5:00 hilarious fun fact about the Jack Stone SUV- it’s regarded as the set that “ended an era.” Mads Nipper brought it to a board meeting to use it as an example of why the company was failing in the early 2000’s (expensive new molds for a product that sold poorly). “This isn’t a fire truck- it’s a spaceship. We are never making this mistake again.”

The 2005 fire truck was the first Lego set I ever got, and for me it is the most nostalgic. I remember getting it for Christmas and I was so happy about it. It shaped my childhood and what my passion is now.
-
I didn't realize the 2005 set was so long lived. One of my favorite childhood sets for sure.
-
I can’t believe how happy i was to see the 2005 firetruck on this list, it was my first ever lego set, which i got for christmas at only 2 years old!!! Its shaped me so much as a person throughout my life and im so excited to see how many other people share this oddly specific experience
-
Seeing the 2005 set again almost brought a tear to my eye. Got it as a gift for christmas as a kid, so much nostalgia and happines from playing with it :D

For my birthday one year, two different people gave me set 7239 (the 2005 model at 5:45). Rather than being disappointed that I got the same thing twice, I loved it. Like you said, it really is the greatest of all time. My older brother also had the jack stone model, which we also loved because its simplicity made it perfect for crashing and tearing apart. Interestingly, our Jack minifig had a black torso, not gray like the one you showed
-
I actually really like the old firefighter truck instructions that had you place like 30 bricks at once, because it means less paper wasted on simple instructions, since the actual build was much simpler and only relied on a layer-by-layer construction which is actually quite easy to figure out with such large instruction steps

My god, the 2005 7239 set sets me back in memory lane. I remember to this day going with my mom by bus to shopping centre to toy store just to get this one set. I was 7. And since I'm polish in these years (2000s-2010s) Lego still wasn't such strong brand here. It wasn't as much sets as in other countries, stuff was expensive for people. It wasn't my first lego or city set, but it for sure shaped something in memories.

Love a video dedicated to a Lego staple. I also owned that jack stone fire truck set when I was younger. I still got the firefighter figure. Great video, glad to see appreciation for a build we would typically take for granted.
-
I still have the parts from the 2005 fire truck still around. The ladder, the doors, the blue cheese slopes, they're all in other things I've made growing up. The boat and even the stickers are still around some random places.

The 2005 fire truck as the first LEGO set I ever owned, I built it with my dad when I was 4
-
So glad to see so many people remember that 2005 fire engine so fondly, it's one of those sets that I very distinctly remember getting. I was torn between that set and the 2004 Snow Speeder but I am very glad to have gotten that fire truck. Couldn't agree with your assessment on it more, it's just perfect.
-
I really love how you turn these set reviews into really heartfelt history lessons. It's such an enjoyable watch.
-
Great run-through and thanks for the shout-out! It was so much fun to visit the studio - thanks Caleb!
-
ive said this in conversations before, but anything with emergency vehicles will sell well to kids. as a kid, the 2006 airport fire truck was one of the first sets i owned that wasnt from the harry potter line and im glad to see its inclusion in this video! great work!
-
There’s also the fact that the Lego factory in Denmark burned down twice, but from the ashes, Lego grew back and became bigger.
-
I support the Fire Nation.. great video. I never knew how many fire department sets there were. Great job..
-
Growing up, my favorite fire truck was the Light & Sound 6480 model. Then I also ended up getting the police Light & Sound 6450 model and well, I had lights and sirens blaring throughout the house!
-
The 2005 fire truck was my first Lego set ever! Got it for Christmas 2008 from my granddad. However my favorite fire truck would have to be 70436, Phantom fire Truck 3000 from Lego Hidden Side. I love how unique it is compared to other fire trucks, with the folded up mech in the back acting as a turret and the Bionicle reference on the side of the truck, it's very cool!

Man the #7239 really sent chills down my spine. I remember the gasmask/rebreather being such an amazing concept to me, like how can you fit 4 parts onto a minfigures head??? I'm instantly hunting one down on ebay, or sitting by the side of my lego bin and fishing out long forgotten pieces.
