Thanks for @Ngoc Nguyen to discover this, lego has now removed b model instructions from older technic sets. Here is a example https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/building-instructions/42009 In my opinion this is really sad, and now it seems lego has entered the modern gaming era. Where every game is only online and the game developer can switch off the servers and the game is forever gone:(. Luckily some youtuber still have the instructions:). And, you can link every preserved b model instructions in here so have fun:). This will soon turn into a instructions archive:).

That's really sad:(. Lego has been now turned into the modern gaming era where every game is only online and the game developer can switch off the servers and the game is gone forever:(. I have now created a general discussion topic for the "lost media" Instructions:). -
Well, i have seen many brick reviewers moving out for much bigger studios for they bricks;). Im since a really humble person i do live in rented two room apartment with about 56m², and yes i do not afford a house so, i live in block of flats(yeah i had to google what is a kerrostalo in english, and still the block of flats sounds wrong, but the high rise suggestion is even worse because in finland we don't have skyscrapers;).). And in case you are wondering, nope i will not move in to a massive studio space. I still refuse because i want to put my pennies in brick building than a massive studio space. So because i have now make the ground breaking decision to review every month a new pantasy set, i will have to became really creative with my apartment space. And i have started going to local recycling centers recently in search for a cheap usable tables, and yes, im really different kind of reviewer because always my photo shots looks pretty rough by modern standards, but i don't like purchasing a backround so that in mind i use every corner of my apartment for taking pictures. And my style is to be really small operation with funding in my own pocket and i want to stay true to earth without any flashy backrounds or massive golf course sized studios;). So my production scale will stay always stay true to earth and that is my style. Its good to be unique in this same looking internet era:).

Well, i probably will start doing a monthly update:). Last month i launched my first Pantasy set review:). And tides have turned i have now becomed a pantasy fan and i will do every month att least one pantasy review:). So i will not make anymore offical lego sets reviews. Because of the recent lego price developements, i have decided to stop buying lego's, but this don't affect my mocs because i still buy lego pieces for my mocs but i mostly buy them used:). So about my mocs:). My recent moc the g500 has done pretty well i have currently no new projects:). Upcoming stuff:). I did sell my old bike so in october you will see a lot of pantasy set reviews:). Ps, im not a lego hater i like what they do but recent price developements are too much for me and pantasy has made many great models with amazing value, so i have becomed a pantasy fan and collector going forward. So i have completely stopped buying offical lego sets for display. I only buy lego technic pieces for my moc building spree, but you won't see me reviewing anymore offical lego sets:). And other note, my instructions will be still free eventhought i do monthly pantasy set review. So don't worry the pantasy review spree will not affect my instructions, because i fund everything with my own hard earned money;).

Well, i decided to sell my old bike. So that means i will have the freedom to buy a massive bulk of pantasy sets. So october will be one hell of a ride. You will probably see a dozen pantasy sets reviews. And i can build my pantasy city, don't worry i will still do a monthly reviews of pantasy sets because they are releasing soo many cool stuff every month to keep my self busy to make quality reviews for you, so have a fun time:).

In case you are wondering, yes i have now about over a 10 pantasy sets in my wishlist and review backlog. So because i can only buy one in each month this review spree will take over a year and pantasy does release soo many cool sets so often that im in trouble now. But pleace enjoy this review spree and my struggles for display space. And i really want to raise awarness about these good alternative brick companies. And i do really enjoy building and reviewing pantasy sets so at least i have a lot of fun building and making reviews for the pantasy sets;).

Well, nope:/. And if you have some questions about the monthly reviews here is Q&A for you:). Question, will the reviews be completely surprise ?. Answer, yes all reviews are completely surprises and i will buy pantasy sets which interest me:). Question, how you do afford to make monthly reviews without charging anything for the instructions ?. Answer, i have 160€ monthly budget to buy pantasy sets, and pantasy's most expensive sets cost around 150€ like the craft brewery:). Question, how you will display these sets ?. Answer, i don't know, i probably will buy bigger used desks to my house:). Question, have you ever builded a lego city before this monthly review spree ?. Answer, nope i have not made any lego cities so the pantasy/"lego" city build is completely new to me:). So have a fun time and next review will come in october:).

