Friction

haha. I usually get my sets from BigW or KMart. Toyworld & ToysRUs are too over priced for me unless they are having a sale.

I'll keep that store in mind. I'm only about 30 mins away from there.

Very cool. Which store is that? I am also from Brisbane area.

For anyone interested in buying the City - Airport (3182) Target are currently selling it during their toy sale for $98. $47 off the usual price.

holy smoke mate, that is absolutely the most outrageous build I have ever seen. Fantastic job!

That is awesome.

This is amazing! The detail in it is fantastic. Well done.

As promised here are the updated pics with a revised layout and City Corner added. I've also decided to call my city "Frictionicity".

I have to agree that it definitely looks better with road plates. The Limo and Helicopter was the first medium size set that I bought. Before that all I had was the Small Car, Sports Car and the Repair Truck. I have only started my collection since the beginning of the year. I bought City Corner today and will upload pics of it and my completed (for now) layout.

Thanks. 1 of my boys got a hold of it and snapped it off. I have a replacement part coming in the mail and should be here next week so I can fix it.

Sorry about the image sizes. Will remember for future. lightningtiger I use a Windows Image Resizer program with preset sizes. I automatically use 1024x768 when resizing, but will change for this site. I bought the 7642: Garage yesterday, but having problems placing it somewhere. Will upload photos when I have figured it out. May also be getting 7641: City Corner in a day or 2. --------------------------------- Well I figured I should upload some new pics anyway. I also picked up some road plates from Myer (AU$11.95) so these pics will include those.

Great review. I really have to get one of these. I picked up one of these today and love it. The only thing I don't like is the abnormal size of it. Most sets when constructed make good use of a 32x32 square, but this one measures 56x42. I can't see how this will interlock with other sets without leaving space in between road plates. If anyone has this and has it set up with road plates, please let me know and please show some pics.

Those are sick hotrods dude.

This set looks awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on one as soon as it becomes available. Thanks for the review btw.

Awesome job mate. Where do you get the stickers?

Can I have some more information about this please?

Yep those are on the wish list. Plus many more.

I agree it would look a lot nicer and less work for me, but AU$15 for 2 plates is a ripoff imo.

Which parts from 2007 do you think would go well? I have quite a few sets that I have on my wish list. Just saving up for them.

Hi all. I am new here so I thought I should show you what I have in the way of Lego. I first like to say that I think the price of the street plates are way to high so I have started to layout a city with roads on an old bit of MDF I had laying around the house. I think I will need a bigger piece however so this design may change in the future. As you can see in the pics I haven't finished drawing the layout. Here is what I have so far: 3177: Small Car 3178: Seaplane (Not pictured as it is missing 2 pieces) 3179: Repair Truck 3180: Tank Truck 3181: Passenger Plane 3222: Helicopter and Limousine 4932: Doc & Patient (Not pictured as it is on its way in the mail) 5610: Builder (Not pictured as I have to find the parts to rebuild) 5612: Police Officer 5613: Firefighter 5620: Street Cleaner 7235: Police Motorcycle 7236: Police Car 7241: Fire Car 7635: 4WD with Horse Trailer 7638: Tow Truck 7639: Camper 7642: Garage 7686: Helicopter Transporter 7736: Coast Guard Quad Bike 7741: Police Helicopter 7743: Police Command Centre 7744: Police Headquarters 8398: BBQ Stand 8401: City Mini-Figure Collection 8402: Sports Car I also have the Apple Tree House (5891) from Creator series. These items I am getting for Xmas: 7207: Fire Boat 7208: Fire Station 7213: Off-Road Fire Truck & Fireboat Here's the pics:
