I shopped before throwing my heart on this fire truck. I wanted big, strong, good quality (no plastic junk in appearance). The price was also important ... I expected to see several before you order it. It is very realistic: the plastic is of good quality. Its size allows to play with action figures (type papo) and my son plays as well outside as inside. I do not let him out through against. It is strong enough for my 3 year old son follower of the calculated destruction (all that can remove or tear is thoroughly tested) play with no worries. The price on Amazon is unbeatable (6/7 euros more in store and on other websites). Good value for money.
