alexrider7 Posted March 26, 2009 This topic is for the best and the worst Lego sets of 2000-2009. All have to already be released, no stuff coming in the oh so near future. Oh, and say why. Here are mine. Favorite: This set left the biggest impact on me ever. it was Febuary 2005. I was looking in the isles for Star Wars sets to by. Then, this beuty struck me. I had a 30$ bill in my pocket, but I thought "What the hell. a 20$ lego is fine." I bought it and when I got home, I was amazed. It was such a change from the old sets. It moved me from the old Lego era, to the new Lego era. (I mean grey lightsabers, new dark grey, ect.) Worst: You can't do a good reboot to a great set. All I have to say. Over and out, alexrider7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Posted March 28, 2009 Best: 10184 Town Plan Worst: 7695 MX-11 Astro Fighter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 28, 2009 Best (of the sets I actually own) is definatly the Town Plan. Green Grocer would qualify but I dont own that. Worst, no idea but probably Bionicle or Mars Mission or somehing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Algernon Posted March 28, 2009 People, this is best and worst sets, not themes. There have been a lot of good sets in the 2000s, and it's hard for me to pick an absolute favorite, but one of the best contenders would probably be the Ultra Drill Walker: There are a lot of others I like though. Of the worst, it's hard to say. A lot of the recent Star Wars sets have been totally abominable. For example: That set was really disappointing, and one hell of a rip-off. At least $10 overpriced. At least. However it's just about tied with this one. The construction is absolutely pathetic. The huge shaft of flick-fire missiles on top make me very sad.

green dewback Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Worst ? These 2 "barely-lego" sets pop up in my mind Edited March 29, 2009 by green dewback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexrider7 Posted April 2, 2009 However it's just about tied with this one. The construction is absolutely pathetic. The huge shaft of flick-fire missiles on top make me very sad. I can see where your going with the construction issue. I don't mind the stick as much as I mind it falling out when you disperse them all. The ship is really swooshable and when I punch all the missles, the stick falls out! And I really do HATE the Sepratist Homing Droid, but it has great minifigs!

Over and out, alexrider7 i agree with you about the droid walker thing but IMO, the republic ship is really good, and with a mod to remove the missiles, its way better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy0002 Posted August 16, 2009 Worst: Seriously?? that was a good set. one of the better ones!!! heres my least favorite. the many classic memorys of me barely touching this... good times... someone reming me why this was called B-wing?? its supposed to fly like an X. the stickers on the base that holds it up disgust me... the wings are so flimsy and the cockpit often falls apart.

Just A Minifig Posted August 18, 2009 Anything with hideous quantities of flick-fire missiles is terrible automatically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted August 18, 2009 Best is definatly the 10020 town plan really although there have been so many GREAT sets recently. Worst, would be anything that says "clone wars" on the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanPackMule Posted August 18, 2009 best-King's Castle Siege worst-any of the large KKII figures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorDude234 Posted August 18, 2009 However it's just about tied with this one. The construction is absolutely pathetic. The huge shaft of flick-fire missiles on top make me very sad. Well, I myself don't see what you have against it. The only quibbles I have with is are the forward, red wheel guns aren't fixed, and you can't open the roof when the wings are closed. On the other hand, with a few simple mods, it has enough room to transport four people in the main body or two people and a MOC command center. But back to the topic at hand, this could be difficult. I have to say that one of the best sets I own is the Jetrax V6, the blue bionicle ship from last year. It was amazing. It took me a while to build, it was complicated, sturdy, and oh so fun on the swoosh-o-meter. My least favorite is... Wow, toughie. I'm going to have to go for all of those inika clones, which now I can do blinfolded. It has just been to long since we've seen a nice, new torso design. But let's see if there is anything else... No, I suppose not. At least, none of the lego sets I own are junk. Who knows what crap lies beyond my living room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cobra Posted August 18, 2009 Best (probably): Finally a civillian Castle set; don't know about kids, but AFOLs surely love it. Worst: The only good thing about this set is the unusual baseplate - one could use it in a much better way. A little edit: Galidor is NOT Lego. Bionicle hardly is. Hence my choice about the worst set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cottonwood Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I would say that the best set of the 2000's (that I own) would be the cafe corner. The best building experience that I've ever had the cash to enjoy. The worst would probably be a Jack Stone set that i bought a very long while ago. I haven't the slightest memory why I purchased the little abomination. http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/4601-1.jpg Edited August 18, 2009 by cottonwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted August 18, 2009 Nice thread. Best- Creator beach house- For 500+ pieces, $30 USD is a fantastic value. While its value in pieces is already great, it is one of the best designed sets in a while. It was an instant classic for me. Worst- Hard to narrow it down, there are quite a few sets I own, but I'm not a huge fan of. Some of these include Exo-force, Racers, Aqua-raiders, etc...

