"With a BrickScore of 77.6, the Fire Plane is a well-designed, play-first City set that impresses with its water-drop mechanic and delightful minifigures — just be prepared to pay a slight premium for the privilege."
LEGO City Fire Plane (60217) lands as a solid, kid-focused set that earns praise for its realistic yet playful airplane design, well-executed water-drop mechanic, and a charming minifigure lineup including a female fire pilot and a LEGO skunk. Reviewers across the board found it accessible and fun, with the plane's dome-piece water-drop system and multi-scenario play (burning trees, buggy, airplane) highlighted as particular strengths. The main sticking point is value — at $60 USD / €0.12 per piece, most reviewers felt the MSRP was a notch too high for what's largely a large-parts build. The 2019 stud shooter on the UTV also drew criticism for requiring excessive force and poor accuracy.
Where they split: Minor split on the stud shooter: JANG appreciated the UTV's tile-shooter mechanism as a fun addition, while Bouwsteentjes was more critical of the 2019 stud shooter's stiff operation and poor real-world performance. Otherwise, reviewers were broadly aligned.

Bouwsteentjes"I think that the designer has really threaded the needle here, creating something that is fun to look at, fun to play with, that has the the requisite uh action features that LEGO's design executives almost force upon the the designers these days based on based on the the research that they have. A and yet the the action features don't really get in the way."
