Routemaster

8273 Off Road Truck: over 800 pieces, alot fun to built, lots of function and play value, looks good. I think this set is a good choice for you.

Absolutely awesome. Excellent compilation of Lego parts and bricks. Haven't seen a better Star Wars MOC vehicle in a long time. Keep up the good work.

I'm from Dortmund, Germany. Sorry, forget to mention it. I also collect diecast models and when I had to find a username for this board I looked at a 1:24 Sunstar London Bus, a Routemaster. That's it.

Hi everyone, I'm 42 years old and I guess I'm one of the old farts here on the board. I have a two years old daughter and nearly a year back we started buying Lego stuff for her. I grew up with Lego, so we thought this would be a good idea to do the same with her. While standing right in front of the Lego shelf MY very first set was the Technic Tow Truck (8285). It's still one of my favorites. And I believe I'm addicted now. I bought more and more Lego Sets for me and other sets for my daughter; during the last twelve months I listed more than 100 sets on brickset.com. After buying more and more Technic sets I looked for the other themes. Star Wars of course (I'm one of the people who saw the very first SW in cinema back in 1977). Then Indiana Jones, Sponge Bob, City .... To make a long story short: I prefer big sets. The bigger the better (number of bricks, not box size). I like to build one set for a couple of hours. My biggest passion are the CREATOR-Sets (number of parts/reasonable price, lots of ideas) I like stuff like the SW Sand Crawler (10144), the Imperial AT-ST (10174), the Dino Air Tracker (7298), Creator Town House (4954), several Technic Sets like the Fork Lift (8416), Truck 8436, Off Road Truck (8273) any many more. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your review. I also picked this set up today at TRU here in Germany. I have to admit those Creator sets are my favorite sets. Forget those Star Wars and Indy sets - this is the real deal.
