(...) 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.

(...) 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 (24 years ago, 31-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.reviews)

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, (...)

I just built this set too and i must say i found it quite good to look at and use. I found the sleds stuck at the joints as well, but realised it was because the tube that moves on the slides, was slightly off centre. Straighten it up and they move (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.reviews)

I don't know if any of you have laid hands on these, but they are now plentiful in sunny SoCal. So here's my review (1-10 grading scale) of a just completed 7317 LoM set: <Attractiveness (or reason I cared to get one)> -9- This set reminded me of (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Ah, but I plan to use the parts in my LEGO creations. That's one of the reasons I got the pens. Things like the pens are also I think primarily targetted at the LEGOLAND gift shop, but hey, they might as well sell them from S@H also. (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) Several reasons: - a normal head doesn't have a rod hole - the rod hole in the pen pieces is rod diameter the whole thickness of the brick, which makes for a sturdier pen - the pen pieces are not exactly LEGO dimensions (which I actually think (...)
