Jopiek, that is a very simple and interesting technique to illustrate wheat field. It's very nice. Now, how can we pushed the farmer into the field without damaging the wheats?

This is a fanastic landscaping moc. I am very impressed by the way you built it especially the facade of the waterfall. Truly one of the most enjoyable mocs I had ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all of you whom had showed great liking towards to one of my favourite childhood sets. Flyut, if you need decals for the stickers that are featured in this set. Hang around here until ImperialShadows drop by to give you a little surprise if he is free. Sandy, I appericate your constructive comments in order to improve the quality of my review. I had amended the word "chief" to "chef". You might want to check it. I did not notice that I was using the wrong word. As for the poll definitions which have been used, for 1 to 5. We used "Poor" to represent value "1" while "Outstanding" to represent value "5". We need to use clear definitions to illustrate and demostrate non-bias towards the review for the readers to cast their vote depending on their individual liking. Therefore, we used a common word which is known as "Average". In surveys, for measuring its sample size's liking, we have to use words which is neutral such as Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, Strongly disagree. That's why, we used this rating approach to represent the terms. I am hoping to see a pizza outlet again, maybe in 2010. Well, Peeron can sometimes be not very accurate but it can served as a very useful guide in most areas.

Hello all Eurobricks members and Classic Town Lovers, *** Editor's Note: To mark the celebration of Classic Town, this set which is released in 1994 and re-released as a LEGEND in 2002. Pizza to Go Review, is dedicated to Classic Town's opening cermony and members such as Hinckley, Brickster, ImperialShadows, Sinner and many others whom have contributed to the final success of Classic Town! Thank you so much for inviting me to be part of this wonderful project, and I wish all the best to the success of Classic Town! I urge everyone of you to check out Classic Town and take alook at the cool stuff we have done! *** Today, I will be doing up a review on Pizza To Go set. This outlet is one of the most favourite eatery for any LEGO citizens living in their town. When they are driving on the road, they are sure to look out "PIZZERIA" signage. They offer the best pizza in town. No one in town can resist the delicious aroma of Pizza, coming out from the red chimney. Let us find out why is this shop so popular among so many LEGO citizens and was one of the famous sets that is re-released under the "LEGEND" theme. Pizza To Go is my favourite set of all time. I believed there is no other pizza outlet lying around in any LEGO city apart Pizzeria. It seemed there are the sole outlet that is selling pizza for many years. This set was re-released in 2002 and it is part of the LEGEND theme. This is one of the few sets that are highly demanded to be brought back by many fans of LEGO around the world. I owned the 6350. Any members whom had owned both sets before? Is there any difference between these two? Because when I searched through Peeron, it shown 144 pieces instead of 194 pieces for the 1994 set. Name: Pizza To Go Theme: LEGO System / Town Year: 1994 (Re-release: 2002) Pieces: 194 Minifigs: 3 An image of a 6350, Pizza To Go Let the delivery begins! Pizza To Go is the regular pizza outlet that sells nothing but pizza. They deliever pizza to every household in town, with their trusty delivery van. Walk-in are welcomed too. There is a stand for customers to dine in their pizza quickly before making their way to their next destination. In my opnon, no town can ever survive without the Pizza Tradition! Devoted "PIZZERIA" staff Every outlet comes with 3 dedicated staff, making sure that operations will run smoothly. On the left, we will have the Pizza Boy, whom is wearing the regular blue dungarees and its white cap. I wonder who is that boy? On the middle, we will have the Pizza Girl. She looks like any typical sweet girl in town that the boys will look at. She is wearing a suntop strapless on her. She reminded me of one person though, I think her name is called Alice. Taking a careful look, I wonder if ImperialShadows is the Pizza Boy back then, without that black patch on its left eye? On another note, this mini-figure was my favourite. Female mini-figures are very uncommon back then. I am glad I have this figure, adding to my town population. On the right, we will have the hardworking chef, preparing the pizzas in the oven. He wears the regular white chef outfit, but he wear a grey pants instead of the usual full-white outfit in most resturants such as Breezeway Cafe (6376). Let's take a closer look at the Pizza Boy's van! This van is very very small looking and very fuel efficient. It is able to cut lanes very fast due to its small size. The pizza van is made up of 4-studs wide design. No doors by the side. However, in this vehicle, I think the doors is not a