Oh most definatly. I have no use for these wheels AT all. Except a tire fire... Why do I doubt that car has steering... Well, I'm not liking much of any of this. I am waiting for the larger sets in the summer, like the Cool Convertible set from this year!

Apart from being a clone brand, these do look pretty useful Thanks for showing this. -VBBN

Yes, I believe their is a topic specificly for the "What should I buy" subject. However, I searched around and I can't seem to find it, so I'm assuming it is a little old. And anywhay, it's pretty much your decision. I would reommend the Command center, though.

Hello again and welcome back to yet another City review by VBBN! Today I shall be reviewing set 7737, 4WD & Jet Scooter. Is this the best set that you can get in the City theme for $10? Read on to find out! Set name: Coast Guard 4WD & Jet Scooter Number: 7737 Theme: City-Coast Guard Pieces: 130 Price: $9.99, €12.99, Unknown GBP. S@H link, Peeron Entry, Instructions(PDF File) -------------------------------------------- Part 1/Box Front of Box: Now as we have come to expect with City sets, the box is clean, smooth, and very pleasing to the eye. For a $10/€13 set, the box is a little small. Actually, it's perfectly szed. Their are quite a few parts, which takes up more room in the box. Other notes about this part of the box are that it has the American information. Europeans, Australians, and possibly other countries might now recieve this informaion on their box. A Choking Hazard has also been added. Back of Box: The back of the box shows three seperate images of the set, mainly the functions of the set. I am still trying to identify the building in the skyline in the backround. Part 2/New and/or interesting parts: Parts: Wow. Firstly, the gray piece to me is new. I'm not sure if it is old or new, but either way, I want more of them. I need more of them. And those wheels are superb. They run VERY smoothly. Part 3/Build Minifigure: Apart from the yellowed picture, this guy is pretty nice. I am a little upset that he uses the yellow and blue color scheme. Personaly I would have liked to see the white, red, and reflective neon orange of the US coast guard. The "badge" with a float ring on it is a nice touch. Truck: This is by far the highlight of the set. EVERYTHING works well on this truck, which I believe is a Ford Explorer. The one and only downside is the rims. Will lego ever produce a bigger size of rims? I don't mean the huge ones from speed racer, I mean ones that will go around the wheels completely like these rims. The wheels are too big for the rims, and therefore make it look lik the truck has gotten a shock steroid. Back: The back of the truck has a small "shelf," which can be useful. The runnerboards are an example of the detail that Lego put in this set. Top View: Nothing much to see on the inside. Just a steering wheel. Trailer: The trailer was surprising to me, as I didn't know that the gear rack would be added on. I just love the orange flippers! Back: The plate is a sticker. Oh yes, almost forgot, their was a small ss in the set, but the stickers ween't to bad and they look fine. Jet Scooter: At this point it feels like the set will never end! And what a cute little boat this is. Nice use of the Bionicle minifig arm. Back: The motor is yet another attention to detail. Part 4/Finished Product: Front and Back: Ah, so finally we finish! And look at it! All for $10! A very good buy if you ask me. And so much gear! --------------------------------------------- Overall: Figs: 7/10 (I think I have explained my thoughts pretty thoroughly ;) ) Price: 10/10 (Very reasonable price) Price-Per-Part ratio: 8/10 ( I always find it hard to get a 10 in this category.) Final Verdict: 25/30- 83% If you find this set in a store, buy it. You won't be dissapointed. To sum it up, you are getting a great value for your money. I have voted this set outstanding. What are your thoughts? Stay tuned! Coming next time, Police Mobile Command Center. VBBN

Err...I like it. An interesting design. Of course, I don't want to spend 60 dollars for parts to build a bike. Christmas is coming however... Wait, isn't this topic for 2009 discussion?

Well, today was costume day at school, for halloween. The dance was today. Anywho, I was a little hoodlum. I got to wear my sunglasses though, so that was cool.

As long as you have a valid reason, they will probably change it. But as a normal member, their isn't a way to do it manualy. On a side note, would it be possible to have the "~"s removed from my name? VBBN

Whoops! I did not see that. But this does mean that the owner has done a great job on this MOC!

Brickshelf A very compact and detailed little truck, wouldn't you agree?
