Section8

The weakest of the Studio monster sets, but still pretty good. The werewolf head should have been one piece instead of fitting over a minifig head. It looks a little too big this way. The living tree is a nice addition to the set. Not bad for the (original) price.

A good small set from a theme that seems to be top-heavy in the larger sets (4 sets originally priced above $40 USD). The zodiac is essentially the reason to get this set, if you don't have one already.

An amazing set, the best in the Divers line. The boat is a bit lacking but that's understandable, as it is not the focus of the set. Other sets had better boats but the underwater lab is a unique feature and is very detailed. This set is very high on my want list. 5/5

Internet: Cloud City, opened but complete in box, for $50 including shipping. Considering I traded the Lando figure for about $30 in sets off of my friend, a very good deal. Store: some people on this site alerted me to 10001 Metroliners being found in stores called Tuesday Morning in the states. A skipped class later, I had a 10001 and speed regulator for $80 plus tax.

A good set, with a nice color scheme. I still prefer the last one that had a removable bin.

The one I bought wasn't MISB, it was used. I wanted it to build and use because that's what LEGO bricks are for. I just realized that all the smaller sets I've bought in the last five years or so probably added up to what a MISB 6399 would have cost, despite me thinking previously that a used 6399 is too expensive for me. So I bought one and cut back on other sets, and I won't regret it. The one I bought cost less than $330, including shipping and was the cheapest of the totally complete ones on BL at the time. It truly is a sight to behold when it is built!

A very robust set. The fact that it seats two figs plus has L&S makes it a unique set. I definitely liked the big airport subtheme TLG created in the early 1990s.

I thought it was out of my price range too. Then I realized that I had probably spent enough since coming out of my dark ages to buy a MISB 6399. So I bought it, and I am going to cut back on buying other sets for the next year or so to offset the one big purchase. Those glimpses of the 2009 sets haven't made me regret the cutback.

I got this set last month and I can definitely say that even if you think it is one of the best sets ever, you won't fully appreciate it until you build it yourself. The elevated city station is much more complex than it looks, and the whole set is extremely detailed. The good: - As stated in the review, there's a lot of track, roughly twice as much as the last monorail made, 6991. 5 long straights too! - the designers didn't need to put in the hamburger stand or the ticket readers, but they did and made it even better - Great figure selection; airport workers as well as civilians The bad (if you can call it that in such a great set): - Hard to incorporate into an existing town if using the default track layout. The center loop would be inaccessible to vehicles and the layout is very large. - The monorail needs nearly a full straight section on either side of the city station or it will impact the corner of the station and stall if a curve is too close. - As far as I know the only town set with road plates that doesn't have a wheeled vehicle. A car would have been nice, a bus would have been incredible. But these small things in no way diminish from the fact that this is one of the best sets ever.

Super Chief for me. It is considered "iconic" here in the States. Probably since no one but train buffs know about the crocodile and you can still see the BNSF engine across a wide portion of the country. Super Chief is a legend here (in train lexicon, not the set type) while the other two are not. 'Course, a Lego 20th Century Limited or Daylight would blow the Super Chief away...

I started with Lego bricks when it was black, white, red, yellow, and blue (green only in transparent bricks). Needless to say, since purple came out during my dark ages and doesn't factor much in to my primary themes (town, pirates, and castle) I won't be missing it. I'd .rather Lego discontinue a color that doesn't live up to their high standards of quality than compromise it. The only set I can even think of that used it to a high degree is the Knight Bus from Harry Potter. I won't miss it, though I can understand if you guys do. Losing one of the six basic colors (other than white/black) is pretty big.

You might want to see how they're getting in and seal that place off. The effectiveness of this approach usually depends on the type and age of dwelling. A drafty door or window is the most obvious place, but places you might overlook is a drain or a vent fan that doesn't get used very often.

A rehashed line instead of something completely new. If Lego wanted to make more modern stuff-meets-mutated monsters, they could have kept going with Aqua Raiders. The non-monster portions of those sets were actually plausible. Unless, of course, this is their continuation, continue the theme but give it a new setting every few years.