must to be included in this design. Our Pizza Boy will need to leave vehicle pretty fast, and ensuring that the pizza delivery is on time. Common mechanism This van has the regular rooftop that can be lifted up to place the Pizza Boy into the driver seat. There is a sun roof on its top, which enable him to let him have some sunlight from above! The logo on the side of it, is actually a transparent sticker, which have the PIZZERIA itallian logo and a tasty looking pizza on both sides of its van. I like that sticker very much. Mine looks quite worn out over time. If its a printed piece, It will be a terrific bonus. Nevertheless, I can still accept the sticker. Our pizza van can deliever up to 2 pizza at a go! At every trip, 2 piping hot pizza will be stored at the back of the van. The pizza is fitted in perfectly in each compartment. Furthermore, the white window shutter, is terrific in this design. You don't see this kind of design anymore. I think, I have not seen much delivery vans on the street anymore too. Base of the van From the base, you can see that it is using of the regular red car base that is common in most 4-studs vehicle design. In fact, this car base served as a foundation for its vehicle design. Back of PIZZERIA Alice and the Chef will be showing you around at the back of the kitchen. There is an oven on the left, a water tap and a holder for the oar stick. Looks pretty empty right? Look below for a surprise! My favourite feature! This oven can be used to heat up 2 pizzas at a go. Now, I understand why, this set is named "Pizza To Go". I have been using their slogan unknowingly. This feature is superb nice. Now, we know that the pizza is prepared from the outlet instead of using delivery van to collect it from a factory. Alice, what are you waiting for? Help the Chef quickly! PIZZERIA! The signage sure looks big from far and catches their attention easily too with its pleasnt looking design. As you have already noticed, this is made up of sticker. I don't mind, for this set, it contains sticker. Sometimes, I do hope they can give us spare sticker for us to change, after a long period of time. Distinct red chimney This is the front of the oven, and that is where the smoke comes out. Using only bricks to construct this, is simply wonderful. I like the use of their white bricks to construct the wall layout, and a combination of red parts, especially on the top. I like the look of this very much. Another picture on its side Printed parts In this set, you will get a total of 5 pizzas! And, I believed no other sets offer so many pizza. You can placed up to 4 pizzas in the van and oven. Alice will be carrying the last pizza around. The green and red round dish is a printed part. Most Exclusive part in 6350/10036 The most unique and important printed parts that is only exclusive in this set. It's at the front of the Pizza van. It is none other, but the Pizzeria logo, standing at the front of the delivery van. (Forgotten to take a picture of this piece, took it from Peeron.) Different views of Pizza To Go outlet Another bright sunday day in Pizza To Go! Summary review Playability: 10/10 (A lot of playing by doing up the pizza process. From preparing to delivery) Design: 9.5/10 (Outstanding design, with great use of bricks. I like the structure of it very much) Price: 9.5/10 (An inexpensive set based on the 1994 pricing. It comes with 3 mini-figs, shop, a van, and a exclusive printed piece) Overall: 9.7/10 (I am not trying to be bias. In fact, this set is absoultely filled with minimum flaws. Look at my review again, if you are not satisfied with it, or tell me what you don't like!) 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)

Norro, I agreed with you. The mini poster or brochure are fanastic and is great for pin up. For exampe, in the 6083 Samurai Stronghold, it included this mini poster as well which I had included in the review.

This is a very nice castle moc. The best part of it, is the entire castle is modular. You are able to re-arrange it whatever you like. I think this is a very nice castle. I am supposed this is the small section of your castle grounds. On the skull issue, I think it's not very nice to have it, especially when you are intending to use it for the good faction. It looks a little too evil. Great job!

This is a very nice Ninja set, which featured a samurai. A great army building set, which include a full Samurai outfit plus a horse. I can't find any flaws on this set. I will love to buy multiple sets of these without a blink of my eyes. I am a Ninja lover as well.

Actually, I intend to keep the second set as MISB for a long time. Because the first set which I had bought was not totally MISB. In fact, there is supposed to be a handle on the outer layer of the box. The shopkeeper took out the box, and I thought that was supposed to be the orignal packaging. I believe I can find some to replace it. Singapore don't have PaB. The selection here are too limited. I want to go to Orlando and take a bucket and filled it up with bricks. You can go back everyday to take the quiz and claim the prize if possible.

