Hi Adrian, (...) I've got 3 of Privet Drive, so I have lots of blue pieces, but the car doesn't hold more than 2 people. In fact, this is the car I want to expand to hold four people, but having no experience making cars, I don't have any idea how I (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) You might want to consider picking up the Harry Potter Escape From Privet Drive set: (URL) car is 6 wide and seats two minifigs easily, and looks like it's got a back seat that might be adaptable to seat two more. If you buy a couple and get (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Once again, Mr. Lopes, you amaze me with your creations. If the people at lego had half a brain, they would snatch you up immediately as a creator for lego sets in the much needed revival of the town series. Sometime I need to see these (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.town)

Hello everyone. I recently purchased the Mega Bloks Probuilders NYC Fire Engine. I highly recommend not purchasing the set, or at least ensuring you have all the pieces so that you are not disappointed like myself. I went to post a review of the set (...)
