Brick Town Talk

Set Number: 7937 Name: Train Station Theme: City / Trains Year of Release: 2010 Pieces: ??? Minifigs: 4 Price: 31,27 Euro Front of the box Back of the box - lovely images especially the one in the bottom right corner The contents There are 4 numbered bags, the four straight rail tracks and sticker sheet. There are 2 instruction booklets. Bag 1 - The Taxi The taxi has enough room for two minifigures Bag 2 - The Ticket Office This features a computer, drinks stand, sliding doors and a poster for the new Yellow Truck Bag 3 - Left platform Bag 4 - Right platform leading to complete assembly There are some spare pieces (the usuals: cheese, flowers etc) but unfortunately my cat has scattered them about the floor The verdict I've been really looking forward to getting this set since seeing the blurry photos. I took Huw's advise at Brickset to order it through Amazon.fr and they arrived today. I also bought 7936 Level Crossing which I will review tomorrow if I get time. I like this set and think it will fit reaaly well into a city layout. Like most people I intend to extend the bridge over two tracks. I will probably be making some more taxis too. Go buy it...

Because I love LEGO I entered a competition in The Daily Mirror - and I won four tickets to the World Premiere of The Prince of Persia and four Prince of Persia LEGO sets. Check out the story here. Richard.

I use either powerpoint or publisher so that all the elements stay separate, I can also add shadows, crop, rotate etc. I screen grab the image and then open it in Photoshop. I'm open to ideas though. I'm only just getting used to Photoshop - I discovered how to add rain to pictures today.

I used a picture of the Freight Plane that had a lot of the City background on it, then made the rest in PowerPoint and Photoshop.

I based it on this image.

I built the van a while ago but added the stickers and made the box art yesterday.

I will be reviewing The Grand Emporium 10211 this afternoon. You can see it happen at www.bricktowntalk.blogspot.com - I will add the review to Eurobricks when I have finished. Richard

INDEXED Pig Farm and Tractor Set # 7684 Theme: City Year Released 2010 Piece Count Minifigs: 2 List Price: £24.99 Front of the box Back of the box Side of the box advertising the new City movie ‘Clutch Power’. The contents of the box – no stickers. Random page from the instructions The minifigures – I think the blue overalls are new? The set itself Spare Pieces New pieces (I'm pretty sure the tyres are new). I've been waiting to own this since the first grainy pictures last year. I love this set. The Tractor has a fantasic design and of course the pigs to add to the cows of last year are a must have (luckily you get four). Soon we will have camels and ostriches to add to the animal kingdom. Overall 9/10 Cheers - Richard

Available in Argos UK for £14.99.

Fantastic review. BTW the net isn't new (except for the colour). http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48294

My Flexible Track arrived this morning. The track can also flex up and down as well as side to side which would be ideal for a roller coaster.

Hi, I was in Milton Keynes yesterday and took some pictures of the box of the new large chess set. Thought you might like to see it. Sorry if already found by someone else. Richard http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=333865

Found this is Woolworths Luton UK today. Luton Toys R Us had the police lorry, police station, two Indiane Jones Sets and The new Star Wars force Unleashed black ship. http://bricktowntalk.blogspot.com/2007/12/new.html

These look like they are from the same mould... http://bp0.blogger.com/_1OoLlXKzxa8/RryHQE.../ego+friend.JPG Please feel free to see the rest of the story here... http://bigbricks.blogspot.com/2007/08/egos-friend.html We would love to hear from anyone who is interested in scaled up LEGO models at www.bigbricks.blogspot.com
