Re: Lego set You Want

This is quite an amazing set IMO..

The detail put into this set is just insane.. mini/dizzy One of my favorite parts is the use of the original smiley-face. Being a long-time LEGO fan, I just adore those faces. You don't see those very much anymore. (In recently released sets, anyway.)

To see inside the building here is a review on the set.

Re: Lego set You Want

Yeah, that set is beautiful. I love the colors. I may end up buying it if I manage to save my money for it. It ould be my first modular set.

Nearly all the modular building sets use the traditional smiley face. They are gorgeous.

Re: Lego set You Want

Plainbrick, do you know the main color for the building?  I don't think I've seen it before.

Re: Lego set You Want

I believe that's whatever their new "CHIMA green" is, something really close to Olive Green like jampot said.

Re: Lego set You Want

That set isn't really all that unique. It has average architecture and I think the only part I would have trouble building would be those two clams on the roof (since I don't own the white clams)

Everything else could be made with all of your own LEGO.

A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

Re: Lego set You Want

Yup, I'm pretty sure jampot is right.

Re: Lego set You Want

Okay.  Looks a bit green/gold to me fromt he photos I've seen.  Carroll films, you can wind up buying white clams on bricklink and pay a lot less than a whole set for it.

Re: Lego set You Want

oh wow I haven't seen that Paris set! that's super cooL! probably the best-designed set I have seen in years!

Re: Lego set You Want

Yep, it's olive green according to the official review.


I don't really buy sets for the architecture and the techniques used, I buy them for the pieces and minifigures. I don't think buying those 2000+ pieces individually on bricklink or ebay would be cheaper than picking up a copy of a set like this.

Re: Lego set You Want

OMG I want all the Mixels so much!!!!

I'm going to have such an empty wallet by the end of the year.

Re: Lego set You Want

Is it just me or do the Ninjago sets seem...lacking?

Anyway are these two worth it?

Re: Lego set You Want

The golden dragon looks awesome and is a reasonable price, but the mechdragon is odd. It's a mishmash of pieces and in my opinion not worth the price.

Indeed, I'd most likely just take the pieces and use them for something else.

Re: Lego set You Want

I don't really see a lot of useful bricks in there, at least not for brickfilming, and I'm not a fan of Ninjago, so I'll definitely stay away from those; especially since there are so many good sets coming this year.

I am gonna stay away from the mechdragon (unless I can find it really cheap) but I'll most likely get the golden dragon.


Are the amount of pieces in the Mixels sets worth the price?

Re: Lego set You Want

Yes, if you want the joints. I'll be getting loads of Mixels because I'm starting to make lots of brickbuilt monsters for my upcoming brickfilms.

Re: Lego set You Want

Wow, classic LEGO never looked so good! Those look really cool, Wout!

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

Re: Lego set You Want

Yeah, i really like the older lego since i think it's simpler and better than the new lego. And the figures are usually cool and not only usable for one or two themes (Chima anyone?). I mostly like the stuff from end 90's - begin 00's.
