Thanks. It's nice to see this review being revived. Do take care of these classic roadsigns. They can be quite fragile if you are not careful with it. Place those signs in a separate small box, and ensure no heavy stuff is placed on top of them such as bricks. At that point in time when I was doing this review, I was using this minifig to represent one of many TheBrickster sigfigs, even though its not completely accurate with a lack of certain parts. Yes, that minifig from the Adventurers set is Baron von Barron.

Ouch. I couldn't want Brickster to see this. If he sees this, when he come back, Brakes' life points will be deducted somewhere in the Emerald Express Mystery. Glad to see you guys coming up with great Classic Town entries. I must admit that TheBrickster is so close to overthrow, Hinckley's entry. Then again, all of you did an excellent job, and there is no doubt about it. Looking forward to your future entries for the next Classic Town contest.

Hi Chris, welcome to Eurobricks! Nice display over there at Bricksworld! I am glad you have decided to join our community, and I am sure you will have lots of fun and great time with our fellow members! See you around.

Unfortunately, there isn't a LUG in Singapore, and as far as I am aware of, the Singapore 0937 Fanatics Group is the only local LEGO community scene, which both you and I are members in there. I just notice that you are a member in there.

Hello fico86, welcome to Eurobricks! It's great to see a fellow Singaporean in here! I am very sure you will find this place, a very friendly interactive envirnoment. Do check out our Eurobricks Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team for more tips and inspiration. Looking forward to see you around.

I thought you had forward it to Shadows earlier. Thanks! It's great to see you adding some nice touch into this. This boat is too small for you to fish. I saw this set, as your first fishing boat, as you continue to build up your fishing resources. The steamboat looks real nice too. Geez, those Fabuland sets reminds me lots of memories. Glad you enjoyed viewing this review.

Thanks guys! I am glad you guys enjoy this review very much, bringing you back to memory lane. Seriously, I am very fond of this Classic Town vehicles, and it's really very small and easy to handle for storage. I am really impressed that those printed parts really stood through the test of time. It certainly could last much longer and better than stickers.

It has been a long time since I last done something for EB News. Thanks to ImperialShadows and Staudie for helping me out with the usual funny dialog input. Don't worry, there will be a few more coming up. Edit: ILikePi, I have amended it. Thanks.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, it is me again, the ever vigilant and popul- *large hook comes on/stage and pulls him off* I knew that thing was a good investment. Now while Larry gets WhiteFang out of the closet, ImperialShadows is getting our guest, Sinner aka Siegfried. Today we will be reviewing 3633 Motorboat, another small Fabuland set! Name: Motor Boat Theme: LEGO / Fabuland Year: 1986 Pieces: 14 Minifigs: 1 Price: USD$5.25 Resources: Brickset, Peeron Here's my little boat-y taken apart. Look at those curves! Clean up in isle 1, we have a walrus saliva spill. This is the helm, and this is how you start her. *takes notes* That is a very nice looking one. So Sinner, a while ago there was a discussion about yer.. thing. Don't go there. I was wondering, can we borrow it to use as a Johnson Rod? He had to go there. *Grrrr* *Whiiir* *CRASH* Excuse us, did you loose a strange white thing, about yey high and mildly annoying? Errr... Apologies, my mate and I will help you to retrieve him out of there. You nutter! How did you even manage to drive it on land? He has a talent for doing things like this. Here is a fish Mr.Seal, I am sorry bout your boat. Psst, kid, he's a walrus. Mr. Walrus Get back here you little red robot! I will shove this fish so far up your... Jeez! Just say you don't like tuna, no need to make a scene! This reminds me of my younger days... Back when I had some dignity. Before I joined EB News... Oh, that scene, I remember you puked on me when you are feeling seasick... I don't actually get seasick, I was just losing all of my integrity in one shot and figured it might as well end up on you. Shadow's Opinion: Staudie is an idiot. What's not to love here? Well, aside from the fact that I tried ordering a yellow Fabuland rowboat once on BL, paid for the order, then the seller told me they couldn't find it... Whatever the case, this is a great set. I give it a 972. Hinckley's Opinion: FABULAND RULEZ numbered rating systems SUCK, Shadows! That wasn't really him, you know, but I'm sure the sentiment is accurate. Matter of fact, I'd give it a 9 for accuracy. Not a 9 out of any number, just a 9. Stauder's Opinion: A simple build, but nice boat hull piece, and the design is not too bad either. All Fabuland sets have a certain charm after seeing the possibilities. WhiteFang's Opinion: A very nice addition to my Fabuland collection. More importantly, this Fabuland figure shall serve as a very good sigfig for Siegfried. This set is extremely easy to build, and some of these parts are really very nice, especially the boat. *Signal Fades*

