I got #10124Wright Flyer, #10133 BNSF Locomotive, #10029 Lunar Lander, and
#10157 High Speed Train Locomotive. A very sweet haul!!
A short list of comments now that I've already built all four models.
#10124 Wright Flyer
A nice model that's very evocative of the famous plane, but as others have
most likely already mentioned, it's fairly flimsy (and a number of the large
tan plates arrived a bit warped). However, any negatives are totally
outweighed by the fabulous selection of Classic brown parts in many uncommon
pieces and almost 100 chain links!
#10133 BNSF Locomotive
Aaaah, my first influx of dark green! The color scheme is so gorgeous that
I didn't even apply the stickers. I wonder how many non-Train fans will
purchase this set just for the dark green? The new 1x1 sloped tile is going
to be a wonderful detail piece, and we get a bunch in dark green and orange!
I also like the new 1x4 decorated engine control panel. Has anyone else
noticed that even though the engine control panel is dark bley, Engineer
Max's hands are Classic dark gray? (GOD, I'm a nerd!!)
#10029 Lunar Lander
This set will always be a special one to me since I was born on July 20th,
1969. It's an excellent model with a superb selection of Classic gray and
dark gray parts and a nice chunk of tan (especially the sixteen 1x4 hinge
bricks!). I just wish there could have been an interior of some kind and I
think that the astronauts should have had gold chrome visors. Still, it's
great to have a few minifigs that actually have the NASA name on them again
after almost fourteen years! We haven't seen them since #1682 Space
Shuttle, one of my all-time fave-rave sets.
#10157 High Speed Train Locomotive
I wanted this set mainly for the new nose and the trans-smoke pieces, but it
is a very nice model. The rear compartment could've used some more details,
but it sure is a sleek lookin' little devil! The new 1x2 train ticket
ticket tile is also quite nice.
Hope all of your holidays and nights are filled with building!
