Synthesized Verdict

"The Fire Rescue Plane earns a confident recommendation on the strength of its excellent water-bombing play feature, sticker-free build, and updated modern design, though expert reviewers would have liked a lower price and a more developed side build. With a BrickScore of 75 and 1,594 owners averaging 4.88 out of 5, it is one of the better-received City sets in its size class."

Both Brickset and JANG give the Fire Rescue Plane a positive but qualified recommendation, praising its modern design, integrated water-bombing mechanism, and no-sticker policy while noting that value-for-money is a sticking point at the $54.99 MSRP. Owner response is enthusiastic: across 1,594 ratings the set averages 4.88 out of 5, LEGO's own signals show a 4.52 out of 5 value-for-money score and a 4.90 play experience rating, suggesting families and kids find the set delivers on its promise even if expert reviewers would have preferred a $49.99 price tag. The set earns its BrickScore of 75 as a solid, play-oriented City entry.

LOVED (7)

01Modern, updated black-and-yellow color scheme described as more interesting than previous fire plane releases
02Integrated rubber-band-actuated water-bombing mechanism that dispenses water bricks smoothly one at a time
03No stickers at all, prints only throughout the set
04Roomy, efficient fuselage with two seats, storage boxes, rear hatch, and water tank all integrated cleanly
05Custom-molded firefighter helmets with optional hair pieces for minifigures
06Clean underside design suitable for display from multiple angles

CRITICIZED (6)

01Wing tips feel thin and flat, lacking the aerofoil shaping of the predecessor 60217
02Significant price increase over the predecessor, particularly in the UK market where pricing jumped roughly 60% for only 20% more pieces
03Landing gear gets knocked off easily during play
04Jetpack accessory feels goofy and incongruous in a realistic firefighting scenario
05Only three minifigures, which feels light for the price
06Side build fire scenario is minimal and not particularly engaging

Ecosystem

60217 Fire Plane — While 60413 is a worthy successor with similar overall design consistency, UK pricing has increased by almost 60% (from £34.99 to £54.99) for only 20% more pieces. 60217 included more landscape pieces and a truck, whereas 60413 focuses more on the plane itself and its play mechanism.

4209 Fire Plane — Comments suggest 4209 remains an awesome set worth tracking down for comparison purposes.

60210 Police Helicopter — Similar general layout particularly in engines and wings, close enough to fit well in the City aviation line without feeling like a radical shift in direction.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Custom-moulded firefighter helmet
Gone are the days when minifigures got the same helmet no matter the role. Now we get custom-moulded helmets depending on whether the character is piloting a plane, fighting a fire, or controlling a jetpack.
Corrugated pipes
Connect the main water tank at the rear to the smaller hoses at the front of the plane.
Design:50334 element
Adds unique shaping while receiving the hose connection via its click hinge. This element has changed a few times, but historically belonged to 7131 Anakin's Podracer.
Teal 2x2 tile
Just below the hatch cleverly makes loading the water into the plane foolproof and avoids jams to the release mechanism.
Large water bricks
Satisfying to play with and easy to pick up with large or small hands.
Printed discs within the engine
A nice touch to the engine design.
