Join the lifeguard aboard a beach rescue truck. This cool vehicle is packed with essential emergency gear, including a first aid kit, binoculars and a megaphone. Open the tailgate, don your flippers, grab a surfboard from the roof rack and brave the waves to rescue a surfer in need. Beware of the lurking shark as you head back to shore! Dive into thrilling beach rescue missions with LEGO City. |
The box cover shows a thrilling scene at the LEGO City beach. What seems like a rather quiet day judging from the tame clouds on the early evening sky is actually quite a windy business: the waves are perfect for some class A surfing stunts! Of course, the surfer is amid the wild sea, currently floating in mid air on her surfboard! But what makes this scene thrilling is the fact that right this moment, a shark has appeared on the wavy water surface! You can see the shock on the surfer's face as she is trying to figure out what to do in the middle of her stunt. But not to worry: the lifeguard has already rushed to the scene with his beach rescue truck, a sturdy all-terrain vehicle in yellow, black and red that is now parked on the beige sand of the beach directly in front of the water. The lifeguard is hastily running towards his surfboard which is sticking in the sand not far from the dangerous scene. Life buoy in hand, he is ready to rescue the surfer in need and make sure no one gets hurt. Never a dull moment on the beach! But now, let's start building! |
Open the box. It contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 2 numbered bags and 1 sheet with 4 stickers. We will refer to the bag numbers to guide you through the building process. Please ask a sighted person to help you identify the correct bags! |
If you would like to attach the stickers of this set yourself, these are your options: since 2 of the 4 stickers included in this set are identical, and the other 2 stickers have unique shapes, you might be able to differentiate the stickers by feeling their outlines and therefore identify them yourself. Alternatively, you can ask a sighted person to orientate the sticker sheet such that the bold red line is on the left edge. Then the largest sticker, which is sticker number 1, is at the back edge (this is the edge furthest away from you). We will refer to both the shape and the location of the sticker on the sticker sheet during the building process. However, of course you can also decide to skip the stickers in the building process for now or ask a sighted person to attach them if you like. |
Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Lifeguard Minifigure, the Shark, and the Vehicle Underbody with driver's cabin. |
If you like, you can ask a sighted person to sort the pieces by color before you start building. We recommend using trays or bowls. This can make finding the correct pieces easier! However, if you would like to build without brick colors entirely, you can also ignore them or turn them off. There are different ways to sort and organize the bricks and your building process. It's up to you! |
First, we will build the Lifeguard Minifigure. |

The Lifeguard Minifigure is finished! Well done! He is wearing bright red shorts which are likely swimming trunks and a white tank top with a round neckline. The shirt has red hems, and there is a red Star of Life symbol printed on the top left chest area, a symbol often used by medical emergency services. It is a star-shaped icon with 6 rays that have blunt ends. The back of the shirt is printed with a red icon of a rescue buoy. The lifeguard is wearing orange-tinted sunglasses to protect his eyes from sun damage. He is not wearing any shoes, so he better watch out for hot sand! |

Flip it upright so that its pointy end is pointing to the top. Then, snap one of the long side edges into the Minifigure's left hand. |
The Surfer Minifigure is finished! Well done! The surfer is wearing a grey neoprene suit with green sleeves. Neoprene suits are perfect for watersports because most of your skin stays dry and the foamy material keeps you warm. This is important when spending long stretches of time in open water. The suit has a front zipper, a green and black collar, and some decorative stitching in black and green on the sides of the torso and at the back. The brand logo is printed on the back of the suit: it is a green circle with an abstract black symbol made up of jagged lines in its center. The surfer's head is printed with two faces: on one side, she is showing a shy smile. On the other side, however, she is clenching her teeth in distress. It really depends on how well she is doing on that surfboard of hers! Her eyebrows are light brown, and her lips are nude-colored. She is wearing black mascara. |

Find 2 black plates 3x4 with 4 knobs in a horizontal middle line. |
Put 1 vertically on the left crate and the other one vertically on the right crate. |
The utility box is finished! Well done! Open the vehicle's tailgate and slide the utility box into the truck's loading space. Afterwards, close the tailgate again to prevent the utility box from falling out. |
Next, we will assemble the 4 wheels. |
Collect the following 8 pieces: |
4 black wide rims with hole and spokes, |
and 4 black thick rubber tires with low lateral profile. |
Put the rims into the tires. |
Snap the 4 wheels on the 4 connectors at the vehicle bottom, making sure that the rim sides with spokes are facing outwards. |
The Lifeguard Beach Rescue Truck is finished! Fantastic job, that was an intricate vehicle to build! To seat the lifeguard in the driver's seat, take off the sunroof, fold the Minifigure into a seated position and put him behind the wheel. Don't forget to reattach the sunroof afterwards! Are you ready for a test drive? |
You have finished building the entire set! Very well done! Now, everything is ready for some splashy beach adventures. It's the lifeguard's job to watch both the sea and the beach and look out for safety hazards or dangerous situations. Watch out for the shark, dangerous currents, dehydration, sunburn and other risks to have a great time at the beach. And if something goes wrong, the lifeguard is at the ready! |
Enjoy! |
