I'm sorry, but the new soccer sets are junk.  They have, in my mind, no real

Obviously your opinion, but I see lots of value in them:

- A fun game (I haven't really played the game, but I've watched people have
fun, and I've heard people talk about how much fun they had with it).

- Some decent parts (sure, they are juniorized in some ways, but they aren't a
total lost cause).

- Soccer Buses (what more can you say - very useful minifigs, train windows,
trans light blue town glass [fits 1x4x3 train windows and 1x4x3 town windows],
trans light blue 1x1 bricks, trans light blue 2x6x2 windscreens, several other
bits).

- Where else can you get loads of little soccer balls to use as loads in your
train cars :-) (Larry, I still say you should include a load of soccer balls in
your hopper kits).

If I could just add to this thread I have to say that they have redeeming
value to kids for playability of 3409 (as long as you aren't alone) and good
selections of parts for some of my MOC stuff, like Castle and Space.  If you
can get them at a reduced price, sale or otherwise do it if you have a need
for anything in them.  Bonus, all of mine came with free LEGOLAND, CA passes!

The other sets in the series add to the realism and fun in a large Town
display.  IMHO the smaller sub-$10 sets are somewhat unnecessary for MOC
stuff, but good for table-top kid play.
2 cents,
Aaron

(...) Darn, I hate being misunderstood. When I said the "new" sets I meant the 3 $5 ones for 2001. They look pretty crappy, especially compared to the really good ones TLC released for 2000. I have the $6 one and am planning on getting the big one (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.sports)
