Simpler times. 

 

And before my time! Just. 

 

Trying to part out an 853 Car Chassis Technic set from 1977. Wonder what I will get for it.

Not trying to rain on your parade TOK, but you should probably combine all of these Brickset articles into one page and then pin it.

On another note, that fork-lift is sweet!

Really going to love getting one of these with the new cargo terminal coming out. can't wait!

It's a sharp set for sure.  Must avoid collecting other themes....wallet...can't bear more spending.

Speaking of new pieces: are those forks on the forklift new?

The set looks really nice and I've always been into Cargo/Racing Lego so it does appeal to me.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is a new piece. I like the look of it.

It looks like it was only used (as well as introduced) in set 4512 Cargo Train from 2003. Here is the BrickLink. I remember Lego had a slightly different forklift part that is much older.

Are those 1x1 round tiles. I have not seen this element before.

That part was introduced just last year, and has immediately become one of my absolute favorite pieces! They have had the 1x1 square tile for so long; it's about time they did a round one.

Whether they are from Eurobricks or Brickset, I could merge some together when more come in if they are under the same theme. It seems wierd sticking reviews for City, Galaxy Squad, Chima, and Friends together under the same roof as it were.

 

Speaking of new parts, I like the modified ballcap and new headgear.

Another one just came in. This one for the smallest Coast Guard set, Surfer Rescue.

Name: Surfer Rescue Number: 60011 Pieces: 32 Minifigures: 2

Retail: US - $6.99, CAN - $8.99, AUS - $9.99, UK -

The large Coast Guard set, 60014, is awesome. Love the ship with it's sub and the smaller boat.

That part was introduced just last year, and has immediately become one of my absolute favorite pieces! They have had the 1x1 square tile for so long; it's about time they did a round one.

60020 was at the Lego store today.

This just in and happily coincides with the release of the Coast Guard sets in stores now, another review on Eurobricks.

Name: Coast Guard Helicopter Number: 60013 Pieces: 230 Minifigures: 4

Retail: US - $39.99, CAN - $49.99, AUS - $39.99, UK -

The coast guard sets look really cool.

Can't believe I missed this one until now. Ah well, here is the Eurobricks review for the 4x4 & Diving Boat.

Name: 4x4 & Diving Boat Number: 60012 Pieces: 128 Minifigures: 2

Retail: US - $19.99, CAN - $24.99, AUS - $19.99, UK -

I really like these sets. Hoping to see some of them reach the deep discounts we've seen for sets like the mine, the forest police station, etc.

60014 is only

60014 is only

These are some sharp looking sets.  I'll dabble in this line at a decent discount.

It is amazing how shark infested the Lego City waters are.

I'm on a clip binge today. Here are some commercials for the newest City sets in case you haven't seen them on TV or wherever they supposed to show normally anymore.

The new city cargo models look incredible to me.  Hopefully add them to my collection at some point.

Trying to get caught up on all the 2013 set reviews so here are some more from the great City.

Did you notice that 60012 is a variant of the 7737 issued in 2009, even same amount of parts but twice more expensive?

7737 was $9.99
