Playmobil proven quality, not too many small parts. The most popular part with my children is the hose, which is now to be found everywhere, but no longer on the fire truck. The hose is composed of 5 parts. I thought it was only a little weird, but for security makes perfect sense. Private strangulation, or the sibling is not possible with this tube. Good thought along, compliment. The siren listening ears friendly after about 10 sec. By itself on, unless of course you again and again presses the appropriate button. The assembling is done in 10-15 minutes, thanks to the active support of my twins (now 3 years) I have, however, used much longer. The only drawback, it's just a (!) Firefighter this because the relationship is not true for vehicles. Price is OK in my opinion, if we assume the Playmobil usual durability.
The previous model, I do not know, so can not compare. is probably still available, but also not expensive.
