Maximono Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Hi, as a new member I'd like to first say hello to everyone. But on to the good stuff I've just received my coast guard sets from S@H. I only ordered the quad bike and truck with speedboat for now but I'll probably get more at a later date. Once I've built them I'll be sure to post more pictures into this thread of the models. Please click on the smaller image for a high res version Quote
Maximono Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Hehe I'll build the quad bike now should take 2 minutes, but I've got work soon so I'll probably build the truck and boat later to relax. Quote
Maximono Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 Quad bike is a nice little build, it's quite smart once built with some detailed wheel guards. The colours of these sets are something that really stands out and makes you want to own them I think! Nice detail on the minifigs too! Once again click for higher res ( linked to my flickr this time) Quote
metalandi Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Great man, finall we got pix from someone who ownes them already. S@H did ship mine already on wednesda, but the post didn't bring them toda, meh. Gotta wait till monda... Quote
Joey Lock Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Can someone please try Review the Heli? It looks Awesome! Quote
DJ Force Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Well, the quad looks quite similar to the one we got in Dino Attack (or Dino 2010) But the colors really are cool! Truck, trailer and boat seem to be a very fine build. Go have some more fun and share the pics! Quote

Truck, trailer and boat seem to be a very fine build. Go have some more fun and share the pics! Also the same design as the 7743 Police Command Center Congrats on getting the sets, they look real nice! Quote
Maximono Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) I now have pictures of the Truck and speedboat up. For the price of the set I'd say its really great value. You get some nice minfig accessories with the set and the figs themselves are smart with red shades/googles on one and sun glasses on the other. There's also a nice coast guard helmet plus scuba gear too. There's some nice new parts in the set including the mud flaps on the trailer, new wheels on the truck and the base of the speedboat is a nice solid piece. All together I'd say £17.99 is a great price for this set and if I was a kid who got to play this as a toy I'm sure I'd find hours of play time in it. As with the others click for large images on my flickr Edited May 17, 2008 by Maximono Quote
xenologer Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Nice pics Especially interested in that space wing piece in dkstone (see the front of the boat trailer) haven't had one of those in quite a while Those new balloon tyres look nice and spacey too how do they compare in size to the existing ones in techinc sets?

Siegfried Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for the pictures of 7726 Maximono. I agree it's reasonably priced so I might just get that one. I wish the boat was grey and not orange though... Quote

I wish the boat was grey and not orange though... Yea I was thinking that the boat was the wrong colour but least it's nice and bright. In reply to xenologer , Im not too sure about technic wheels sorry. Quote
metalandi Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 I've got a feeling i get my sets tomorrow, so ya better watch this space, cause i'm gonna come up with big review including tons of pics Quote
metalandi Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Sorry 'bout the double post, but here's something i MUST tell you. i got my new sets yesterday but unfortunately i wasn't at home so i picked them up at the post office today. i opened the box of 7739, the bags slipped out and....there were TWO bags with the number 3 on it. I first thought oka, maybe it's seperated in 2 bags or something. But when i came to the third building step i recognized i don't need the parts, cause they all were already in the bigger 3-bag...they were EXTRA! Yes you're right, there actually was an EXTRA BAG of pieces in the box. Have you ever seen something like that?! That made my day since there are quite a few of very useful pieces in it! Here's 2 pictures: Quote

Here's 2 pictures: It was the same with my 7739. Those extra pieces sure are handy , a couple of minifig heads and the new hairpiece along with the other bits. I wonder how many batches with this extra bag made it off the factory line? Quote

I noticed the kayak is now on S@H for £2.49, it's got very few parts but the minifig has a nice head to it. Quote

I noticed S@H has added a few extra sets since last week , it's annoying but then I guess my Bank manager won't be upset Quote
