a garage for hotrod racers!

Posted by jgptee in Singapore on 15 July 2009

i like this set for the following reasons:

1. it's a large, 4-walled hotrod garage, that is totally different from all city garages.

2. the interior of the garage can be observed by lifting off the roofs, and contains an office with a desk, on which a computer and a mug sits, and a large spacious repair area that has a lifting ramp capable enough to support any vehicle that is 6-stud wide and up to 20-stud long.

3. the colour of the garage is tanned, which is my favourite colour!

4. the architectural design of the garage is quite vintage, so it sits very nicely in any town layout that has the cafe corner and the green grocer.

5. 3 fascinating, very detailed hotrods, each with 2 inter-changeable engines - one engine serves as the cover to make it look ordinary, while the other is the "booster" or vanity engine that makes it look like a hotrod.

6. the 3 hotrods are at least 17-stud long and 6-stud wide. very big cars!

4. the hotrods are the vintage types and very consistent with the cafe corner and the green grocer designs - if u are looking for vintage cars to go with the entire look and feel of it.

5. 4 very interesting mini-figures - 3 racing buddies and 1 mechanic - that u don't normally find in a regular city set. well, the mechanic is like the construction worker from the city sets, but this one's got a blue cap on. lol!

6. the tanned 6-stud long and 5-brick high wall-panels are a rare find.

however there are some drawbacks:

1. the hotrods, especially the yellow SUV type, are all very fragile, and must be handled with care, even while building. the bits come off very easily, if you are not careful.

2. i thought there should be more tools and accessories, instead of just one saw and a spanner, to make it look more convincing and complete... maybe a couple of spare tires, some car parts, oil barrels, etc would be nice.

3. stickers! well, u don't have to apply them actually. the cars look fantastic without the stickers.

i imported this set myself because it's not available in my country. grab it while u still can.

Good Set

Posted by hustla187 in United States on 08 November 2008

When I first heard that Lego was making a set like this, my jaw almost dropped. However, there are some drawbacks to this:

PROS
3 cars
garage
engines
4 minifigs



CONS
Stickers(which aren't really needed)
Cars could be a little bit smaller


Overall, this set isn't bad, but has some weak parts in this set.

Very well done

Posted by lilwillie in United States on 14 September 2008

I am a car nut and auto technician so this set was high on my list to get this year. The price is a little bit of a shocker but once it was opened up and I started to put everything together it was the least of my worries. The shop is very basice but the color choices and placement make it a great looking building and is a nice addition to any City Display. The three cars are all very different but built very similar which is a good thing since using the LEGO design you could come up with many different styles on your own. The only downfall to the cars is they are fragile and don't allow much playability for young children unless you want to be fixing them often. Which is ironic since this is a Custom Car Garage.

The four minifigs are all different from one another and the technician fig is a cool looking fig. Out of the three vehicles I think the brown/grey truck does the best job of looking that part of a custom vehicle.

The idea of putting the Digital Design CD in the box is a good one. People that don't know of the Lego digital design will now. All though I doubt there are many people who are lego fans that don't know of it.
