My son has a lot of fire-trucks. I got the Bruder because they are supposed to be the best. OK...they are HUGE and they look nice, but how can a 50 dollar fire trucks have doors and compartments that don't open ? This baffles me.  His 20 dollar toys-r-us fire trucks have doors that open and at least one compartment that opens. This does not. His 20 dollar toys-r-us fire trucks have flashing lights all over the truck, not just two little beacon lights on the top with a very low pitched siren.  Overall I think the aerial ladder/platform assembly is nice and well built. The wheels and tires are of very high quality. But that's where it ends.  If I had to do  it all over again, I would not buy this.
