I grew up with Legos and TMNT. These made my childhood. And the most unexpected thing in my life is, the combination of these. I'll say, "Do Want" on this collection. Eventhough the new series does not appeal to me that much, but the Lego turtles (and the rat-sensei) amazed me a lot.

Ja, that's directly from the keyboard, but how about if I have to physically write them on a paper? Uh, I mean, write by hand? The letter "ø" is simple, just draw an "o" and a slash on it. The letter "å" too, write "a" and draw a circle on top of it. But, I'm a bit perplexed about "Æ", should I just write "A" and "E" as close as possible?

I like Scandinavian countries too. One day I love to visit there. By the way, how do the Danes or Norwegians write "ae" vowels? I have a bunch of Learn Danish materials but I ended up writing like "ae" instead of the combined version of that vowel.

It's 350kms from where I stay, and I will go there! :)

Thanks for the suggestion. Luckily I do not have those "closed back" modular buildings as I do not have much cash to buy all of these. I will add some newer Lego sets like the "recycling center" and the "dirt bike transporter" in the city. :)

I like the little Dutch town there. Looks real and feels real. By the way I have seen a Stadthuys in Malacca. I think it is pronounced "Stahdt-house" if I'm not mistaken. It's a red building and I didn't remember much because I went there when I was a kid.

Due to the lack of extra bricks, I can't modify much of the Legos provided. However, without the modification, the 80s set looks... vintage. There's that kind of feel that I won't get on the new 2011/12 sets I have. Example like the Police Bikes in the 90s - it definitely look like a modified Vespa. The new ones look nice too - a much realistic feel on it. Needless to say I'm itching to add mini "LCD screens" on the old police station instead of the casual "telephone" and stuff. I will get some bricks on that too.

Hello there, As I've gotten an entire Lego City from my relative, I'm planning to mix it with some of my newer Lego sets. However, I felt that there's a proportion problem in some of the vehicles. The newer vehicles are much bigger than the ones in the 80s. The example would be the Police Helicopter in 2010 - I can't put it in the 1987's Police Station helipad because the thing is so much bigger than the helipad itself. If you have city sets in the 80s, what would you do with the modern sets? "Seperate" them or just place them together? In my case, I place all of them together. :)

Hello Lego Experts, I just recently acquired a set of a Lego city which is bought circa 1986-1992, and one in 1996 from my relative. There are a total of around 8 buildings and many other assortments of vehicles and minifigures and all of them are intact. The only thing is the road plates which have some "melted" skid-marks due to these vehicles on the roads which have stationary for almost 15-20 years. I think it is a permenant damage already, but could I use a bit of a sandpaper to flatten these melt-marks? Plus, there are yellowing on the white Lego sets like the fishing boat, which I can't seem to get rid of even with wiping with damp cloth. I planned to use chemicals on it but I just skipped that idea. Any great opinions on refurbishing old Lego sets?

Hey there, I like the 2011 edition of Lego police, the ones with the black or blue uniform sets instead of the new "Forest Rangers". Recently I've seen a small pack of the Lego 4636 "Police Building Set". Do you think it is worth a buy? The vehicles are a bit... simple but I will have some spare bricks for another Lego building. :) Thanks for opinions.

Hey there, I've seen one of those packs with limited bricks sold in a nearby toy store. You think it's a good complement to the Lego Police sets I've have it here? Mine's the 2011 sets, and they are of a black/blue uniform instead of the newer "forest rangers".

The "Dirt Bike Transporter" is reminiscent of a certain Lego Town product (Lego 6644) back in the 90s, but the new ones have been remade to include realistic-looking dirt bikes, a bigger car and two figures. The "Camper Van" looks identical to the Lego 2010/2011 set, but it is much smaller. :D

I like the 2011 City Advent Calendar - it has the police patrol car (sorry, I do not want to wait until December to see all that!!) which is reminiscent to the 1992's Lego System's police car. Don't remember the code number, but that good ol' little car was used to be given away free when a can of Dumex milk powder is purchased. The props are fantastic. I must get it! Too bad it isn't in SE Asia yet.

What amazes me in Lego stuff are the equipments, I should admit. First one is the megaphone, and the frying pan. I even like the mugs and the wine cups in some Lego city buildngs/models. Do you have any fascinations with the miniature equipments? Without them, Lego isn't complete! :)

I have books dealing with processing infrared signals in microcontrollers. Technically, I can use either Arduino, or other microcontrollers. I may try to include SMD LEDs inside the Legos if possible, but I must be very careful and patient since these are very small stuff. :)
