trekgate502 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I just cannot bring myself to get excited about this as compared to others. Rather than 2 of these with 2 Christmas Sets, 2 Hot Dog Carts, 10% VIP, I'd rather pour money for example into 1 TB with 10% VIP and Christmas set. I may be alone in this. Anyone?

bricksnstocks Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 According to Brickset, this has become OOS in UK since Oct 11!? Can someone verify this? Does this means super short life for the fairground mixer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It means nothing. Out of stock means nothing. The set was just released. It is not going away. I love it though and am hoping for a carnival theme, all packed up on trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 According to Brickset, this has become OOS in UK since Oct 11!? Can someone verify this? Does this means super short life for the fairground mixer? This is double VIP points month, it's the only time where there is any kind of discount on exclusives so it's expected that some are going to go out of stock.

Alpinemaps Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I am completely clueless when it comes to Power Functions. Does anyone know exactly what Power Functions I'd need to get to power this guy up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I am completely clueless when it comes to Power Functions. Does anyone know exactly what Power Functions I'd need to get to power this guy up? This kit has everything you need. I bought it since everything else was backordered when I was looking. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Motor-Set-8293 If you just want the necessary components. Pick a battery box. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Battery-Box-8881 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-AAA-Battery-Box-88000 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Rechargeable-Battery-Box-8878 And this motor. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-M-Motor-8883 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 So I could do just the 8881 and the 8883, and be set, it looks like. Doesn't matter on the backorder status to me. I'm finally getting a Fairground Mixer for myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need one cable to connect the box and the motor. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Power-Functions-Extension-Wire-20-8871?fromListing=listing And then yes, you'd have everything. Make sure you get the M motor as suggested above, the L motor will be too much for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motor has a pigtail, it appears to be about 8", that will work, but it will limit the distance you can put battery from the set, if that is a concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I spy an orange foot. Belongs to a friends daughter doing a science project on solar power. Bought the solar kit to use and we are going to build different solar powered vehicles (big/small wheels, tracked) to see the impact on the amount of power produced.

oneknightr Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I was in a Lego store last night and an employee told me after 2 days on the shelf they hadn't sold a single mixer set. Take that with a huge grain of salt of course. I personally like the set but it is a little underwhelming after seeing it on display in the store. Of course the whole idea of it all fitting on the trucks is lost when someone sees the display. Which in my opinion is one of the best aspects of the set. Sorry for quoting an old post but I just recently picked up a couple of these as I am a believer. I love the creativity of how everything folds up and loads up, but I do agree that aspect is lost when it's on display at the Lego store. With the rumored Ferris Wheel coming out, that should help with the resale value of this set since it's the first in a (hopefully) long line of sets in this theme. I'm kicking myself now for selling my 10196 Carousel over a year ago. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I'm small time compared to a lot of you here.

peterjames Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I agree, the way it is designed is brilliant and also includes the luminescent bricks. I think it also suffers from its name. Fairground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Suffers from the name Mixer too (sorry). just like Star Wars Rebels Sets I thought the Ghost was a terrible set and now I love it. I'll be joining the Fairground Mixer bandwagon soon enough I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 This set suffers not. The question is how many? 20, 30, 50, 70? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
