TheOldGamer Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) This seems to be my first review. I`ve bough this at very cheap price offer, before 3months, and finally decided to make a small review here at EuroBricks. Here is some information about it: Name: Community Vehicles Number: 9365 Theme: Town/Dacta Year: 1993 Parts: 678 Minfigs: 13 Price: €60 from Bo Hobby Shop The Green Dacta Bin When I first saw it, I became speechless, because it contains too much Classic Town in one set! Contents These are the instructions carboards, and in the back of them... ...they have roadplates patterns. The Inventory (without the bin) Building the set As you can see it`s a very nice and rich inventory, with all the popular Town sets from these years, it`s released. These are all the 13 minifigures. This set is actually 6533-1: Police 4 x 4 and old police motorbike with red wheels. 6660-1: Hook & Haul Wrecker 6643-1: Fire Chief's Truck Now this is more interesting. It`s the ambulance from 6380-1: Emergency Treatment Center with a red bike. 6532-1: Diesel Dumper 6524-1: Blizzard Blazer 6662-1: Backhoe 6594-1: Gas Transit 6668-1: Recycle Truck 6527-1: Tipper Truck Leftover Parts The Full Set Final Words Parts: 9/10 Contains great inventory and a lot of rare Classic Town parts in it. Minifigs: 10/10 Such a nice pack with great Town minifigures. Price: 8/10 For €60 it`s very fair price, because at bricklink it ranges from $300 to $350 Build: 10/10 Not too hard, but a smile appeared on my face when I was building my dream sets. After all, it`s one of the best community vehicles packs ever. It`s highly recommended to buy! Hope you will like this small mini review and comments and criticism welcome! I will only say 'sorry' about the quality of the pictures, but I was too excited, when building it with a nostalgia. Nick Edited July 13, 2010 by TheOldGamer Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Excellent review 'TheOldGamer' - what a way to score a stack of classic town vehioles eh ? Nothing like the old school so to speak since they are for the classroom ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Svelte Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks for this great review! What an amazing find. So many fantastic parts and designs. I really like some of the Dacta sets and many of the classic Basic sets which were always a vast source of inspiration. I know there are similar sets today but they just don't seem to have the breadth and depth of these golden oldies Quote
Notorious Guf Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 You found that still sealed? What a find, I'm so jealous!!! Quote
jamtf Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Great review. I am happy to own this set also MISB and MIB (used with original green storage bin and everything present + in excellent condition). Quote
quietworkshop Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 The windows on the ambulance really do it for me! Oh boy. I used to have one of those some long time ago. Really amazing that you found this set NEW. The classic town stuff really rocks my boat and you found and nicely documented a treasure trove. Way cool I'd definitely have a smile on my face as-well, putting these together. Quote
CP5670 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 That is an amazing find for such a price. I'm surprised any store was still selling it. My favorite vehicle is the backhoe. I don't think TLG has ever made a modern version of it. Some Dacta sets like this one were compilation of several normal sets from their time period. Others were entirely new designs. Quote
ZO6 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Wow, this set brings back memories! I remember having this in my classroom in public school. At least I believe it was the whole Dacta kit... it may just have been 6594 Gas Transit, though I seem to recall the whole tub full of parts for the other models. Anyways... The set contains lots of nice models that seem like they would be perfect for populating a town. As you said, it's a great vehicle pack. It's nice to see that TLC is continuing to make sets like these - 2010 seems to be a very strong year for the Dacta line. Thanks for the review. Quote
sens1992 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Wow, I missed out on that set. What a great one. I bet this would sell again today in a heartbeat! Quote
Dylfire Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 How many sets from years past are in the entire Box? Quote