Nice one! The entire room scene is done in a very nice manner. I enjoyed viewing this very much, especially the curtains. I am very surprised of how you make used of the cap. The CDs are nice too. This is a very creative vig.

From Ldraw to real MOC, Step by Step
WhiteFang replied to Tenorikuma's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Very nice LDD. I love it so much, because you had made used of Forestmen. I am just wondering why did you use blue rooftop. Maybe, a little more green foilage will be better in order to illustrate more green into it. Good luck for hunting these parts you need. I will be looking forward to your final completion. -
It will be nice if someone posted a review of the Advent Calender. The user must include "Spoliers' warning". I know there are some people out there like Rancor love to do the Traditional way of building Advent Calender.

Welcome ForceMaster! Your english is readable, and I can understand what you are trying to convey. It's nice to see another Russian Bricklover. It seemed most of your fave themes are aligned with mine. I will see you often in the rest of the forums.

Welcome to Eurobricks! I am very surprised to see someone said, "I love Knight's Kingdom". It's a surprise. Enjoy yourself.

Finally, I can see some of Penguin's MOCs again! I am so glad you are back. Work must be tough and without Eurobricks and Internet connection, it's even tougher. Nevertheless, WhiteFang welcome you back to Eurobricks! This is a very cool looking MOCs that modelled from Two-Face getaway vehicle. This is an extended version of the orignal vehicle. The sticker is crafted very nicely. I like it very much as it looks so cute. The henchman and the toys is very nice. I love these crates of weapons stored at the rear of the van. This is a very nice MOC, and once again thanks for sharing!

This is a very interesting MOC with a fun added game. I love the bridge and the river flow very much. The river stream is done nicely, especially with the added colors to enhance its contrast.
-
We are wondering where have you been? I am so glad to see you return. I thought you might have retire into your dark age. Welcome back once again, Penguin! I am sure Batbrick is thrilled to see you!

Metalandi, thanks for doing up this review! This is a chance for me to gain some insight for Extreme Team theme. This is a very interesting set that can be used for so many purposes. 3 different vehicles, wide range of accessories and nice minifigs. What I love the most, is the mountain, bridge and tent. It provided so much playability. I am very impressed with it. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats everyone for your efforts to keep up with this MOC Triathlon. Everyone of you has done very well. Slyowl, I hope to see such contest again. It's a real challenge, to do up these entries. Oh, to the overall winner, Congrats Sir Nadroj

Let me add my 2 cent worth of comments, Firstly, as a collector myself, I collect both Castle and Star Wars themes. However, my main interest is Castle due to army building, medival, fantasy, castles, carriages, dragons, demons, undead, rangers, archers, and etc. These are some of the key terms which you will defintely come across in your Castle collection. Whereas, Star Wars is created by George Lucas, and is an expensive licensed theme which will command one of the highest re-sale value (MISB/Opened) among all known LEGO themes after the license is expired. I do collect Star Wars too, but based on "sets selection" process. In simple terms, I purchase Star War sets which appeal to me the most such as X-Wing, Y-Wing, ISD, Hoth Rebel Base, Imperial Landing Craft and etc. I don't complete the entire range as it's way too expensive to complete everything. I had actually done some maths before. In order to complete every single set of Star Wars which is released back in 1999 or 1998 (I am not very sure) It can cost as much as SGD$35,000 including all UCS sets as well. I am only treating Star Wars as my part time collection. To conclude, I will buy more multiples of Castle, compared to Star Wars sets. For example, I will rather buy 40 Royal Joust and 60 Crossbow attack, instead of the battlepacks. It's too expensive to build such massive army with such hefty price. On the downside, Castle is not as valuable compared to Star Wars market value. It really depends on yourself, whether you love that theme, or getting that theme because everyone is buying it or thinking it is cool. Follow your heart, and you decide the "TRUTH VALUE" between Castle and Star Wars theme. WhiteFang

Alternate Weapons for the Crown Kingdom
WhiteFang replied to Francis Marion's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
To reinforce iamded's illustration of the mace which is featured in the center. This is a very cheap way to create such type of weapons which I had used for my Skeleton Battlepack.
