paul_delahaye Posted April 28, 2015 "Sequel to the Fairground Mixer" doesn't make as much sense now that it's not speculation. and now it's more a sequal to the Caroselle ride than the mixer. Massive disappointment from my side, I'd really hoped yesterday's picture was a prototype, the colours are just weak IMO. I really wanted it to pack down onto another truck, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Assembling and disassembling a large transportable ferris wheel won't be as easy as the setting up the Mixer. You'll need at least 4 trucks and trailers and a crew of minifigs with no fear of height. Edited April 28, 2015 by dr_spock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Still Raindrop Posted April 28, 2015 Now that I see it... there's a glaring lack of safety in those gondolas. Other than that, I find it neat. Oh, I don't know--if my butt could click into my seat and keep me in place, I probably wouldn't need any more safety features. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karmajay Posted April 29, 2015 Wow this looks really cool. I'm not as interested in the mixer because so much is wasted on the vehicles but I'll be happy to purchase this. I can really see myself trying to morrize it AND put some light features on the starburst parts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFOLguy1970 Posted April 29, 2015 It looks interesting and quite colorful as many Ferris Wheels go. Hopefully it will not be near the $200 range although I fear it might be. If given a choice between this and the Detective Office (difficult to afford everything!), I could very well go for the Ferris Wheel. Is there a possibility that the title of the thread could be changed reflect the Ferris Wheel now that we know it is the successor to the Fairground Mixer?

TheLegGodt Posted April 29, 2015 Funny how tastes differ. I really like the colours, think they are very sunny, reminds me of a sea-side big wheel. On the other hand, i don't really care too much for the colours of the mixer. I don't hate them, they just doesn't go wow for me either though If given a choice between this and the Detective Office (difficult to afford everything!), I could very well go for the Ferris Wheel. Unless you are a modular collector I would certainly prefer the Wheel over the DO. The DO does not stand out as much, is only an OK addition to the series.

Zusammengebaut Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Offcourse it looks much better than the first one, but this does not fit with the mixer :-( Also maybe there are a lot of hidden bricks; but 250 euro's?? Honestly a little bit disappointed, but staying open for a second look... In my opinion, the Fairground Mixer ist a great set - one of the best in 2014. It has been a lot of fun to bulid this roundabout. And it looks very cool. So I am rellay up for the the Ferris wheel: I don't see, that these two buildings didn't fit together. Okay, the trucks are missing this time. But in London, the Ferris wheel didn't change the position, too. I am looking forward to see the Wheel in Action, like the Mixer last year.

I think the Ferris will fit with the mixer and any future releases. A Ferris wheel can't never be out of scale, there are so many different sizes in the real world that proves it. London's is a very good example, but there are others, like the one in Prague that can be seen on the classic "The Third Man", for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legobear Posted April 30, 2015 The mixer is probably one of the best sets in Lego history. That's for certain. I would like to see more images of the Ferris wheel though. I know it's going to be released in two weeks or so but why so secretive Wish we could get some more images of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XAxles Posted April 30, 2015 This set is just getting more and more brilliant. LiBrick has all of the HD too. My Flickr's borked, so it's a good thing someone else got another link. There seems to be a love triangle going on in this set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legobear Posted April 30, 2015 TAFOL and phz2000, thank you guys . You guys are amazing for getting these for us. The set looks brilliant and I'm so happy to know we can optionally install a power function. I believe I can see the crank on the bottom right of one of the images. I really can't wait to add this to my collection. It really put a whole positive atmosphere in a city full of police officers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big-whoop-Guybrush Posted April 30, 2015 Picked up the ballon cart polybag in prep for getting this. Need to pick up a motor on Friday when im in the lego shop.

FactorXa Posted April 30, 2015 Questions? Do you guys think that the Motor 8882 (now on sale on lego website) is too much for this beast? :) Any experience in trying to reduce the speed of the motor using the rechargeable battery (8878)? Does it have a "lego base" surface like the 8883 Motor? I put the 8883 on the Winter Village carrousel and had to use the "spiral" piece to reduce the speed. Advice?

8BrickMario Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) What impresses me the most is the new torso prints! That never happens in Creator sets! I also like the new double-sided head for the little girl who dropped her ice cream. And the face for the nervous boyfriend who's apparently afraid of heights. If I'm not mistaken, the black-haired boy has a new face, too. I don't like how two figs have the same hair and torso, though.
