I was attracted to this set (and series as a whole) when it first came out, for some reason I didn't buy any of them and regretted not doing so soon after. So when a chance came along to buy this one, I didn't hesitate this time.

This is a thoroughly delightful and fun set, and with a sub-theme that Lego sadly either doesn't seem to value very much, or one that isn't so attractive to its young audience. I mean, it's been 7 years now and while the City theme has seen a lot of varied sub-themes, they are still largely (understandably) variations on adventure and rescue kind of topics.

In this set, you get FOUR (4) pigs! That must be some kind of record for number of animals in a set! (Though you also get 4 sled dogs in 60034 Arctic Helicrane too, but how often do you see Lego pigs!?)

There is a cute little pig-sty with some feeding troughs, a cool and realistic looking tractor which pulls a trailer with a nice ramp for loading the pigs. This is great fun (if you don't think too far ahead at what lies in store for the piggies after they are loaded up...).

I thought the standard-issue baseball cap for the farmer was a bit dull so I gave mine a Tan coloured fedora hat instead just like the farmer in the larger more expensive Farm set 7637 .

It would have been nice for a few more small or medium sets to build up the farm but this set is great all the same.

I hope Lego re-visits this theme before too long.

A great little city edition


Pros:

Little Pigs!

No stickers!

Green tractor and red trailer

Broom and shovel

Carrots!

Cons:

Nothing!





Overall I give this set a 10 out of 10!

This was our first pig purchase and we love it! This was also the first non-urban/suburban set we purchased, yet it fits very nicely with the scene.

Yes, there are four pigs in the set. There could have been two and we would have been happy, but four makes a great start to our farm.

The carrots and slop in the feed troughs are well done and both minifigs really fit the scene well. Good job, LEGO! The shed is nicely constructed using parts and methods I wouldn't have thought of. That was fun.

The tractor is great! Same color scheme (lime green) as my Technic pneumatic log hauler tractor. Unique pieces pretty much good only to make other tractors are used, but it works fine for this purpose. It even has a well-thought out 3-point hitch on the back. If only I could think of the proper implements to construct...

The trailer is nice. It's a dump trailer with a loading ramp to get the piggies inside. The sides also flip down like a real farm trailer. Need some more yellow 2x3 bricks for some additional hay, but that's pretty easy.

We added the SUV and horse trailer, and will add the farm when it hits sale prices here in Taiwan. That will complete the rural setting we were lacking previously.

This is a great set and does well as a standalone unit. It's the second set I have given a perfect rating on, and that surprised me. On second thought, I guess it shouldn't. It's worth it.

With this set you get some rare pieces (Pigs and carrots and grass/tree), FOUR pigs, 2 minifigures and a tractor... Oh i forgot and a pig pen (no not the kind you write with). Lets cut to the chase:

Pros

• 4 Pigs
• 2 Minifigures
• A Pig Pen (In other words a place where a pig lives)
• Grass Piece
• Tractor w/ Trailor
• Carrots
• Little Shed

Cons

• The gates are kinda flimsy...

Otherwise this is a great set. Im not sure what the price is as i got this and more as some of my early christmas gifts. If your buying this for the pieces its also great except most of the pieces are made up of small pieces. Although the Tractor w/ Trailor contains more large pieces.

Having read some of the later reviews i notced they said you got 4 pigs and that is what is shown on the box art. I was convinced i only got 3, but having looked at the bag with them in, which i did not need to open to make the tractor, i see there are indeed 4 pigs - so sorry for any confusion caused. Just makes the set even better to have an extra one!