Hello everyone, It has been a long while since I last done a Classic Town review. Recently, I went to look around eBay and saw quite a few good classic sets, and part of these few good ones is this set which I am going to review now. First of all, I will like to extend my thanks to legofan from Singapore to assist me in this recent eBay purchase. Without him, it could not be possible to add this set into my current Classic Town collection. In addition, this is also another good way to remember my 5000th posts in Eurobricks. Name: Red Cross Theme: LEGO System / Town Year: 1987 Pieces: 44 Minifigs: 1 Price: (?) (Please provide the price if you happened to know.) Resources: Brickset, Peeron An image of a 6523, Red Cross Emergency rescue is on its way In the bustling street of Classic Town, there is bound to have emergency rescue to save the citizens whom is in danger. This small Red Cross vehicle is always on stand by, moving out from the hospital building whenever there is an emergency. This is the kind of Classic Town set, which simply reminds you of your childhood. 6523 Red Cross alternate designs Take a look at these classic alternate designs for the Red Cross. We don’t see much alternate designs anymore in the past recent years. These alternate designs served a very good purpose of the possibilities of expanding our imagination to further innovate with the current design. Like the design below, it’s an effective simple white cruiser open top design for civilians to drive on. I certainly missed these feature, which is lacking from the recent sets. Instruction Manual This is a sneak peek at its instruction manual of step 4 to 6, where it demonstrates the building of its car base and exterior. These building steps mostly served as a foundation for 4-studs vehicle. A Doctor or a Paramedic? This lovely lady, dressed in medical uniform could be easily identified as a paramedic or mistaken as a doctor, similar to the recent CITY 7902 Doctor Car. One of the visible clues that it implies that is likely to be a paramedic is the lack of the stethoscope. I supposed the brown suitcase contains the necessary medical equipment to save lives. Printed parts These printed Red Cross parts are very precious. If this set was created in present day, there is a likely hood that the printed portion will be made of stickers. There is also another 2 additional sets which also made use of this. Vehicle base This black Classic Town car base is widely seen in most 4-studs wide vehicles. With this car base, it’s possible to create any form of designs such as police car, civilian cars, repair vehicle, pizza van and etc. To create any Classic Town vehicle of this size, this car base is required. Inserting the mini wheels Different views of the 6523 Red Cross This Red Cross vehicle is filled with many details in such a small base. There is a nice windscreen with doors by the side plus a rear compartment for the paramedic to store their stuff at the rear. Lifting the rear storage area Closer look at the rear storage area The rear window is part of the playing mechanism, for the paramedic to retrieve her stuff out of the vehicle without lifting the boot. Inside the rear compartment, it can store a suitcase or small sized items. You can see how big the rear compartment above is. Classic Town Vehicular Standards I really missed those doors and lifting up those car roofs. Such design is apparently can be seen only back in those days of Classic Town. It can be considered a Classic Town standard for those vehicles back then where they made use of these parts to enhance the playing mechanism for the children. It’s very simple, but adds lot of fun and realism to it, especially the doors. Ready for duty! Overall, I am glad I have gotten this set much later. Even though this set was not part of my childhood collection, but I am pleased to find this set to be of much use and fun that can simply adds to your vehicle collections. Furthermore, this was a chance for me to own a Classic Town paramedic vehicle, and the design suited my taste very well. I am aware that the size of this set doesn’t make up of the fact that it is similar to the real Red Cross vehicle, but I am sure back then, small vehicles like this attracts many children to play with LEGO. I was one of them. Summary review Playability: 8.5/10 (The vehicle mechanism such as the rear compartment is one of the nice factor, and this set can be integrated easily with other town layout as well.) Design: 9.5/10 (The design is really very excellent especially when most design considerations are used.) Price: 9/10 (This set should be affordable back then, similar to the current impulse sets.) Overall: 9/10 (A great small set that is nice to add in your Classic Town collection.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? Hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Critics are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Brickshelf (When moderated)

Congratulations Hinckley! Well done, and amazing work. You have really outdone yourself. I am sure, I will be one of the first few to be able to do so.

Thanks for sharing this info with us! Below are some new images from Shop@Home, first post has been updated.

Thanks for pointing it out. I must have been reading it backwards. All related links have been amended.

Thanks penguinz, for doing this new Racers RC set. 8183 Track Turbo RC

I will strongly advice that you don't ask others, to do something that is of your own relevance interest. It's an idea inside your head, and if you want things to work it out, you should be the one to construct and layout your blueprint filled with detailed rules, concept, background, summary and etc. Such things are part of the process of planning an RPG game. Someone have to start somewhere, and if you are really keen to do this, why don't you do it yourself.

Apologises. This review is not completed, and it was written by another user. Therefore, this review was not added to the index. Thanks to penguinz and Natman8000 for these great reviews, 8957 Mine Mech Review 2 4742 Chill Speeder 8968 River Heist [Review 2]

Too much loyal blood and innocents have been spilled the way. I trust Dayton and Al, but I have to make a choice yesterday, and my instinct tells me to trust him. 2 nights ago, I dropped Qunicy a visit, and his behavior was very strange, more like not feeling ease when he saw me. Our numbers are few, and we still have to sniff out the renegade. Don't be sway by his lies.

It's most unfortunate that Dayon has given his life away... We won't make his life go in vain. I have sources that you are the last traitor among us as well... I will follow this vote.. No time to lose solders, let's wrap it up soon.. Vote: Pvt. Quincy J. Mann /Quarryman

Let me re-phrase myself clearly, before you start to have wrong ideas. Buy/Sell/Trade/Find (BSTF) is indeed the right forum to discuss trade related stuff. However, in this very topic, the agenda is supposed to address the current situation of finding LEGO products in New Zealand and it's totally not related to personal trade perspective. In this way, others might find mixed information reflecting onto this topic which will results the intended content to be cluttered. I will propose that you start a topic in the BSTF, to start with, and writing those items down in a clear and defined manner. Thanks.

Please stay on topic. This is not the right place to discuss probable trade or non-related content to the discussion agenda. Thanks.
