SalvoBrick Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Recently I did a few remakes of old town sets using the bricks available on the Lego Factory palette. Here the two I've uploaded: http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...60-6dd0c082d098 Remake of 6365 http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...b6-63930af41400 Remake of the promotional set 1620 Obviously there are some modifications in color and bricks, but the "spirit" of the old town sets is always the same :) And I don't think they're expensive... the cottage is only 21 euro... Stay tuned for more :) Quote
Hobbes Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Those are cool, and even reasonably priced. Looking forward to more :-) Quote
Sting Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Actually a really good idea. If only the factory allowed for base plates and the proper colors, this would be amazing. I may even consider ordering one of those one day... when I am not thunderously broke. Maybe one day Lego factory will include almost every piece and it will be like Bricklink except a little cheaper (as Lego can produce the pieces as demand is met). Quote
Cabby Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 That's a good idea. Would be just as fine as hunting old sets on ebay or bricklink. :-) Well maybe not as thrilling as boxes from your childhood. :'-) I'm sure a lot of MLCAD freaks have already most of the classic catalog covered, haven't they ?

SalvoBrick Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 And now, the remake of the 4554 station :) http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...62-8db998cdbdf1 Quote

WesternOutlaw Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Not bad. The colors work pretty well. Quote
Robiwan Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Great idea and work! Anytime I had began to build the 4554 station in Lego Fctory with to sides, but I had not finished. Quote
bdd Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Whoa, nicely done. Unfortunately at a hefty price, but I expected that... Didn't the originally set cost about $75 10 years ago? I think the price isn't too bad. Quote
Hobbes Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Didn't the originally set cost about $75 10 years ago? I think the price isn't too bad. You're right, $72 according to LUGNET. Still, too expensive for a train station. And I'm saying that as a train fan ;-) Quote
bdd Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I agree, I have always loved the set, but anything over $50 for is too much for a Train Station. Quote
Hobbes Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 anything over $50 for is too much for a Train Station. Unless they give us something like this, or this ;-) Quote
phoinix Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 great idea this remaking of old sets on lego factory! and may i say nicely done! the train station probaply costs that much because of the bricks used for the base... too bad not all the bricks are availiable... and this reminds me to ask:Why arent there any basic yellow bricks on the factory??

highlandcattle Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I love the chocolate factory I might even order it. But i was wondering, salvobrick is it hard to change the building to tan bricks and are there no windows in the lego factory. I can't actually use it, because my graphics card is from a very old school *knight* Quote

dillthepill Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I'm liking these. I might buy a couple. Good job, keep up the good work. *sweet* *y* Quote
SalvoBrick Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 Here's another one: http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...42-e84eeecfadfb Replica of the 379 bus station... except the bus :) (but you can find one on my gallery) Quote
Minifig Lecturer Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 And now, the remake of the 4554 station :)http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...62-8db998cdbdf1 This is great. It's not too bad a price considering its a quality building and better than anything else you can buy in the shops :-) Quote
SalvoBrick Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 Not really a replica, but a remake in minifig scale: http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid...06-bb8e307ccc95 The classic Esso service station (set #310) of the late 50's- early 60's Quote
Hobbes Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 The classic Esso service station (set #310) of the late 50's- early 60's Unfortunately those sets are mere average without the stickers. Nice model, though... Quote