I got the original version as a surprise one Christmas. My parents liked the design so much they got it for me. This is one of the best town sets. If it didn't have the delivery van it would have been on par with 6683 Hamburger Stand, a great set in its own right. The van, and they way the back holds the pizzas, is ingenious and bumps this set up to the highest levels.

Outstanding, like most of these airline promos were from this time period. I don't know why they only released these well-designed sets as promos. I bought this set MISB from Bricklink last year for not too bad of a price. It's a nice little set, like an expanded version of 6673.

A great set from the days when Lego recognized that towns consist of more than just emergency services and construction equipment (though they seem to be getting better lately). I'm pretty sure this is LEGO's only attempt at a hotel as an official set, which is odd. I used to love staying in hotels as a kid and had more personal experience with those than a bank or post office, of which LEGO made multiple sets. I like how the crane can be dismantled and the parts used to finish the hotel. Not fond of the vehicles but I understand that was the style back then. It's still an amazing set (5/5) and I wish I had gotten the Legend rerelease.

Someone did buy those at the buy it now price.

That's funny, I only want the house and van, and don't really like the windmill due to it's scale. Wanna split it? You can have the box too if you want :-)

Here's the converted prices for all of our non-EU friends: 70 EUR = ~110 USD, 55 GBP 100 EUR = ~160 USD, 80 GBP 150 EUR = ~240 USD, 120 GBP 200 EUR = ~320 USD, 160 GBP 250 EUR= ~400 USD, 200 GBP and Canadian dollars are roughly equal to USD. All prices approximate due to fluctuating rates and rounding. I know that sets usually aren't priced the same across currencies, but this lets everyone vote.

4/5. I've had this set since I was young. Never understood why a tow truck needed to be an off-roader; maybe it was used to tow the other off-road vehicles. The suspension made the truck too tall to tow some cars, so I often took the hook out and use the truck as just an great off-road truck like 6672 (which also had the suspension wheels). Other tow truck sets better filled their roles better, but that doesn't diminish this set at all. No, for 25-odd years this vehicle was perfectly proportioned with all others in the town/city line. It's all these new 6 and 8 and 20 wide vehicles that are ignoring convention and making it look out of proportion. Granted speed racer sets are more of their own line, but 6660 is smaller than most of the cars produced in the last few years.

Most of the time I'm just happy if I have enough bricks to finish the wall, period. The only place I take the sizes into account is at the corners; I try to interlock them rather than leave the two walls unconnected. I am a fan of the 1xXx5 bricks; easy to quickly and neatly build town structures. Lego's decision to make the 1x6x5 hollow in recent sets is a shame, as it is not as neat looking as a solid one.

I had that pack; sadly about half of them are broken. They were very fragile parts, especially at the base. As for the set reviewed, it's pretty good. I don't much care for the tractor but I know it would have been pretty good during its time period. The minifigs and accessories make the set. It would have been at most a 3/5 if it was just the tractor and one figure (as later sets tended to be), but the extras are worth 4/5.

I'm surprised the stickers are still on those pieces; the textured slopes are about the worst pieces when it comes to sticker adhesion and preservation.

Glad to see my hometown gets the first sets in this line. First real skyscraper was in Chicago so it's only fitting. Probably won't build them as they are as people said just a bunch of black bricks. The real appeal to me is the boxes. That would make them the first sets I owned but didn't open.

I sticker everything that makes the set look better. Up until recently, this has been every set I own (I have a lot of town sets so a lot of stickers!). I have yet to sticker the newest city cement truck, as I could find uses for those large blue parts. Most of my stickers are in decent shape, although they rarely saw direct sunlight and I was careful to separate the stickered pieces when mixing and storing sets. The sticker that I have that is in the worst shape is on on the side of the 4011 Cabin Cruiser which I used to put in water. Oddly, my 4010 Police Boat still has its stickers in good shape. I think application of stickers over multiple parts or curved parts is not conductive to sticker preservation.
