  Creator is here!
 
I went by Zany Brainy (in Raleigh NC) tonight to use my $5 off a $20 purchase coupon. Wondering what I would buy, I found two Creator sets, 4175 Adventures With Max and Tina, $19.99, 220 pcs, 2 Creator figs; and 4176 The Race of the Year, $24.99, (...)

The racing set looks like it has a lot of great parts for a reasonable price! Frank Filz <ffilz@mindspring.com> wrote in message news:3AC5595F.B9812A...ing.com... (...) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

(...) Yes, especially if you can use the Zany Brainy $5 coupon on it. Man, just browsing through the idea book, it's got tons of nifty little ideas. I think they may have a winner with this series. Frank (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

(...) ZB didn't send me a coupon this time. Maybe it's lost in the mail. When does it expire? (...) No sign of 4172? or any of the smaller sets? (...) So this makes them Mickey Mouse size? If this is the case then the freestyle door unit is the (...) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)
 
  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) You won't be pleasantly surprised at all. I saw most of the Creator sets in London a month ago and the one with the transparent bricks had around 4-6 1x2 bricks in like three colors. Nothing at all rare :( I did pick up the Race of the Year (...) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

(...) RES-Q, Extreme Team, and C-3P0 mini-figures have printed backs. I think Stormtroopers might too, but I don't have any. (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

(...) April 1. The Zany Brainy in Raleigh had a bunch at the counter (I may actually go by tomorrow and see if they are handing out coupons and pick up another copy of 4176). (...) Nope. Even asked the folks in back (they were actually playing with (...) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) Nope, I have no idea what that part might be, I don't see anything it could be which is in the set. Frank (23 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)
 
  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) yep, the stormtroopers do have printed backs. (23 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)
 
  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) Frank, Thanks for the heads up on the Creator sets. I went to my local Zany Brainy here in Charlotte this afternoon and found them just putting 4175 and 4176 out on the shelf. As I was looking at them an employee told me that they were going (...) (23 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

(...) I got the 4119 (transparent bricks) at Legoland CA about 2 weeks ago. There ws nothing special about it, just a few 2x2 transparent bricks that I have never seen before (not that that means anything, lol). The book was really neat - great (...)

  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) Just a followup on my earlier post. I received the new Zany Brainy flyer in the mail today. While the two Creator sets are listed inside, they are not on sale as the ZB employee had indicated. :( However, there are two older sets that are on (...)

  Re: Creator is here!
 
(...) I picked up 4177, "Building Stories with NaNa Bird", last week at the MOA LIC. I think it was mis-marked at only $20 (378 pieces, plus it includes a videotape), or maybe it's a promo set with a lower price. Anyway, it also has a number of (...)

  Re: Creator is here!
 
Yeah I've seen some of those new sets. Why do they treat us LDrawers like this? Those creatorfigs (or how about midifigs? I think so) will cause us a lot of sweat. <sigh> /Tore (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.general)

Hi Frank, Aren't there some new chrome pieces in these sets? I saw the boxes at ZB and it looked like a few newly chromed parts. Was I seeing them wrong? thanks! (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)
