This is an unusual looking fire engine. What did you base it on?

Isn't the whole point of a crook's hideout that it can't be found?

Autistic Spectrum Disorder? Because I certainly have that! You'd better hurry. It's officially retiring now. I don't understand why.

Are you happy with yellow minifigs, or would you prefer more race representation?

Trying to make it more 'Unimoggy'?

Very 'muscular'. Great use of limited parts, and definitely has that classic 'back of the box' feel!

I have both the polybags, but what's the first set?

I used to crash my Lego planes all the time, by dropping them! Some of my old wing pieces are dented. For a more realistic emergency, I would add fire pieces to the new family house, with the family still inside!

You could always say that it was a model year change. And that the released version was another model year. Did you try to persuade TLG that the new piece might work in the product?

I am going to try out the new roads. I know base plates might have looked better, especially in huge catalogue dioramas. But I never had the space to make a permanent town scene with them. These new plates should be better for temporary displays. As for the slightly narrower roads, perhaps because they still work in multiples of 8, they certainly don't look as narrow as the roads on last year's Advent calendar. My first haul of 2021 sets arrived today, along with a 2020 set, a free car, an Xtra bag, and three new CMFs, none of whom were actually on my wanted list

That is how the real thing works, but I never thought it would be possible with Lego.

I wouldn't blame them. There's a pandemic on, you know.

But both are owned outright by Volkswagen. They have quite an empire!

What were the results?

HEY!!
