  1. I am a big pirates fan and have nearly all of the sets going back to the beginning except for the big ships. I was very happy to see a return to blue uniforms and I think the use of color is outstanding in the 2015 sets. Also as stand alones, the new medium sets are beautiful pieces. Their modular nature is well implemented and I can see I will eventually get multiples of all of the soldier sets to combine in MOCs. Very happy to see the skull island theme return. I just don't have room for the big ships, otherwise I really like both the 6243 and new 70413 pirate ships. I don't get why the new chess set soldiers don't have proper head gear. That will keep me from acquiring it unless I can find a cheap source on Bricklink to get multiples to replace the hair pieces.
  2. This seems like half of a set compared to the previous Bike Shop/Cafe. As I like many of the elements, I will probably buy a second one and build a mirror image version (making one entirely a toy shop and the other a book store/news stand) and adjust the sidewalks to work with the previous model. Then I think they will work well together. I remember a little area in Copenhagen that had this sort of architecture. I would hope the subsequent models are better deigned to create more complex alternatives, but these are both good starting points for original or enhanced models.
  3. I just built one and the engineering for deploying the wing blades is very clever. This a very well designed model as it is so solid and therefore has high playability. For my purposes, this the kind of set that I'll buy two and MOC out a more complex version. Thanks for the review.
  4. I've been trying to build a car like this, but this is way better than my design. Another must buy.
  5. Given the great vehicle builds in the other sets, this one is kind of dull. Probably a good parts buy for castle MOCs. Thanks for the great reviews.
  6. This may be my favorite of the series, along with the plumber and ice cream vender. I feel like I'm going to be buying a double City series this year with these sets. They add a lot of character and detail, plus great mini-figs.
  7. Great review, great set. Must add it to my City collection. Love the mini-figs.
  8. May have to get a pair to build a plumbing shop and get a his & hers portra-potty pair bonus. I think the device is a Roto-Rooter use to clear pipes.

    Truly beautiful. The lobby is magnificent.
  10. Great review as always, but a disappointing release. There are 5 figures I will probably acquire. The construction workers are good, but basically just City figures, nothing special. I am really tired of the mermaids, who has any use for these? Some of the accessories are good- the police helmet, the pants guy's shirt, the Octan brochure; but overall only the Taco Tuesday Guy, Barista, Lincoln and Shakespeare are must haves.
  11. Some nice detail accessories, but this is probably the first one I won't buy as complete set. Nothing of interest for me, no historical warriors, no space theme. And I really don't want any more fishtails.
  12. 9) Mr Good and Evil Entry (Build by joeshmoe554) 1 point 26) Hollywood Starlet Entry (Build by vecchiasignoraceppo) 1 point 39) Battle Mech Entry (Build by Darkblane) 1 point This was a tough one. There are 3 more I could easily have chosen.
  13. 1) Cowgirl Entry (Build by Yatkuu) 1 point 9) Downhill Skier Entry (Build by Majoza77) 1 point 14) Conquistador Entry (Build by vecchiasignoraceppo) 1point
  14. 4) Bunny Suit Guy Entry (Build by toutouille) 1 point 22) Computer Programmer Entry (Build by Big Sal) 1 point 21) Computer Programmer Entry (Build by Darkblane) 1 point
  15. This is a really outstanding model. Your attention to detail and use of color is excellent.
