Personally have no problem with the redesign and/or changes. Its a Pirates Bay and Lego are entitled to do what they want with it, based on their view of the hobby. manufacturing considerations etc etc. For me,..I think it looks splendid. As good as the incredible ideas set that inspired it. My only complaint (and its my subjective view) is that I would have liked a bit more structure to the buildings with more rooms etc. That would have sacrificed the ship, which is very clever, but for my tastes unnecessary and I would prefer a grander more expansive pirate ship as a separate set. On the fence with this one. As is my usual view,....bigger would have been better.

I have to agree,...its a bit of a let down. Less than 1000 pieces too. Ill pass,....something like this should have a bit grandeur and this set has very little of that I'm afraid.

Finally built my set. Heavy impressive beast. I agree with some of the statements from years ago in this thread,.....to many studs on the exterior. But what really surprised and disappointed me was the requirement to remove the middle roof to enable the crane to lift items in and out of the Sandcrawler. Surely a sliding roof or hatch would have been more appropriate and sensible? I know I am very late to the party on this set,...but the issue really bugged me. I don't suppose someone come up with a solution to make the set more realistic and fun play with??

Like most lads,...I wish there was a third floor to the townhouse and perhaps be another retail outlet (or as suggested a bigger bookshop with a café). But the style suits my little street and it does look "High Streetish" so I am on board. I like the idea of splitting it,...….so I'll probably match the townhouse to the Pet Shop townhouse. Its very pretty. But its not spectacular like some of the previous modular. The description of being "safe" that some members have utilised sounds pretty apt to me.

OK, thanks mate. Not sure what to think of that? It would have been nice to have another shop next to it. My modular collection is restricted to three. Pet Shop, Parisian Restaurant and Assembly Square,...kinda building an old fashioned village High Street, I guess. I do like this set,...…...I would have preferred another retail outlet. At anyrate,...Ill be collecting it as the style suits my 'High Street' vision.

Very cool,...and clever in the imaginings of evolutionary design for the Classic Space theme. As good as it,..and its great, Id love to see something like that applied to the Galaxy Explorer.

Finally scored Sandcrawler 75059 cannot wait to build it and display it. Just one question though, is there only one sticker paper in the set. The plastic bag for the stickers was torn open. The sticker page is intact but their is only one of them.
-
That's fab news. Hopefully they will be modular in design to add to the upcoming "Pirate bay". I love modular designs stuff with modular creator building sets and Ninjago City my favourite Lego themes that I own (and Star Wars UCS).

I bought 57059 Sand Crawler today. Thanks very much for the advice. This set is supposed to be a cracker and I would of held off if I thought there was a remote chance of a UCS Sandcrawler. Cannot wait to build and display it.

Nothing from Ninjago City??
