sebitsena Posted April 24, 2018 Yes @Johnny1360. Straight grey track will only be in other sets like Super Heroes 76099 Rhino Face-Off by the Mine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny1360 Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Right on, already have Rhino Face Off, might just pick up another. I have a feeling those pieces will come in handy, possibly make them work for taller drops. Also I assume the Pirate Coaster is just manually operated, you just push the carts around?

I reckon this set looks great. https://www.brothers-brick.com/2018/04/23/lego-creator-31084-pirate-rollercoaster-first-official-pictures-news/ Man, this looks awesome! Am almost more excited to see this in stores than the Creator Expert one! Look forward to seeing some images of the pirate themed tree house as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted April 24, 2018 For those looking to expand, it looks like all 3 existing grey pieces (small straight from the Rhino set, large straight and curve from the Mine set) are available from LEGO Bricks & Pieces as of right now (at least for Australia) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bricked1980 Posted April 26, 2018 Full images of the Pirate tree house have now been revealed. https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-creator-treehouse-treasures-31078-revealed/ When the blurry pics of this set first leaked a few months ago I had thought that the secondary builds might be legit Pirate models rather than Children playing as Pirates. This is clearly not the case though unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted April 26, 2018 its a lovely set still and you still get a lot of pirate/pirate compatible pieces. Plus kids and a teddy bear. Seriously, I really like this set. Its really a great idea and the execution works very good as well. I expect kids playgrounds with it popping up soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, I really like this set. Its really a great idea and the execution works very good as well. I expect kids playgrounds with it popping up soon. I do agree I think it is a great play set for kids. My daughter will love this. I also applaud Lego for trying something a bit different. Tree houses have been done in the past so at least they've taken a different approach with this one. Personally I was just hoping that the secondary builds might have been compatible with old Lego Pirate sets. They did look like they might be on the blurry leaked pictures but the quality was too poor tell for sure. Anyway hopefully next year we will get a new wave of proper Pirate sets to celebrate the 30th anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway that model is in a different league altogether so doubt it would be affected by the new creator treehouse. Anyway they have done treehouses several times in the past. I can think of at least 2 previous creator ones and there have also been a couple of lego friends sets as well. So I don't think this new one will have much of an affect on the likelihood of that ideas model getting selected or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although this is in a differenj league to the creator expert coaster, in some ways it looks like a more fun and varied build. And at only £69 in the UK this is definitely something I am gonna want to get at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bricked1980 Posted May 27, 2018 Photographed these on my travels today. Smyths toys in the UK are now stocking all the new creator sets. They all look awesome on the store shelves and it took all my will power not to go on a huge spending spree. They also had the new city hospital set and the ninjago city docks in stock.

The quality is pretty poor but it still gives a good idea of how the set looks and some of the interior detail. This set has grown on me actually. Wasn't keen at first but I do quite like it now.
