What do people think of the new Designer sets?
I think Lego has definitely been listening to what we've asked for. I've got
the 4402 Motion Madness (blue speedboat show), 4403 Air Blazers (red
helicopter shown) and 4404 Land Busters (yellow pickup truck shown).
These are a not bad alternative to Model Team sets. Don't let the special
decorative pieces fool you - these sets have a *lot* of regular pieces.
E.g. 4403 has 10 2x16 black plate.
Some people have commented that they like the challenge of building shown
models without detailed instructions. This is what a competitor has been
doing for a couple of years - showing large alternate models without
instructions. Some folks like full instructions though. These sets have
both - full instructions for alternate models, and lots of pictures without
instructions for more.
My favorite is 4403. I was most of the way through building the main model
before I finally realized what the mass of Technic stuff inside was for.
Nicely done!
The main model for 4404 is similar in style to what some people were doing
a bunch of last year I think - building very good looking vehicles with
things like working doors, detailed interiors, etc.

| (...) New, as in the 2004 additions? Or the sets from 2003? Either way my answer is the same... I think they are the best thing to come along in years! (...) Either that, or they came to this course on their own accord. I think these sets reflect a (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.reviews)
