LEGO City Cargo Train 7939
When it comes to toys, Lego is a household name that has been around since 1932. Over the past decades, Lego has made construction sets themed in just about every aspect you can imagine, from space to knights and pirates, to cowboys and Indians and even movie-themed playsets.
One of Lego’s latest set releases is Lego City. With the Lego City playsets, kids can assemble their very own Lego towns, complete with police stations, fire department, stores, houses, skyscrapers, and even a functioning train!
Special video review on LEGO City Cargo Train 7939
The Lego City Cargo Train is truly an innovation in the Lego world, as it comes with Power Functioning parts, like a motor that actually allows the train to run on its own, via a remote control that can operate up to 8 trains at once.
The Specifications
The Lego City Cargo Train is recommended for children from 6 to 12, but that doesn’t mean older children won’t enjoy this timeless piece. The set contains 839 individual pieces and comes unassembled. Included in this set are 4 Lego figures; the train conductor and 3 train yard workers.
The train itself is over 34” long and consists of the engine, the tank wagon, the two-car auto carrier, and a flatbed car. This Lego product utilizes the patented Lego Power Functions, requiring 9 AAA batteries (not included). The train is operated by an infrared remote control which can control up to 8 trains at once. The set includes a full train track for the train to ride along 8 straight tracks, 16 curved tracks, 16 flexing tracks, and 2 witching tracks.
The Pricing
Lego products these days have gotten to be quite expensive, and the Lego City Cargo Train is no exception. This set will cost you $230.00. Granted, the set has a remote control and a real functioning motor on the train, but 230.00 dollars is a lot to spend on one Lego set.
The Verdict
If you are an avid Lego collector, or you are trying to complete your Lego City set, then this piece is definitely a nice buy. The functionality of the motor and infrared remote control is a very cool touch. However, if you are just purchasing this as a gift for a child who likes Legos, I would recommend a different Lego purchase. There are plenty of Lego City sets available for much cheaper than $230.00
