Which set should I buy?

[Ricecracker]

Hi, I currently have a Clone walker BP built, and one boxed, I want to open the other but I'm not sure if I should open it, or buy a new one to open, and sell my MISB in a few years.

Open it, you might have a chrome vader inside!

I would say that either the coast guard helicopter or the bulldozer would be a good choice.

The Combine Harvester, (I don't have it but) you'll have an extra $10!

for the powermine little set,i hv read several review and i thought the design of it is so weak, if i buy those i m sure i will break it down once i finish...(sorry but its true) also those pieces a quite hard to use for moc or mod as well.

I have to disagree with you there. I think the Granite Grinder is an excellent set. It's certainly not fragile, and the design in my opinion is almost the best in the Power Miners line. It has some good parts too.

For a City set, I would go for the Coast Guard Heli, or the Combine Harvester. Both are great looking sets with some nice play features.

Should I buy the 10194 Emerald Night or the 7897 Passenger Train? Mind you I have no tracks or any train sets except the awful Push-along Hogwarts Express.

Hey guys, I have a two $20 USD gift cards ($40), but I don't know what to get with it. Should I just wait for the second wave of Star Wars sets, or should I get some Pirate, City, Power Miners, and other theme sets? Keep in mind that my favorite theme is Star Wars.

Thanks in advance!

I waited for the new Star Wars sets if I were you.

Should I buy the 6769 Fort LEGOREDO or the 6090 Royal Knights Castle?

[KinGanon]

Fort Legorado without doubt, there have been many castles made by LEGO(and I doubt they'll stop anytime soon)

Picking up Legorado may hurt your wallet but it'll be worth it.

Hi, I'm wondering whether I should buy my second favorite (from photos) set ever, Brick Street Customs from Racers '08. Tiny Turbos is my fave line and I'm not sure: to buy or not to buy? Is it worth the money?

I think it depends on the price and what you are planning on using it for. I have it, and it was an amazing parts pack, but I don't think it's the best value for a display set. That's my opinion though.

From what I hear, the Passenger train was kind of sub par compared to most Lego trains. However, the Emerald Night does not include track unless you get that combo deal from Lego.

Ok, so I have a £15 off voucher for TRU, what should I get? Should I go for a set that is going to be free? A few sets that come close to £15? Or use it to get a big set for £15 less?

For that matter what should I get?

[mikey]

I think you should use it towards a big set, maybe the farm if you have room for it?

[YG-49]

When it comes out, (When was it?) 6421 Loot Island or save up for a summer set?

[exxtrooper]

Well, it's may birthday 6.may, and I have completely forgotten, and eh, I don't know what I want....

Any suggestions, please?

Hi exxtrooper,

I had merged your topic in here, since this request is similar. What themes do you like and your budget? There is so many great sets coming out such as City, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Power Miners, Pirates and etc.

Oh, sorry I didn't see this topic but at least, now I know

Well i'm most building futuristic military, but, yeah I pretty much like almost every theme.

Geez, it's hard for me to recommend on such complex theme, but if I were to list out some of my favourite sets released so far from the themes without taking budget in consideration. I had also linked EB Reviews for your easy reference from my below recommendation below,

1) City: 7637 Farm Set (Simply fun to play with, with loads of new stuff involved)

2) Pirates: 6242 Soldier Fort (Modular built with tons of great accessories, including the rare Admrial)

3) Castle: 10193 Medieval Market Villiage (The best Castle Civillan set ever. The pictures will speak for itself.)

4) Star Wars: 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack (This battlepack is excellent CW army builder sets)

5) Indiana Jones: 7682 Shanghai Chase (Nice vehicles with whole load of new minifigs)

6) Power Miners: 8958 Granite Grinder (An affordable Power Miners set that demostrate its playability)

7) Creator: 6743 Street Speeder (Good looking green sports car, but not suitable for minifig size)

These are excellent suggestions, thank you, that pirate set looks beautyful

I have to use them by early June, so I can't save them to buy Agents . I was juggling the possibility of Brickbears Bounty as a reduced in price set, or an armload of smaller Farm/City sets in the several for free catagory.

I am sort of having trouble deciding what to get for my birthday. I want either the Emerald Night w/ Power Functions and Track, the Green Grocer, or the Town Plan....

I would stick wiht the green grocer, it is a really fun set with great architechtural value. Both of the other sets are good, but I think the GG is better.
