Lego City Harbor -551pcs.

Product Information

To be honest, I'd have preferred those I think-- that way the end product would have been more sturdy, and there'd be no awkward unevenness between the bottom of the main dock and the supports for the small pier that the fisherman fishes from.

The floor of the harbour, and the road the baseplates form, is a mere baseplate-thickness above the waves, with a meagre brick-wall separating road from water. Haha I felt the same way too prior to reading this, good thing despite the excellent review I'm still not sold on this set. But people were able to build Lego sets for decades using instruction manuals with less luxuries than modern day ones.The thing that made this set really stand out when the first pictures of the mid-2011 City line-up first surfaced was the color scheme of the 'building' and crane.

I think Rufus was complaining more about the thin baseplates as opposed to the inclusion of baseplates. However, something that's often ignored is that not everyone has the sort of thinking patterns that make LEGO building so easy. The conveyor is held in place only by the two dark tan axles with stud towards the rear; these allow the whole conveyor to tilt backwards to about 90 degrees: an accident of design rather than functional feature I fear; I could see no use for this.This makes it all the more satisfying to be owner, builder, planner and construction company in one person if your building project is made of Lego. A steering wheel for the helm and a radar display are Gerald's only controls; at least he has somewhere to put his walkie-talkie. The crane jib consists of a dark bley Technic liftarm inside the long yellow crane arm; the former then meets a derrick piece at an angle. As an owner of 7994 this set isn't highly compelling, but I still haven't got a hull of that design so we'll see! Yes, it was a Technic build and thus arguably more advanced than a City set, but these were kids well within the Technic age range.

His favorites are Star Wars/Clone Wars, but the police/city/boat and Alien Conquest sets are close behind.

But this requires the jib to move into upright position, and doesn't allow that much room for big adult fingers to place Clive inside. At face value, it seems to offer a lot: a sizeable ship, harbourside structures with working crane and conveyor, an attractive and useful tipper truck.

However, it is of course possible to build two halves and then join them together to represent the entire length of the bridge. And yet you know that AFOLs would be whining to no end if regular plates like the new 8x16 or 16x16 ones were used instead.Here are all three subsections together: the ship delivers her round, tan cargo, ready for the crane to lift it onto the conveyor, ready to deposit on to the tipper truck. floats your boat It's a singularly useless feature, unless you get bored in the bath, but woe betide anyone who tries to re-enact Titanic adventures with the stickers applied. It surprised me how many kids at the party had difficulty following the simple pictorial instructions-- many would put pieces in the wrong places or at the wrong angle.
