The monkey's head poking out from behind the ride looks splendid from the front but perhaps not so convincing from behind. Lego City continues to be one of the most popular Lego ranges and there are some budget-friendly kits, ideal for children aged 6 and up. With these sets, they can build garages, police academies, train stations and more.

The minifigs fit in the swing but have to stand in it, given that they don't have hinged hips, and it is of course functional. There are lots of options for older kids aged 13+ and adults, and with the Lego Architecture range, you can enjoy challenging builds with impressive results. Recreate the Great Pyramid of Giza, The Whitehouse or Statue of Liberty and then display your masterpiece. It's a fun little set and if you have a fairground in your LEGO City the three amusements will provide hours of additional fun for your minifigures! When construction is complete, you’ve got two amusement park games and one ride to add to your LEGO Town.I suspect the reason for the size of the mallet is so that it's long enough for a minifigure to hold across their body using BOTH hands (something I often do when displaying or playing with Ninjago minifigures who wield weapons like war hammers, bo staffs, or polearms). The second game is the classic “hit the target with a hammer and try to ring the bell” carnival game. The build actually does launch a Technic 1×1 liftarm up when you strike the printed target tile. Although there’s no actual bell, I found it the most fun and functional of the three.
