Redhead1982 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 The Family house looks great, and I'm definitely getting one. Unfortunately, I'm not so fascinated with the Tree house. Is there any speculation on price for these two? Quote
paanjang16 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 The hillside house looks better than I had expected! Lots of windows and door pieces for use in MOCs! My only complain is the garage door however. I was expecting it to be those sliding type which is found in the police and fire stations. I am curious to see how the light brick works in this set.

Ridge Montante Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 The Treehouse reminds me of the old TIme Cruiser sets. With stuff all over the place. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing yet. Quote

Well, the good thing about Creator is that even if the model displayed at Toy Fair isn't satisfactory, each set has two more chances to really impress because of its two additional models. Quote
Midnight Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I cannot wait for the lego Aviation Adventures. From the looks of it two minifigures can fit in it and i will definitely buy at least one. Quote
David Thomsen Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) My only complain is the garage door however. I was expecting it to be those sliding type which is found in the police and fire stations. I think the brick-built garage door fits in with the Creator philosophy better than the sliding door would. There are very few specialised pieces, even the animals are brick-built when they could easily be single pieces. I think the tree house and the family house are going to look good together, they kind of make a family unit. But I think the tree house would have worked better in other colours, or using 'log' pieces... It looks a little too much like a mini Creator house on a tree. Maybe a fort would have been better...

jonwil Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 If its 250 in the UK that means its probably somewhere up there with the Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower etc in size (and is clearly badged "Creator Expert") Quote
Ceroknight Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 There was rumours about it last year and I really hope we get a Tower Bridge scale Opera House! Quote
Midnight Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 This sounds great, an iconic piece of Australia that is in a large scale to put on the desk for display . I will be looking forward to this and I am quite intrigued to how they are going to design the roof, as it is quite a hard shape to capture in a big lego set. Let's hope they get it right, because it will make or break the set. Quote
Rufus Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 From Brickset: Click for a (slightly) larger pic 31011 Aviation Adventures No part count or price info yet. Looks to be about the same scale as the Sonic Boom from 2 years ago, so I'd guess around the £50 mark. Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 User 'cavegod' posted this over in the Star Wars thread: Sydney Opera House? I hope it's better than the Architecture one. -Sci There was talk of this a year or so ago actually by the folks in charge of Opera House itself......it must be better than that smaller scale one....please Lego. Plus that new aircraft 3-in-1 set....the plane reminds me of WWII fighter planes....which one I'm trying to Zero in on. Quote
Commander_Rob Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hmmh, I don't know. Like most Lego planes, prop planes especially it looks just that bit wrong. Not to mention the eight-cylinder radial engine... But hey, just one image so far, maybe it'll turn out to look far better. Quote
Flying Ace Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 The primary model for Aviation Adventures actually bears a strong resemblance to Howard Hughes' famous 1935 H-1 Racer, which had a radial engine (but not a two-place "bubble" canopy). With a few mods it could probably be made into a passable replica of this plane. The H-1 Racer is generally regarded as the origin of the classic WWII fighter plane configuration. The original is in the Smithsonian. I saw it as a boy but I didn't really realize what I was looking at at the time. From all accounts, flying the H-1 was definitely an "adventure." An exact replica was sadly destroyed in 2003, and its pilot (Jim Wright) killed, when it crashed due to a propeller gear malfunction. Quote
WhiteFang Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I certainly look forward to Rufus picking up the 31011 Aviation Adventures, because I will like to hear your thoughts when you have actually own and built the past Creator aircraft sets. I am very tempted to get this set. Quote

steele Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) 618 pieces for the aviation set, according to this pic of the box: http://cdn.toyark.co..._1360506606.jpg Two pics of the actual set: http://cdn.toyark.co..._1360506606.jpg (also note the August release date and $59.99 MSRP) http://cdn.toyark.co..._1360506606.jpg Edited February 11, 2013 by steele Quote
Flying Ace Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Well, now that I see the fuselage is mostly white, it no longer looks so similar to the silver H-1. The box art looked more silver to me. Still, many WWII planes used radial engines (The F4U Corsair and Grumman Avenger, for example), so there is still potential to modify this into something like a real warbird. And it's a nice-looking plane as-is. Quote
Rufus Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 618 pieces for the aviation set, according to this pic of the box: Thanks for the info and the links! Nice to see you can feather the propeller. Quote
Le(g)o Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Hmmh, I don't know. Like most Lego planes, prop planes especially it looks just that bit wrong. Not to mention the eight-cylinder radial engine... But hey, just one image so far, maybe it'll turn out to look far better. Were you referring to the fact that even-numbered radial engines are extremely rare? Quote
Commander_Rob Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Indeed I was. Even-numbered radials only work as diesels or two-stroke petrols. Excluding multi-row engines of course... Staying with that set, there's a couple more pictures on the FBTB Flickr stream. The tail seems a bit... off, somehow. Quote
Le(g)o Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Yes, the tail. The weird curved slope. And the sheer size. And no rudder. It's wrong in many ways. Quote
Ondra Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I am curious about rumoured 10235.What it can be?I think it will be christmas set, but who knows. Quote
The_Creator Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I'm not sure if this is the correct thread but, would LEGO Exclusives like 40052 Springtime Scene and 40054 Summer Scene be available at LEGO Stores? Quote