Pantasy Craft Brewery review. Hello today i will be showing again a really exciting pantasy set. The Craft Brewery Specs Model name, Craft Brewery. Set number, 85023. Piece count, 3300+. Minifigure count 3. No stickers, this set has only printed pieces. Plus 2 unique plastic signs. Price, 150€. The box and shipping box:). The set arrived on a typical amazon shipping box with some protection paper inside:). The box is above medium size with nice artwork, and the box is really thick compared to the windmill workshop box, but othervice it has the same dimensions:). Here is a box comparison:). The box is about 90% full:). Inside there are 52 bags in total, 45 numbered bags with 10 building phases, 7 unnumbered bags, 32x32 plate(keep in mind not baseplate) and 2 instructions booklets. Instructions are splitted to 2 books. In total 756 building steps and 187 pages:). First and last pages of the box:). Other manual last page shows other pantasy sets. In this case our Finnish beloved childhood classic kids show the moomins:). And pantasy is the first building block brand which has the moomin license:). The 32x32 plate is good quality without any bending issues:). Interesting pieces and printed pieces:). Shiny chrome and gold pieces:). Unique plastic signs:). The build:). Bag 1 (4 bags in total) . Bag 2 (4 bags in total). Bag 2 started with a nice surprise, the printed elements were on separate bag inside of the bigger bag so they won’t get damaged during shipping:). Plus bag 2 had a ton of mind blowing brick engineering. Everything is legal building techniques even though lego doesn't use these techniques in their sets:). And the bottling machine was soo cleverly geniusly designed to make it move on specific timing:). Like this 1x3 brick. I was wondering why 1x4 wasn't used, but when I looked a little bit closer my mind was blown away there was a specific reason for this and that was soo genius technique:). Bag 3 (3 bags in total). Bag 4 (6 bags in total). Note the printed pieces on the bottle:). Bag 4 had also a lot of clever building techniques:). The barrel spinner connections are half stud off set. Bag 5 (4 bags in total). Here is the conveyor belt:). Bag 6 (3 bags in total). Bag 7 (3 bags in total). Again a lot of clever building techniques:). Bag 8 (4 bags in total). Again with clever building techniques:). Bag 9 (7 bags in total). Bag 10 (5 bags in total plus one unnumbered bag with 3 3x4 plates) plus minifigures (3 bags in total). Spare parts:). There was some color error. Because these 3x4 plates weren't used. And the correct color 3x4 plates were on separate bag:). The minifigures:). Outside details:). The interior:). The gramophone is an easter egg to this pantasy set:). https://pantasy.com/products/pantasy-gramophone-85009 The functions:). Impressions and pros and cons:). This set is so amazing looking with great functionality and playability. This is a pretty heavy model. Usually Lego competitors building is really mid, but pantasy is wiping the floor with lego level building experience. I had soo much fun putting this together even thought those clever windows were a bit repetive:). +Great building experience +Looks great +Minifigures look so good with great printing +Price, value, prints, unique pieces +Piece quality and instructions +/- The production line function is a great feature but you have to be really carefull when assembling this model, because it does need a lot of fine tuning to make it work perfectly:). - Slightly nitpiking the side green door is pretty loose and opens too easily Final verdict:). Building experience 4.8/5 Value 5/5 Piece quality 4.8/5 Instructions 4.8/5 Looks 5/5 Functions 4.8/5 So do i recommend to buy this set. Honestly yes, this is soo cool model which lego will be skipping due their no alcohol policy.

Coming soon. I will publish second pantasy set review soon:). And, i have made decision that i will not review offical lego sets in eurobricks anymore. Going foward, i will only review pantasy sets and maybe lumibricks and of course my mocs:). And in this time period when i got the windmill, i fell in love with pantasy sets, so going foward you will see hopefully every month a new pantasy set review. So have a great time:). Ps... And to make clear, im not a lego hater i like, what they do. But their prices are too much for me(for example like the new 1000€ death star) . And pantasy for example has made a ton of great looking sets for affordable prices, so i maded a switch. But i still buy lego technic pieces for my mocs, but othervice i have stopped completely buying lego's:).
