alex54 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 So um Can the cement truck fit threw the wash? Even though its a car wash..... Those trucks can get pretty dirty :-D Piranha Just for info, the driver of a cement truck has to clean it when he goes out of the building site, which have a water point for that. It's because you can't wait to clean it with the concrete... Quote

vahkimetru Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Those prices are probably wrong (ie: too low) already! :-D Please remember the mideast oil crisis does not exist in Lego city. And becuase the world is made of plastic over there, minifigs find it fairly easy to get a hold of oil which in turn becomes gas. Plus with all those dead <insert that tiresome argument> Dino themed lines, fossil fuels are a very expandable resource. :-) Is this out in the US? Quote
zouave Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Xwingyoda, are you buying all these sets just for reviews on EB? Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 21, 2007 Author Posted June 21, 2007 Xwingyoda, are you buying all these sets just for reviews on EB? ROFL !! You really crack me up X-D To answer your question: not at all :-D I am a collector and if I buy a set I want that is not reviewed on EB I'll just do a review for you guys ;-) *yoda* Quote
Axle Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 In the latest Lego magazine I got, there was a debate at the petrol station, they all thought they had the most important job, the rubbish man, the cement worker and the petrol guy. Then, in the end the place got covered in cement. Yoda, can you post some sortta funny pic like this? Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 *bump* My brother just got this set, and it's sweet! *wub* It's so much better up close than in the pictures, and with some modding it's perfect! *sweet* (Yea, only my little brothers got LEGO, I got a freaking ice cream.. Problems with being a TFOL..) Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 That looks like a great set - I already have a petrol station in Tabletown, but I'd love to get it just for those vehicles. Dr. S. Quote
maiq the liar Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 OOH! OOH! does the shop have those little microwaveable cups of tomato soup? refrigerated (so it's cold) tomato-soup w/goldfish ON! Quote
Six Wide Bob Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Does anyone of have pictures of the gas station with road plates around it? It's a slightly odd shape and it the car wash sticking out makes it difficult to integrate into a dense town. Cheers! 30 litres of unleaded, a Ginster's Pasty and a can of Panda Pop On! Bob Quote
AMK152 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I got the set a couple of weeks ago. I don't understand why the shop merchandise is outside. But, other than that, it's an awesome set! Quote
Freddie Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I got the set a couple of weeks ago. I don't understand why the shop merchandise is outside. But, other than that, it's an awesome set! It's common practice here in Europe that some merchandise is stored outside during open hours. So I'm guessing that this is a european gas station then; take the merchandise away and you got an american one, heh. Quote
Corvus Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Darn you *yoda* you're making me go into another theme!! Must...resist... Beautiful reveiw (like always), *yoda* !! Quote
the overseas kiwi Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 its a nice kit, the only thing i have done so far is to widen the outer lane so that the heavy hauler can get gas and for the next build it will fill the tanks for the station. Quote
Johnny 5 Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 its a nice set the new motorcycle is nice as a new bike for lego the cars that TLG is putting out now are becoming more realistic and less legoistic which is better? the pumps are good build along with the carwash wish the store had more to it though i just loved all the see through roof plates and ahh, to have gas that low again :-) ;-) Quote
baby Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) This set is pretty nice. I like it a lot especially the black bike. The car looks simple but i still like it since the real thing is the gas station. Sadly i'm broke now since i'm focusing on LEGO Star Wars & Castle theme :'-( Edited November 14, 2007 by baby Quote
VBBN Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Ahh... Finally a use for all those italien/octan barrels I got while collecting my harbor theme! Great review *yoda* ! Keep em coming. :-D Quote
CHILLERLC1 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I built the original model and then bought a second and combined the two sets. I have one center store and continue the glass roof to the other side. I want to convert the station to the BP or Shell brand. I think I will have an easier time making it Shell. Quote
missouri_bb63 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Wow! This set looks great! Thanks for the geat close-up pics. This set really has a lot of cool details that one doesn't really notice from a distance. Thanks for the great review! Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 There are pros and cons with every set. The pro for this one is it playablity and looks, its con, well two things. One is no merchandise inside the shop and second if you push a car too hard thru the car wash you break off the taps holding the rubber band for the rollers in place. So taking note of pros and cons, my redesign is almost complete. Totally different driveway pump arrangment, a drink vending machine, an ice block/ice cream freezer plus air and water. Although the car wash had make way for changes. As soon as`I have completed all the changes, I'll get a digital camera, then photograph and post them. Quote

Wow and over 2 year bump!! I guess I'm happy you did, as I never saw this review. I am in love. The detail on the price board, the whole car wash setup. I am seriosuly thinking about looking up this set on bricklink and seeing if it's a reasonable purchase. on the pcitures, crystal clear. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 It is still available for Australian buyers by Lego S@H, also selected online retailiers down under. Its still the same price $ 59.99 au Quote
