Deaddude Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hey all, first time posting. I've generally only bought Bionicle, Technic, and Star Wars sets, but since recently buying the little front end loader set as a taste of town, I've been hooked. Now I don't want to go all out, but what (preferably recent and attainable) sets do you fellows suggest as having the most bang for their buck, not necessarily parts wise but as in features and display. I'd especially love to get construction sets, so any suggestions there would be great. Looking forward to good times at Eurobricks, and thanks for any help! -DD Quote
Lockt Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hello DD, Welcome to EB-forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. My first advice, as a reply on your question, is to look through the sticky items above in this trains&Town forums. Espcieally the reviews can be of interest for you: LINK In the top section, you see the reviews of 2009 sets, incluiding the subtheme: Construction. "Contruction Site" is a set you really need to check out. Its an excellent start set with a lot of construction items boxed in one set. Reviews on EB are of good quality, so this entire review thread is worthwhile for you! If you look to general townsets that are excellent for starting a town, I would like to point to "10184 Town Plan" Hope this will help get you started. Regards ~Lockt~ Quote
LuxorV Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Deaddude, and welcome to EB! You can introduce yourself in this thread, and tell us more about your LEGO interests. You may also want to look at the Cassic-Town.net site, for more info on the old sets and the new developements of this theme LuxorV Quote
Eilif Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Welcome to Eurobricks. I would second the suggestion of Town Plan. It may seem a bit expensive, but it's definitely a good bang-for-buck set, and the fastest way to acquire 3 civilian (not fire or police related) buildings and 2 vehicles. As you can see, I think the charm of Town is in civilian type sets. I would recommend also the "mail Van" and "air mail" sets, but get them quick, as they may not be around much longer. Also, the Train Station is a neat building that can be easily coverted into a bus depot if you don't have a train. Finally, the Recycle truck is a great set that I plan to purchase soon. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Welcome DD. I've moved this post to the "Hello. My name is" forum where new members introduce themselves. Do check out Trains & Town though as well as Classic Town for great town-related material. Quote
