simonwillems Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks very much for this review, a chance to see some more picturers then justbthe one in the catalog. The ship disappoints me though: practically no interior, no seat at the "bridge" and WHY are there technicbeams used inside the ship? There is one thing I do like about this boat: the way the binoculars stick out of the strobelights. Last years policeboat had a lot more detail and interior, I like that boat over this one. The lifeboat system is a nice idea but I think it's way to big to look realistic. But the review is nice.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwingyoda Posted February 10, 2007 The ship disappoints me though: practically no interior, no seat at the "bridge" and WHY are there technicbeams used inside the ship? Yeay, I am always disappointed by the lack of details on those sets but I think of kids: TLC need to keep the prices as low as possible ;-) And also, there is nothing we can't MOC hehe !! Those big Technic beams are just useless :-| I think its the cheapest way to get a long brick like that (at least that would be the only plausible explenation). *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks for the review yoda! *sweet* I already have the police boat and will get this one to accompany it. The lack of interior is disappointing but can easily be remedied. Maybe I'll put my Fire Command Craft "on" it... Overall I like it *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darthking623 Posted February 10, 2007 Be careful with mocing on lego boats because if you put to much wait on one side it could cappsise(that may have been the reason there isnt much interior on this ship (but i doubt it)). *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darthking623 Posted February 13, 2007 Well I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!! *y* In my mods of this ship i have: Made a wall that makes a little compartment in the front of the vessel.

Cutlass Cole Posted March 24, 2007 What do you people have against the Fire Hovercraft?! I own this set,and it is done well.The only things are that the Captain should have a life jacket, and more of an enteriour. If this set requires tweaking to bring out perfection, you shouldn't bash the FH! Great review by the way on this eluesive set.( And yes, a pirate can have a town too ). Police Hovercraft on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5150 Lego Posted March 24, 2007 When did we first see pics of this boat? This is the first i'm hearing about it. I must be blind! :-P Never the less, i love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UniqueBuilder Posted March 26, 2007 Overall, I like this ship, but I do prefer last the years' one. *wub* I don't like the lack of interior and (again) the Hovercrap-style side mounted water guns. :-| I don't think I'll be getting it, though. THANKYOU SO MUCH I WILL BE GETTING THIS IN ARGOS VERY SOON *y* Darthking623, don't write with capital letters, AS IT'S CONSIDERED AS SHOUTING AND SPAM!! *wacko* And don't double post, either! After your numerous double posts, capital letters, overflow of smilies, spamming, and other crap, I do NOT think you're far away from a ban! >:-( You don't have a birthday written in your profile, but it's easy to see you're max. 10 years old. :-| There is a reason, a Good reason, Eurobricks don't want people under 18 on their forums!

As far as the under 18 crowd you really need to be carfull about your coments. Thats rude, and completly uncalled for on your part. There are plenty of peeps on here that are under 18, and have no problems. I have never heard of people not here not wanting memebers under 18 as long as they are respectfull to others.

If I don't remember totally wrong, you should be over 18 to join Eurobricks, but, as you said, there's many out there under 18 (like me), but we don't act like 10-year olds and spam.
