Review: "Midnight Build"

[KimT]

Set#: EB001

Set Name: Midnight Build

Parts: Quite a few, most were rare at the time.

Price: Priceless

Amount: Limited Edition - only at the event for the eventees. Plus one lucky modelbuilder

Designer: CopMike

So, as I am shuffling through my closet, sorting and cleaning, I stumbled upon my collection of Eurobricks Event Kits.

And the first one to start it all off is this one:

The Midnight Build handed out as part of the Event Specials during the Event in 2007.

This particular set was designed by CopMike and it made quite the ruckus when he handed them to us.

Set and box next to each other.

I don't recall if we got any instructions for this vignette or not.

But at least the box has a nice picture that would at least inspire the build

Without much further comments, I'll share pics of the build vignette:

Now you might wonder why this set is named "Midnight Build", but it's fairly simple.

At least as I remember it.

It's all about our hobby. When we get a new set that we've been anticipating for a loooong time.

Then we lose track of time and we build all the way through the evening into the midnight.

In this particular vignette depicts the building of the Sandcrawler. - Yes I know it's a very small sandcrawler on the desk.

But sadly my set was missing a few parts.

As you can see the AFOL is using the ol'-tools-of-the-trade - Coca Cola and chocolate to keep the mind sharp.

So sharp that he's forgotten to water his flower

Yup' it's for real.

Aren't you just sad you didn't go and didn't get this?

Another event set review. The case isn't quite as glamorous as the Brickworld set though . I'm not quite sure what the brown cheese slope on the desk is meant to be but the whole scene looks great with all the details.

Didn't you read the review?

It's a Sandcrawler, I just didn't get all the parts.

And calling LEGO Direct for replacement parts haven't given me anything

Brickworld? BRICKWORLD? BRIIIIICKWOOOORLD!!

They're not from BrickWorld.

They're from the Eurobricks Event held every year.

I swear it said nothing about a sand crawler before. Maybe I'm just going crazy .

Fruedien slip, I was just in another thread that was Brickworld related.

Reading pwns me.

Reading pwns me.

Me also. I have done the same mistake.

Nice set! Lamp, desk and plant are nice designed. I must buy this Coca-Cola. I have only one question: why this minifig has grey hands? :D

Isn't it obvious why?

He doesn't want his dirty finger to smudge the set he's building.

[Dr Kilroy]

Oh, thanks for answer! I never do that. Yes, and it's obvious why he has dirty fingers - do you know someone, who ate chocolade and didn't get dirty his fingers?
