WesternOutlaw Posted December 1, 2006 Hard choice. I understand your dilema. I would suggest you hold off and put the $ toward a 2007 set. I really like the crane and would love it myself for that city/train scene I'll resurrect one day, but I do like the sub too. It's the first larger Adventure Sub that's mini-fig scale. I voted for the crane, but now I'm re-thinking my choice. What to do? Wait for 2007 and buy neither. I've gotten very selective over sets I buy these days as collections can grow out of hand.

oo7 Posted December 1, 2006 Thanks for the wise words. I don't regret buying the crane (I haven't opened it yet) and I haven't bought to many things this year so I can afford this with some left for 2007. The only thing I really want in 2007 anyway is the Aqua Raiders shipwreck, some city (primarily the sea port), and maybe one small star wars set. From my perspective I think you voted well. BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE GRAVEYARD DUEL!!! It's the first larger Adventure Sub that's mini-fig scale. What do you mean by this, are you saying that out of all sytem lines this sub is the only one that is big but also has a good design? Alpha team subs were in good scale but of bad design. Or are you not classifing that as an "adventure sub". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulC Posted December 8, 2006 If the crane gets just two more votes, it will have won after all! Go Crane! I think it's a fantastic set and you made the right choice oo7. And phred's comment is spot on... a lego toilet! Sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted December 8, 2006 The crane set is amazing! *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oo7 Posted December 8, 2006 Yes, I will ceratinly enjoy the Traveling Johnny, one of the major points I'm looking forward too. X-D It was tied 19 to 19, and when Paul made his post someone voted for the Crab but now it is back tied at 20 to 20. I wonder who voted for the crab in between. As I said before I bought the crane already but it's still MISB as I type. Since I spent over $50 they gave me a cute carton box that Dunkin Donuts must have donated (I'm being sarcastic here) that I can fill up at the PaB next time I go there after Christmas. 8- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minifig Lecturer Posted December 8, 2006 Well I think you should buy the crane, but rather than make the crane, use the pieces and make some MOC cranes as these will probably be of a better scale and suit your town. This is what I did last month, but I built the real set first. Its good, just way too big! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exo attack Posted December 29, 2006 If you want rare pieces, get the city crane. If you want playability and cool pieces, get the crab crusher :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghoulrealm Posted December 29, 2006 So.... are you enjoying the crane that you wasted your money on? X-D In all honesty, I don't like the sub being yellow either, but I would have choosen that sub over a crane reguardless of color and even if it had no crabs.
