Lego City Harbor -551pcs.

Product Information

And yet you know that AFOLs would be whining to no end if regular plates like the new 8x16 or 16x16 ones were used instead. However, something that's often ignored is that not everyone has the sort of thinking patterns that make LEGO building so easy.

Haha I felt the same way too prior to reading this, good thing despite the excellent review I'm still not sold on this set.

The conveyor is held in place only by the two dark tan axles with stud towards the rear; these allow the whole conveyor to tilt backwards to about 90 degrees: an accident of design rather than functional feature I fear; I could see no use for this. This is the one and only part of this set which seemed to have any thought put into it; the colour scheme of blue and yellow is quite striking, and the use of the blue train piece, bows and slopes contrast nicely with the long yellow jib, making this quite attractive. For this reason the instructions often like to alternate between colors whenever possible, and use vivid contrasting colors in areas that aren't likely to be seen in the finished model. At this time, this is currently the only set that includes the 72x4x18 ship hull, which is the largest single piece ship hull that LEGO has released to date.

The adhesive never came off from it being in the bathtub or swimming pool, and despite the stickers in today's sets being paper-based rather than plastic-based I don't think they'd have any problems with coming off in the water unless you were really rough with the set. Now that the whole set is assemebled, we can have a good look at the main play feature of the set in action.Some of this room is under the brown plate at the front, unfortunately rendering a few errant bricks out of reach of the grab bucket. Bags 2 and 3 contain the most pieces, and come together to form the rather colourful harbourside structures. While I agree this is a design flaw, I'm actually becoming quite grateful for its appearance in this set since it helps demonstrate something I've been trying to tell fellow AFOLS for a long time: baseplates are not the solution to all of life's problems. Now it is time for the first medieval harbor set and it comes with a lot of nice details and colors. The house sections have a lift-of-technology) Outside you can see the stalls with fish, packages and barrels and a lot more.

Once the difficulty of grabbing the bricks in the first place is overcome, the process runs smoothly and works surprisingly well. Yellow handle-tiles demarcate the holds, and apparent here is the open bridge, exposed on the sides to North Sea gales *shiver*. The Lego City Harbor Set 4645 comes on the heels of 2009’s popular City Harbor set (7994) which now sells for a small fortune on secondary markets. The superstructure of the ship is terrible as the bridge is open on both sides and the bridge is small for a large ship.

The SNOT brackets with grille tiles make 'bumpers' to prevent ships being damaged by banging against the harbourside; I'd have liked to see these along the length of the wall rather than the single brown grille tiles used. However, now we've scrutinised the various features in some detail, some major flaws have started to show.
