Thanks for this very nice review WhiteFang! Although that this impulse looks rather simple I totally agree on the minifig points you make here. It is a great and a cheap way to own the new Atlantis minifig and gear and "discover" the theme without having to buy a large set. The minifig looks very interesting and the new headgear looks pretty impressive. Great comparison you've made with the Aqua Riders one. (What a great minifig that is! Damn you dark ages! ) I've noticed something else too. In the pictures where the jet is depicted from 2 different angles, the shape of it looks like a manta ray. I had never noticed that before. I'm going to buy some LEGO tomorrow and you've conviced me to buy my first Atlantis set. Thanks again for the review!

There is already a topic about this HERE. Cool find though.

Or perhaps to test network's and distribution channels' confidentiality and endurance!

Pure perfection is what I see! Well done ISC! This is truely an amazing work! There are so many individual details in this MOC and I just can't stop looking at it. The stained glass windows look very realistic, especially when the light passes through them. Impressive! Really beautiful work! Thanks for the great pictures!

Great job lightningtiger! A well played card... Keep on investigating!

Great news K-D! Thanks for that! I'm really curious and pretty excited to see what we are going to get. My main concern and what makes me happy more is that TLG has slowly but steadily started releasing more city-life oriented sets and that's a thing to celebrate in my opinion. This new set sounds just great and just by looking at the TRU drawing my imagination goes wild. Vivid, busy, colourful! Just like the old days!

Excellent work Svelte! The colour choice you've made is just beautiful and the whole design is really eye capturing! I just love LEGO buildings that have a different style from the ordinary! Man, those trees... Thanks for the pictures!

Yes! It was about time for multiples in different colours! Great work Selander! There are so many! Orange, red and dark grey are my choices. You've got yourself a traffic friendly city now!

Very nice work Willdog! To answer your question, my opinion is that it perfectly blends with the other city sets. It seems that it matches with the City Corner building great. I really like the colour scheme and the columns you used fit just perfect! They really add to the overall chinese-oriental look. Great work and welcome to EB!

Pre-dark ages bricks, Post-dark ages bricks. That my only sort at the moment. (If you can call that a sort.)

Happy birthday guys and enjoy your day! Keep the expansion going on your great layout Alex!

Wow, Chris, your posts were excellent and very useful! Thanks friend!

Thanks a lot guys for your very nice comments! Wow, hearing these words from you Svelte is truely an honour! Thanks! I must agree that the Farm subtheme is one of the best moves TLG has made because it brought variety in the City theme. And how about that bacon huh? Thanks Laurie! I must admit, you gave me the motive to unpack all of my farm sets and bring them together for a picture. It's just a quick photo I took since unfortunately the lack of space is preventing me for having them on display. The display looks a bit crowded but I was on a rush. Enjoy the real thing btw!

Lightningtiger is from the land down under. Men At Work sing "Land Down Under". I get it! P.S Nice scene! After all, someone's got to test the benches before being given to public eh?

Great work TheBrickster. The GE is a great addition and the whole block looks excellent. I'm still sceptical about the size of them though -- in general that is, not just in your layout. The tunnel looks very nice too and I really like that you've added a desert scene. The small river coming from the sea is an excellent idea. Btw, was there an old town where your new town is now? Perhaps a Ghost town? :skull: Someone or something still haunts the place. So many LEGO so little space...

Very nice scene Selander. All vehicles look great, especially the front loader. The orange smart car looks fantastic! The snow on the other hand isn't too realistic. You should use 1x1 white round plates instead to represent snow. Great work!

Welcome to Eurobricks FilmGirl27. Enjoy your time in here and have a great time! There are some great movies topics in the Community section of the boards. Be sure to check it out. EDIT: I think you've already did.

Sets or themes that never made it to production. Here is a BS member's folder containing some more and here is the EB topic about it. If only we had this in our hands... EDIT: Etzel was a bit faster.

Spotlight!

Open helmets is also my choice, but NO MORE WARM AIR FOR ME!!!! Honestly.... It's still winter for crying out loud and we had 25 degrees today. With all these, only one thing comes in mind: A nightmare on Elm Street! "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you..." :skull: ( The traffic policeman that is...) Great movies!

Even nature wants us to wear helmets. European land down under here... The weather plays some dirty tricks to us....It made me forget to count and calculate properly.

This combination was the first that came into my mind. Now that's &$%#&*@(*%$#.... Especially when having a plate (not a baseplate, since you can bend it a little and have the solution) and a 1x1 or 1x2. The surface these small plates take on another plate is minimum and there is almost no chance of taking those apart without extreme frustration and a good amount of swearing. The 1x1 plate on a 1x1 round plate is also *F word* irritating. Frustrating Nice topic!

Amazing review! A great thanks for all the detailed photos and the fun moments Svelte! Man, GE looks absolutely beatiful! I bought my first modular--Cafe Corner, what an excellence!-- about a month ago and built it last weekend and I must say that this one HAS to be next to it. All the details look fantastic and the building design is just great! Grey, dark green and tan produce a wonderful result for the eyes. Thanks again for the splendid review Svelte and a great thanks to Jamie Berard for this marvellous set!

Amazing review with excellent clear pictures Rufus! That last photo really made laugh! They are not called cheese slopes for nothing. I still remeber this set for the 80s catalogues and I always wanted to get my hands on that baseplate. Two vehicles-rovers, four minifigs, a great set from the past! Btw, every time I look at the good old LEGOLAND boxes I feel . Thanks again for the great review!

Very impressive and quite accurate. Thanks for the photo Front. I just hope that this isn't a sign of what's coming in the future when it comes to vehicle wideness and size in LEGO sets.
