off easily. I guess you can always get the rechargeable battery but that's going to add to the cost. The remote control was not high quality. You can touch it slightly and it would register, the "click" doesn't exactly mark the point where you change from one speed to the next. When you put the train on first speed, it doesn't move, you have to click it 2 or 3 times. Overall I like the train, just wished it was a little better.

We got this for my 8-year-old son for Christmas, and he just loves it. He originally wanted the "advanced" train, but when we told him that didn't come with a motor or tracks, he switched to this one, and I'm glad he did. He and his uncle had fun putting it together, and it really does stay on the tracks and is fun to play with. The track is small, though, so we're getting him some more for his birthday. Nice set for the price!

A great set for any trainiac..."Mr Frieght" as my son named him, comes with a flat bed car carrier with 2 cars, container flat bed, fuel/container, loading bridge and track. It also comes with the motor and wireless remote control (which can control 2 trains at once). This set was much better value in my opinion than the red Lego City Passenger Train...it has more stuff. The train itself is highly detailed and looks good, but because of the level of detail you will find that parts will fall off with rougher handling.

I purchased this as a Christmas present for my 11 year old son and of course he was so excited to put it together on Christmas. Lo and behold, bag 1, which is the building supplies for the main engine, was missing the wheel components!! I had one unhappy little man to say the least!! I ordered the missing parts online thru Lego.com on Christmas morning & they just shipped yesterday from Denmark. Certainly will not be in a hurry to purchase ANYTHING Lego any time soon!!

Recomendaría este producto tanto a niños pequeños como a adultos. El montaje precisa de un adulto o de un niño habilidoso y paciente en el montaje pero con las instrucciones es casi imposible equivocarse. El montaje de las vías es sencillo y el único pero que tendría este juego es que las vías son escasas. Con las pilas recién puestas tiene una velocidad altísima y duran bastantes días con un uso continuado. Está hecho todo de un material resistente y la parte de maquinaria está muy protegida. Viendo que el mando es capaz de controlar varias máquinas a la vez, hace que ya estén esperando a las próximas navidades/cumpleaños para poder contar con otra (buscad el momento más adecuado para la compra pues el ahorro puede ser importante). Mis hijos están encantados (2 y 5 años).

Bei uns hat der Weihnachtsmann dieses Set für meinen 4 jährigen Sohn gebracht. Mit etwas Hilfe von mir war er durchaus in der Lage das Set zusammenzubauen. Der Umfang ist wirklich gut, zumal wir das Set während Amazons Lego-Rabatt-Aktion gekauft haben (ca. 116 €). Der Zug selbst ist auch für einen 4 jährigen problemlos steuerbar, mit ganz vollen Akkus neigt er allerdings bei voller Geschwindigkeit in Kurven manchmal zum Kippen. Aber da Lego bekanntlich sehr robust ist, ist das auch kein Problem. Apropos Akkus: ich rate hier dringend zu wiederaufladbaren Akkus, da der Zug nach ca. 1-2 Stunden Betrieb (geschätzter Dauerbetrieb) schlapp macht. Ich selbst benutze hier Eneloop Akkus, mit welchen ich die besten Erfahrungen gemacht habe. Insgesamt 9 AAA-Akkus werden benötigt, 6 davon für den Zug (die in der Fernsteuerung halten deutlich länger). Durch die Akkus ist die kurze Fahrtzeit von daher auch keine Minus-Punkt für mich. Die Fernsteuerung arbeitet übrigens mit Infrarot, wovon man sich aber nicht abschrecken lassen muss. Denn sie reagiert in allen Lebenslagen und sämtlichen Richtungen tadellos :) Der einzige, kleine Minus-Punkt ist für mich die fehlende Beleuchtung. Denn der ganze Aufbau des Zuges ist schon auf Beleuchtung ausgerichtet (es gibt bereits Löcher hinter den "Lampensteinen", Kabeldurchführungen usw.). Das Beleuchtungsset für vorne und hinten kann man aber für knapp 18 € im Lego Shop bestellen (war da auch am günstigsten). Der Einbau ist denkbar einfach, man kann das Ganze sogar so schalten, dass man mit dem zweiten Drehrad an der Fernsteuerung dann das Licht bedienen (und dimmen) kann. Super Sache :) Alles in Allem also ein tolles Set, das ich jedem weiterempfehlen kann.

