NewTown Posted April 28, 2017 10 hours ago, ChristopherLee said: This definitely qualifies as one of the best LEGO sets of all time. It's perfect, and with a reasonable price too. I agree. I have never been more excited for a new set since I got back into Lego as an adult. I cannot wait for June 1! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kjellevirus Posted April 28, 2017 On Brickset there is stated that there is a chance it being early VIP acces. But that is not yet confirmed. Any chance of it being true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance of it being true? On the LEGO Store calendar for May, there's no mention of early VIP access for anything new. There's an early access set listed on the June calendar, but that's for the 15th, so it isn't the carousel. My guess is: don't expect early VIP access. But hey, I've been wrong before.

cold_fuzion Posted April 28, 2017 Yow that's a lot of stickers. Not that it will stop me, this must go into my city's park, but I expect some real stressful moments trying to get that darned things on straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erik Leppen Posted April 28, 2017 This looks to be a really good set. Especially that it can rotate easily, and connected to a motor. Also great that the rocking motion from the previous caroussel makes a return. It looks executed beautifully. Especially the frog looks cool in motion. Curious to the details about the workings and how it's built on the inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Very nice model. I have no place for it, but it is quite a piece of art and engineering. On the Designer video I saw the flamingo, I really like the flamingo (it's a personal joke), but I would like to build the flamingo.

Evolved Turtle Posted April 28, 2017 The ride in the distance on the back of the box(with the planet at the top) would make an awesome set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My secret is to put the tile on a larger plate, and put the sticker on the tip of a small knife. Very easy to align them correctly that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alsielou Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Thanks, that's a good idea to put the tile on a plate first, I had never thought of that funnily enough. I will try it. As much as stickers are annoying to position, I think these ones will really add to the model as the reflections as everything moves will look very pretty. I wasn't planning on having a permanent fairground in my city due to space limitations, but this set is so gorgeous that I will renovate the city square to give it a permanent home!!

22kane Posted April 29, 2017 I thought this was a nice surprise. I normally keep up with the upcoming sets and I had no idea about this one. I bought the Mixer before it was retired and got a good price on it at the Lego store. I really don't want to drop $200 on it but I think it's too cool to pass up.

Trekkie99 Posted April 29, 2017 Looks like a lot of fun! The building technique for the flooring is really cool. And the animal rides are cute. I like the frog. LMF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted April 30, 2017 How on earth is one supposed to keep up without selling both their kidneys?! I bought fairground mixer because I liked how it actually looked fun and could be packed away into its own little vehicle sets... Then they release the big wheel... Didnt plan on getting it but now they've released this beauty, I'll HAVE to get it to start a little fairground... For all the modulars I've had to buy which are also not on the cheap side... Let alone the UCS snowspeeder just being released, the amazing looking Saturn V ideas set, again, high price point, need to get the elves goblins set for a fun moc I want to do, let alone the Lego batman movie sets which just look so fun themselves, and they still have yet to release the batwing, and that ultimate batmobile thing... And then the potential of the UCS mf... And the hopefully upcoming winter village set... I just don't even... I'll only have my soul left to sell to get all these decent sets!!!

You sir, described perfectly what most people are feeling. I thought we already sold our soul it in the first place by starting collecting Lego? But the carousel is looking so beautiful! And I like how easily it can fit on a town square. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
