  1. Very nice! Though with the current availability (or lack there of) I think the focus needs to be on getting the Saturn Rocket set out to the masses before haphazardly producing another set that we can't buy!
  2. As of 7/13/17 set still seems to be unavailable and if it weren't for how awesome this set really is, I probably would have distributed my budget elsewhere. Seems it has been about a month now that this set has been unavailable any specific date of availability would be nice to know.
  3. Greetings! Where I am going to buy this set, since I have not missed one yet and also have the "unofficial" winter village train (Set 10173-1), I can't help but notice the absence of a light brick which is in all f the past sets. Anyone else find this odd? Anyway, I am sure there is a way to rig a light brick to the merry-go-round as it spins.
  4. Greetings! Wonderful review! I just got done building part one of this set and like the details. I also liked the nice surprise of getting one of those new brick seperators in the set.
  5. Greetings! Thank you for the nice review! I can't wait, I have a copy comming in through the mail tomorrow!
  6. Greetings! I see a lot of good points here. I, like some of you, grew up during the "golden age" of Town (1980's-mid 1990's). We saw many beautiful sets like: airport shuttle 6399 cargo center 6391 airport 6392 public works 6383 We also saw the creation of several nice promo sets like: arla milk truck 1581 weetabix town houses 1484 maersk truck 1831 I went though a dark age from 1996 to 2008, what made me come back was the vestas wind turbine 4999. I thought this set did a good job of combining the classic cues of Town with it's more modern cousin City. Since then I have found an appreciation for the modular buildings and a lot of the city sets such as: city corner 7641 toys 'r' us 7848 recycling truck 4206 I have also found the creator series to be an excellent value for the houses that have come from that series. I believe it is safe to say that most of us Classic Town folks are required to adapt to City since Town as we know it doesn't exist anymore and to say we hate City would be almost saying that we aren't interested in Lego's anymore. Judging by how many people are on this forum I would say that we are quietly adapting to the new city sets. I know I have from time to time grumbled about needing other sets other than the same public services every year, but I feel that Lego is doing a pretty good job. I have found out that, through careful selection of city sets, that a person can successfully blend classic town sets with modern city sets and still have enough diversity. Another thing to think on: If there is not enough diversity, consider the many resources out there that are available to be able to make your own Classic Town MOC....Resources that weren't available when I was a kid
  7. Greetings! Wonderful design! I would say that this would give the professionals at Lego a run for there money! A small shunter train set would be a hot seller! HINT HINT to Lego
  8. Greetings! I would have to say that the Santa Fe Line was one of the best Lego has ever made! I don't even own one! I would then have to go with the Maersk set and probably the Metroliner. If this were considered a train, I would say that the Airport Shuttle 6399 would also make it in the top 5!
  9. Greetings! Great Review! I just recently aquired my copy of this wonderful set! Although, I was thinking that the truck was going to be larger in size, I still give it high marks for the design and the cool mining minifigure.
  10. Greetings! "Bricklink only shows 4 having been sold in the last 6 months!" Great review and congrads on graduating! I have to admit that at least two of thos yellow awnings was bought by me. It took me about three months to gather all the parts from bricklink to build my own copy...sure was worth it!
  11. Greetings! Nice review! I ended up buying this set on bricklink about 3 years ago for about $50 when it was all said and done. I felt at that time I got a deal considering that the set was mint in sealed box. I think it is a great set considering that lego is short on houses IMO. This set is a welcome addition to any town layout.
  12. has not set their status

  13. Greetings! Looks like a wonderful additional, although I am not sure I am going to be able to take on the $200 Price tag Great details though!
  14. Greetings! Yeah, I was afraid of that. The sign actually reads: "You can beat our prices...but you can't beat our meat!" The rest of the sign is a bit recessed behind the roof facade at that picture angle.
  15. B-OV-27D Greetings! This is my first attempt at MOC building so be easy!!! I figured with the recent release of minifigure series 6, that I would make a "home" for the friendly butcher. I was inspired to use the 8x16 base plate that was used on so many sets when I was growing up. Some examples include the Hamburger Stand, Pizza to Go, Bike Repair from City Corner, and Toys 'R' Us. This quaint meat shop contains a cash register, meat scale and meat display. It should feel right at home admist the other 8x16 small structures. Enjoy!
  16. Greetings! Thank you for the nice review. I have one comming my way through the mail... I can't wait!!!
  17. Greetings! Nice review on the steam roller. I was quite happy with the little set.
  18. Greetings! I found this set at the local TRU yesterday. They had plenty in stock as well as the new harbor sets. This is a fantastic set for the money and I enjoyed the build as well! Wonderful details and a minifig...too bad this wasn't in line for an exclusive design. I think they could pull a number of details out on it with a sale price of $150
  19. Greetings! Wonderful setup! I like all of the deails that you have on the station....right down to the trash cans. The tram looks great too, although I doubt Harry Potter is in need of a job.
  20. Greetings! I didn't have too much difficulty assembling the wonderful set. I would like to make a slight comment about the build that I thought was a bit odd. The big plates that were mentioned have a couple of 1 x 8 tiles (I believe) that attach on the bottom of each that seem a bit "loose." Granted, this is a very small issue, one that could have been corrected with a custom tile part for this set only. Other than that, I think TLG scored a 100!
  21. Greetings! Just got mine....and a day early even! I love the Maersk Blue!
  22. Greetings! I would like to give ME a pat on the back for outside thinking! I think they did a nice job, I still tend to think that the foil tape option is still a good alternative, but at leat there are now some choices. Long live 9V!
  23. Greetings! I just bought the lovely Maersk Train!
  24. Greetings! April Fools! ...... Right?????? Hmmmmmmm
  25. Greetings! It's here!!!!! Overjoyed! I just got one, it seems they were a bit early from the April 1st date.
