    I like watching this town layout change and expand each time 'SwissBrick'......though I hope you will change some of those base plates to one colour. (i.e. around the town hall) Keep going and Brick On 'SwissBrick' !

    Interesting creation......totally steam-punk and I would say reminds me of something from the film Wild Wild West. Brick On Steam-punk On 'pif500' !

    Gee, someone gets around like the tiger does ! By the looks of it at the moment, there will not be any other new city or Star Wars sets until after the sales are done and dusted......judging by the catalogues from Myer, Target & BigW.

    I picked up 60026 at BigW.....they have the Aussie exclusive rights for this set.

    I doubt we'll see a change in road plate design for quite a while to come, if memory serves me correct there has been only 3 different versions of road base plate.

    I shall keep going, gym equipment today......4 treadmills and a workout floor going in......er, it's to do with cashflow.....spent 124 bucks yesterday on 60026 to join this structure.....dam, I might have to build some other buildings......hmm, a department store sounds good ? I've been bitten by the classic town open back tall buildings bug ! Keep watching !

    Cool design , a little on the odd ball side of MOCing but I like it......reminds me of something from.... Brick On 'Sid Sidious' !

    Late last night I finished 60026, the most impressive part of the set is oddly enough the crane....the front end of truck is fantastic, oh I should add that the base plates for the riders on the crane store under the rotating crane body. And even more oddly, I like the little tractor.....so much potential to add things to it like a little trailer to carry tools, etc.,. Perhaps Lego realised that us AFOL's would buy this set and want to make things to go with this set.......for us to fill the gaps ? Surprisingly enough I was a little let down on the bike shop.....the rotating door only has one attachment point and when rotating the curved panels catch the black window frames. Besides that both shops are nice, but again like 7993 things missing that could have lifted this set to the level of Town Plan or some of the modulars.......price point and trying to hard was Lego's problem here. I still really enjoyed building it and glad I have it in my collection.....my tall building won't be lonely.

    Goodness, that's one beautiful car 'de-marco'......I can not fault it at all.......AWESOME work and Brick On Cruise On 'de-marco' !

    Has anyone noticed that the LR silver mine set is more than 20% off......30 bucks off same as the amount off the train......maybe Target will price match again this year ?
  13. lightningtiger
    Thanks 'Iaka', yeah if I did one more storey...it might be just a services floor.....i.e. air conditioning and mobile phone tower....oh, yeah perhaps a billboard......better keep watching everyone !

    What is any of this talk about gods matching up with super heroes etc., to do with actual sets or rumours there of ..........doesn't that talk belong else where ?

    Excellent designs there......I wonder if Chima will head down that road one day ? Brick On Battle On !
  16. lightningtiger
    Thanks for the advice 'Alasdair', but there is a reason no lift.....I designed this as if Lego would have at least to some part designed it themselves as a set.....note the lack of tiled floors on the inside. Hopefully tomorrow the fourth level will be completed......keep watching !

    Well the 2013 police torsos are for the elite forces.....i.e. tactical response or s.w.a.t. unit.....so regular police will still be the same though I prefer the newer police uniforms. Now on a slightly different topic......60026, I have built most of it tonight minus half a crane. Right then, I found one part over and three missing....no big problem a visit to Toy Corner and I'll fix that. Funny that I had a 1x4 blue brick left over from bag 8 for the crane base......went over the instructions again and still I couldn't find a home for it. Also the curved windows on the pizza bar make things a little tough but Lego could have included a few extra bricks for strength of the slope pieces that go on top for the roof.....clutch power issues due to this failing. Still I'm enjoying the build and glad I brought it today.......it will go perfectly with my multi-storey building.

    Still need more window parts and gym equipment too...... Keep watching !

    60026 is 124 bucks as per the catalgoue......who needs to wait for the sale......there is no special price or discount minus 5 dollars the S@H price but hey, I've enjoyed building the red bus but the pizza bar's curved windows are a little tricky to lock in. There was no sign of any other BigW exclusives at Elizabeth.
  20. lightningtiger
    Simply....... 124 bucks at BigW Elizabeth.....the tiger is very happy !
  21. lightningtiger
    Guess what I brought today at BigW Elizabeth.............. The tiger is now very happy.....still left another 11 on the shelf !

    I saw that too when I downloaded the instructions, it did seem odd though.....could this be an after thought re-release - it does say copy-write 2013 on the very bottom of the back page of the instruction book.....so it's a real head scratcher. According to one or two from customer service it's been and gone - but no one that's on EB has ever written about seeing it anywhere........yep, head scratcher for sure.
  23. lightningtiger
    If all goes well today I should have the forth storey completed except maybe the gym equipment but we'll see. Still wondering if this should go any higher or not ? Keep watching......still sounding like a CD with a scratch on it eh ?

    Nice work again 'macsergey'......the suspension mechanicals are fantastic.....Brick On Truck On !

    Nice review 'RL', I think the reason behind it being a city theme is because the car is more of a classic town/late 1970's design Lego police car. Brick On Review On 'RL'.