un peut cher mais parfait

très bon produit mais cependant tout ne marche pas aussi bien qu'on le souhaiterait. le train est lourd, il faut un sacré nombre de piles - ce qui revient cher en consommables... comme pour une imprimante avec les cartouches. si les enfants jouent beaucoup avec, l'autonomie s'épuise plutôt vite. livré avec peu de rails, ce train marche bien. le minimum demandé vu le prix. je m'explique : faire un circuit en forme de boucle est la seule possibilité offerte. c'est donc à la portée d'un enfant de 4 à 5 ans. maniabilité : le placer sur les rails est un peu délicat mais après ça tourne... et c'est ce qu'on attend après tout. mais on ne peut pas s'arrêter là, il faut absolument acheter des rails supplémentaires pour vraiment s'amuser. le train mesure quand même plus de 50cm ! c'est donc un jouet pour du long terme avec beaucoup de possibilités si vous faites plusieurs circuits. cependant, quand on veut faire des circuits plus complexes, là c'est nettement moins évident. suivant la fréquence des courbes, les aiguillages et les rails que vous aurez acheté en plus, le train jaune déraille beaucoup trop. revoir les réglages des roues, vérifier l'écartement entre chaque roue (bogies pour les puristes) devient un vrai calvaire pour un enfant de 7-8 ans. le jeu devient nettement moins intéressant et on se lasse vite quand après plusieurs tentatives ça ne marche toujours pas à 100%. ce n'est donc pas un produit fiable si vous l'ajouter sur un circuit complexe. le train de passagers Lego - 7938 - Jeux de construction - lego city - Le train de passagers n'a jamais posé de tels problèmes et en y regardant de très près, les roues ne sont pas du tout les mêmes ! y aurait-il un "truc" qui cloche sur ce train jaune ? la qualité de construction est indéniable, les détails et les autres éléments à monter sont nombreux, et donc le train jaune ne se limite pas à du train. par exemple, la grue est très bien faite mais penser à la "rigidifier" en l'accrochant avec des plaques de longueur 2x6 ou 2x4 aux rails les plus proches. le camion est très joli mais le système d'accroche des containers est assez fragile, le clips n'est pas franc, ce n'est pas bien maintenu. les petites voitures type smart sont très bien faites et surtout différentes, ce qui rajoute du plaisir à la construction. quand c'est varié, c'est tellement plus intéressant. l'ensemble est joli, les personnages - minifigures nombreux mais attention, c'est un jouet plutôt fragile. il faut être minutieux et concentré pour s'amuser à fond pendant des heures. les parents sont largement mis à contribution ! :-) fan de lego ? recommandé. pour une première fois ? orienté vous déjà sur le train de passagers 7938

If you love model trains (e.g. you have/had H0/N/etc-gauge) you may be a bit skeptical about Lego trains: they cost quite a bit, are "chunky" (after all made of bricks ;) and not really "true to life". Why not get a model (though a model is not a toy)? Let me tell you this is more - not only it allows you to "blend" your passion for Lego and model trains - but it is far more appropriate for a child than a model - you build it together, you/child can customise it with bricks from other sets, can be played it rather than just "admired". The controller is somewhat of a revelation - it gives you the DCC flexibility of running multiple trains on the same track(s) with far less complexity. Even if you start with 1 train now, it is good to know the flexibility is there. Compared to the other Lego trains (e.g. passenger) you get more variety in wagons and other parts (crane, truck, etc.) which I think makes it better value. You can also customise it with more wagons (bought elsewhere, e.g. the 'bay). I'd say get more tracks as you can never have enough track; what you get is not bad and allows reasonable layout but 1-2 sets of extra track will help. And watch the price! Sometimes it is up to 30% cheaper so it pays to buy it when cheap and store it (make sure you hide it well) until the event (birthday, Christmas, etc.) as the saving is significant. Enjoy!
