LEGO® Juniors 30338 | Fire Car

05.14.2018 – LEGO® has so many themes that you won’t notice some of their own brands have been around long enough being left unnoticed. You’ve got Classics and Creators then you have “Juniors.” Before it was known for its current name it was known as Creative Building and then Bricks & More.

“Juniors” has been around since 2014 targeting younger kids to get into building simple sets. It has expanded to include licensed properties still keeping its simplicity they also produced polybags sets like Impuse sets from back in the day.


Simple builds from LEGO® Juniors have been an interesting treat for younger kids. Less intricate and more about helping them put together vehicles, houses, animals and other things. This theme has also some rare easy to build sets that are packed in polybags similar to back in the day with how impulse box sets where produced.

Certain polybags are not actually sold on retail as they are included as a free giveaway promo. But some markets they where sold packed with other sets and this LEGO® Juniors 30338 Fire Car is no exception as being sold in supermarkets.











Modern Type of Fire Car

LEGO® has produced several versions of a “Fire Car” dating back to the introduction of the minifigure-centric LEGO® Town system. Though, this set doesn’t not fall in to the LEGO® City theme it still carries that identity this set can be part of that community, which is one of the simplest builds out there.

This set consists of 28 parts including one minifigure. Unlike its previous namesake this set now comes with a tree “on fire” unlike just the minifigure and its vehicle. It was a very quick build to put together in less than three minutes after opening the bag and spilling over the parts on the table.











Country Fire Marshall

The Fire Car was quick and easy to build having no solid pieces but having ordinary LEGO® bricks and elements. It was the simplest and lest favorite among the five polybags that where sold at supermarkets (Woolthworth’s carried them) along with Nexo Knights, Ninjago, City, and Friends.

Among the boys-centric set this was the usual polybag you’ll find in Woolworths as the favorites where Ninjago and Nexo Knights themes. Though, not your usual polybag it has some interesting elements that you can reuse to your existing set. This is also an alternative to getting small sets that you rarely see nowadays and that is the reason why this set is one of those quick builds to pass the time.



Overall LEGO® Juniors 30338 Fire Car is not for everyone’s interest unless you just want the elements and minifigure that came with it. The smaller pine tree is cool to add to your ever growing LEGO® forest as one of the interesting parts to get in this set and like any old school set it also have a nostalgia factor that younger generations might not get into since most of them are into the licensed properties.

“Fire Car” from LEGO® Juniors set number 30338 is one of the five LEGO® polybags, which was originally released in 2017 acquired at Woolworths in Westfield Marion for $4.99 AU Dollars.
