Faefrost Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 My local Lego store had the bright idea of displaying the mixer motorized and putting the PF motor kit on the table and shelves next to the Mixers. Quote
rollermonkey Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 ^Probably not an idea generated by your local store... I just saw on Brickset that they are adding a 'Fairground Mixer Collection (5003588) which includes a motor and battery with the set. I thought all along that should of been the way it came. Its not on S@H in the USA yet, the UK price is £149.99. Quote
rollermonkey Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Finally got around to picking this up and finished building it tonight... Wow. The smaller truck and the fair stuff that stows on it are just OK, but the white semi and mixer itself are FANTASTIC. So awesome. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I am probably planning to get this but I wanted to ask is this set worth getting it? Quote
Off the wall Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Go to the lego website, pull up the instructions and go through them. That should give you a good idea. I have it, it's no longer on display and on a scale of one to ten, it's somewhere in the middle, I definintely wouldn't stretch my lego budjet to buy it. Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I am probably planning to get this but I wanted to ask is this set worth getting it? That's a personal decision. I like amusement parks, they were my hobby for over a decade, and I've been to over 400 of them around the world. I was getting this set no matter what, but There are other things about the set that might interest other people. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I am probably planning to get this but I wanted to ask is this set worth getting it? Yes. It worth buying this set. It has maaannny cool feature and when you build it you feel how great this set is. I built mine 2 weeks back and made a thread here in EB. You might want to check it too!..:-) Edited October 10, 2014 by VintageLegoEra Quote
Big-whoop-Guybrush Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Unfortunately I now want this set ! It looks great. I think though it'll have to wait for me to pick up the modulars that are all looking likely to be retired soon Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I have a question, doe anybody have a picture of the fairground mixer with the ballon cart? I really want to see if they blend together well or not. Quote
rollermonkey Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I don't have a picture, but the only real issue is that the balloon cart is unrealistically large/tall. (The push handle is eyeball-high on a minifig.) If you can deal with that, then it's a great fit. Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I have a question, doe anybody have a picture of the fairground mixer with the ballon cart? I really want to see if they blend together well or not. I will try making one for u. Yes, it will look awesome with the set and it blends very well! Quote
StevOOO Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Can someone confirm how much space this set takes to display? Will it fit in a row of base plates or would it have to be two base plates deep? Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Can someone confirm how much space this set takes to display? Will it fit in a row of base plates or would it have to be two base plates deep? For a proper display you will need 2 baseplates 32x32 so you have have all the parts neat looking Quote
tafkatb Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Someone on the Brickset forums is reporting that there will be a follow up to this next summer in the form of a Ferris Wheel. Quote

Gongoro73 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 ^^ Great. That is what I was expecting for. A complete amusement park. A new attraction each year. Quote
Sarah Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Someone on the Brickset forums is reporting that there will be a follow up to this next summer in the form of a Ferris Wheel. COOOL Quote
namioik Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Triple threat in everyone's wallet for AFOLs that buy creator. Modulars, winter village, and now carnival theme.... How lovely :( Quote
VintageLegoEra Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 OMG....a lot to spend in the coming months : Pirate , Modular, this one...all new 2015...newd to prepare the wallet from now!... Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Does anyone remember when the rumors of the fairground mixer started. Quote
tafkatb Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 February 17, jackson05 on the Brickset forums reported a new fairground ride "of a similar concept to the #10196 Carousel" would be coming out in the summer. Clearly we're a little ahead of schedule to be hearing about the next installment so soon. Quote
trisha Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 wow a new ride would be so cool! I loved building it, but I must confess that although the idea of how everything is supposed to get in the truck and all is very cool, I could have done without it, same as with the fence. I guess when I am more confident building I would try to put it on another base. Quote
drooppu Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I really liked this set! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it! I think that the price should have been more like $130 USD but It was worth it! I like that they included the other fair games! it was also great to have everything functioning! I thought that the glow in the dark was a great finishing touch as well! I hope they make more fairground sets in the future! Quote
