sam89 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 EB member Xwingyoda has already posted his reviews in these two threads: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...topic=9359&st=0 http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=9358 Thanks for posting anyway though ;-)
Mr Hobbles Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Yes, those pictures actually belong to xwingyoda, and are on this very forum as part of his reviews. :-) You can find the threads at: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=9359 http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=9365
Minifig Lecturer Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I think the seaport is very disappointing - very few bricks, all large ones like as if no effort was made designing this apart from trying to save some plastic. The truck is terrible when you see it without the crate loaded on the back, no half-decent truck should look like that :-X Bring back the old port cranes and vehicles. The box cover beats the real thing.

I must admit I was disappointed with the truck purely because of the red flatbed at the back. Why couldn't they have made it black or grey? It looks like a toy in red imo. However I must disagree about the rest of the set. I really don't mind that the boat hull is one piece, it's good for the kids as it floats, and it has a decent enough shape for me as an adult. There are quite a lot of studs ontop to build onto and nice little compartments for engines and such. The pier and the crane I like too. The pier looks really impressive, and I love the detail in these three pictures. In this set the lack of brickwork doesn't really bother me, after all, you wouldn't find much brickwork in a real crane either. :-)
xwingyoda Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Ok guys, lets close this thread !! Feel free to discuss both sets in the appropriate reviews ;-) *yoda*
