SheepEater Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) Great looking set! But why not put it in the "City" theme? The difference between City and Creator is getting blurrier and blurrier Edited May 3, 2014 by SheepEater Quote
Covi Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 I'm still in doubt what to think about this set. I will wait until I can see it on display in a shop before I might buy it. Quote
muscleman Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 The Creator and Creator Expert lines are not locked in at a specific scale like "system" sets. Although there are normally some system scaled creator sets each release cycle such as the Modulars. The Mixer is minifig or system scale. However the truck is a bit wide to blend smoothly with vehicles from the City line, which are normally limited to 4,6 or 8 studs wide. The trucks width falls more in line with vehicles seen in other system themes such as Action where 10 or even 12 stud wide trucks are not uncommon. Thanks for the reply, and we are sure this year we don't have a new modular one? If I remeber right in the 2013 we we had the "Horizon Express", which is a model creator expert and a modular "classic" ...so, maybe...? Quote
rollermonkey Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 ^I'm sure it's a drop-ship scam. The 'auction' doesn't end for a month, and the set should be on shelves next week. Quote
Super Goblin Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 No it ships right away. It's month cause it's. Buy it now auction. Quote
rollermonkey Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Go ahead and buy it then, and let me know if/when it arrives in a Wal-Mart or Lego S@H box. The estimated delivery gives it away. May 14-20. Edited May 9, 2014 by rollermonkey Quote
Super Goblin Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 They clearly have a picture of the box inhand. Quote
melbs Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 ^ since when did this thread become a legit check thread? Quote
dvsntt Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I heard this may go on sale early for Lego VIP's? Quote
rollermonkey Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 There's an as yet unannounced VIP early release on the 15th, I don't believe that it has been confirmed that this is the set, but the other rumored possibilities (most often ECTO-1 or the Mini Cooper) haven't shown up on S@H yet, whereas the Mixer has, so we suspect it must be this one... But we can always be surprised with TLG. Quote
tafkatb Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Yes, it's definitely this one. So if you have to have it on day one, make plans for a trip to the LEGO store tomorrow. Quote
legolee35 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Just been on youtube and watched a more in depth review of this awesome set uploaded by jangbricks, im on my mobile at the mo and don't know how to post a link so if anyone can do that for me that would be great and I thank you in advance. I was going to get this set anyway as I love anything to do with fun fairs as I work on a waltzer in the uk but I really can't wait to get this now. Quote
LegoSjaak Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Ouch....it is hard to see the small lights on the ticket-box... they are not symmetrical... i Always have problems with that...haha.. If i would buy this set (but i don't), i would redo the lights....haha... Quote
joopsta Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Here in the Netherlands still no VIP release on the S@H site. Anyone? Quote
legolee35 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Still says coming soon on June 1st for the uk site Quote
Fritzy Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 You probably have to be signed in to see this: http://shop.lego.com/en-CA/VIP-Early-Access-10244 The actual listing says it's out of stock, though... Quote

I am a VIP member and I went to the link you provided and it shows add to bag for Canada but June 1st for the UK where I am. I just wanted to post this in case it helps any Canadians who are VIP members get this set early. Edited May 15, 2014 by gregrichards Quote
Fritzy Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Ah, so it does! Looks like it's actually available now. Thanks. Personally, I'll be waiting until June. Quote
talos Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 The FM shows as out of stock on the US S@H site, log in and its 'available' with a limit of 2. Too bad its not a few bucks off for VIP's....haha! I don't think I want it yet...for one thing, I don't have enough space for it right now... Quote
Off the wall Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Was at the lego store today with no intention of buying this set. But, once I saw it on display, I changed my mind. I agree with one of the lego employees who said none of the photos that she had seen on the Internet really did the product justice. I go to the lego store a few times a month and thought I'd either buy an x wing or a duplicate of a modular. Nope, bought the fairground mixer. This also appears to be something where a family could work on it as a group project as there are so many individual components that can be assembled completely independent of one another. Nice work by lego. Edited May 15, 2014 by Off the wall Quote
Fritzy Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 That's great to hear, and you're certainly right about the notion of this prompting a group project. It's perfect for it. Quote
shawn_low Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Didn't plan on getting this...then I saw the VIP email and someone ended up ordering one! The deal in the Australian S@H isn't bad. Comes with free Shredder and Balloon Cart polybags! Plus I had Lego points to burn! Quote
legolee35 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Also avaliable now at S@H in the uk plus with free balloon cart Quote
