 60330 CITY Hospital

New waves of LEGO sets are always an exciting thing, but this year was more than exciting. It was phenomenal! We got a mobile crane, more police headquarters sets, a fire station, a series of stunt-inspired sets, and other great stuff. But, to top off the list, we got a hospital. There hasn't been a hospital set for years, so that's why it's kind of a big deal. The newest hospital set is loaded with minifigs and beautiful builds, so all this waiting was really worth it. In a moment, you'll see what I mean. Anyway, this set includes a hospital, a helicopter, an ambulance truck, and 12 minfigures. 4 of them are named, and they are: Dr. Flieber, Dr. Spetzel, Citrus the Clown, and Wallop. This set also includes a wheelchair and dirt bike. It's a really big change from last year, since we were only getting a few builds (most times a single building), but now we're getting sets overflowing with builds and figs. I hope this continues...

The hospital looks great, and the detailing is really expressive. I seriously think that this set would worth it just for the hospital, no ambulance or helicopter. The minifigs are pretty cool as well, especially the clown, because of the exclusive prints on his torso.

The Wallop guy has exclusive printing on both his torso and leg elements, which makes him a sought-after minifig, just like Greedo in the STAR WARS theme. The other characters are okay, and are quite close in appearance to any other commoner in the CITY theme. There's nothing really to be excited about here. The builds are what people are getting this set for, really. Just let me say, the minifigs are good, and they should be something that others buy this set for, but the hospital is cool, like I said before, and it's okay for people to consider this set just a hospital.

The hospital has many cool features, like a fold-out children's ward, an MRI machine with a sliding stretcher, and a lavatory with several compartments. There is also a maternity ward with a contemporary cradle and a bed. If you search these rooms thoroughly, you will find a bounty of extra details in every spot imaginable, and it all only makes use of 816 pieces. That's not a lot when you consider everything, and it is admittedly amazing that LEGO pulled this off perfectly.


There are so many great details in this set.


Anyway, that's it. This set is totally amazing and I do recommend getting this, if you feel like you absolutely have to after reading this, but for others, I say that you should wait a bit, when this set goes on sale. But what do you think? Is this set worth it? I absolutely think so, but how about you? 

This Hospital starts at around $119.99.

31100 CREATOR 3-in-1 Sports Car

 31100 CREATOR Sports Car The 31100 CREATOR Sports Car is a recent LEGO release, and a CREATOR set. I feel the need to review this to be fair to the CREATOR fans out there, including myself. This set comes with 134 pieces, which can be used to build either a sports car, a hot rod or a cargo plane. There are no minifigures included, which may be a downer for some people, but it's totally fine. The absence of minifigures does not stop this set from being great for both play and display. The sports car is a beautiful model, with its extensive detail and sleek design. The spoiler is foldable, which allows this vehicle to quickly change looks, even if the only difference is the position of the spoiler. It rolls along quite nicely, mainly because of the wheels, which are rarely used elements in the world of LEGO. Maybe it's because of the popularity of the classic wheel part. But anyway, we have to continue. Here is the second build you can make, and it is a hot rod. It's burstin...

60324 CITY Mobile Crane

 60324 CITY Mobile Crane CITY sets are back, with more great builds and minifigs. One of these new sets is a mobile crane vehicle, called 60324 CITY Mobile Crane. It's a great addition to your MOC city, considering that a crane like this has never been made. Yes, there was a TECHNIC version, but how are you going to fit that into your city? I'm just talking about good old bricks. Let's get to the set now. It includes 1 crane, a road plate, and 2 minifigures. Not much to it considering how much you'll have to pay for this set, but still, exclusive parts abound in this one. None of the minifigs are named, but you'll find that they still make appearances in the TV show. All of the unnamed figs still get a part in the show, but that's not what we're here to discuss, is it? The crane looks pretty good, if I may say so myself. It has an operating boom and a working winch system, which is great news for the buyers that want to play with this set and not just displa...

60404 CITY Burger Truck

       As I said last article, I would do an article on the new burger truck set from LEGO, so now here I am doing that. It was a bit more overpriced than I initially assumed, so I wasn't too pleased but I guess it's okay. Anyway, before we get to the price, I want to just introduce the set. It's directed towards those 5 years old and up and included 194 pieces. The sole build is obviously a burger truck, or rather a burger van  because of its humble size with a big detachable burger housing the chef. Technically, the vehicle is just a flatbed van that carries a big hollow replica of the products its owners are selling. Anyway, the set, in terms of characters, is standard for these food truck sets from CITY: 2. There is the burger chef and then some random civilian who appears to be in tune with the local music scene (pun intended)      As you can see, there isn't too much to this set functionally (mostly aesthetics), and definitely nothing that w...