Mraz Skintas Posted August 19, 2009 Best 7676-Republic Attack Gunship. Really a great set with great figs (could use a little more), pretty swooshable, and great for a Clone Army. Worst. Well I don't really know. There have been good sets, and bad sets as well. The 2007 Sith Infiltrator comes to mind though. Way to small, and just a bad rehash of a classic. -May the Force be with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinn-man Posted August 19, 2009 Best: Race for the Stolen Treasure No contest... Worst: Droid Developer's Kit Seeing as they made a way better technic R2 later, I see this set as pretty pointless. And I hated Mindstorms. Power Functions FTW!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Green Brick Giant Posted August 19, 2009 The Hospital was pretty bad, anything 4 Juniors was also bad so take your pick, same with a lot of The Clone Wars sets. I'm trying to pick the worst of the worst and it's hard, there are like 3,000 sets. However 7418-1: Scorpion Palace is bad, so for now I'll say that. if you ever built it that was horrible, however the elegant is awesome. My favorites that I think people will look over... 7093-1: Skeleton Tower - A classic Castle feel with a modern take on castle. 7419-1: Dragon Fortress - One of the nicest designed LEGO sets I have seen, different and excellent. 7417-1: Temple of Mount Everest - Simple LEGO design done right, and it has a baseplate! Maybe not the best of the best of the best, but close and I think people will over look them. Oh! A favorite favorite of mine, the best Train set since the famous yellow / red large Train Station... 10027-1: Train Engine Shed. I love that set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCC1004 Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) My best is either an Indy set or SW. No CW!You know which ones are good. My worst.... Bioncle, Gladiator, tons more. Edited August 19, 2009 by JCC1004 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5150 Lego Posted August 19, 2009 Best, without a doubt..... Excellent construction, great use of space, great parts and accessories. And visually stunning. One of Lego's best sets ever IMO. Worst Would have to be this.. Horrible design, horrible waste of space, lame details and accessories. Only good thing was the sticker sheet and it gave me parts to build a proper mobile command unit.

Penitent Tangent Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Similar to the topic creator, I have to give it to this set. I hadn't really been paying attention to Lego since I was very young, but I saw this a couple of times, and thought I might as well get it since it's cheap. It's not exactly the best model ever, and I know some people dislike the Clone Wars minifigs, but it's a great starting set and it's the one that got me into the whole thing. I also finally managed to track down this set recently for a reasonable price, and I think it's pretty much perfect. Neat little playset with sliding doors, turrets, etc.. a nice ship and a great collection of minifigs. It also combines brilliantly with the new Echo base set, and the upcoming Hoth battle packs. I can't really think of a worst.. I'm tempted to say the Venator for being almost half the size of the Star Destroyer, more expensive and with much less and less cool minifigs. But it's mainly due to the price, so I'm not sure that counts. The Spider Droid is definitely one of the least appealing sets, its only reedeming feature is the Commander Fox.

The Green Brick Giant Posted August 19, 2009 I finally thought of the worst sets are, and they are all City Center, and the only bad World City set... 7031-1: Helicopter 6477-1: Fire Fighters' Lift Truck 6478-1: Fire Fighters' HQ Who ever designed those better have been fired. The worst set has to be.... 6636-1: Command Post Central It's a 1998 set that they rereleased as a Legend type set in 2002!!! The set was god awful in 1998 and somehow got even worse in 2002! Thankfully LEGO took 2001 and 2002 off to think of new Town sets with World City and those sets were very nice, different, and in the old Town size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hewkii9 Posted August 19, 2009 Best - Either 10193 Medieval Market Village or 10185 Green Grocer, as they're both insanely detailed and exactly what AFOLs've wanted for a long time. Worst - I agree with The Cobra - that hospital is Barely even looks like a building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
