Favorite lego cars

These are some of my absolute favorite cars and vehicles.

1) Below:I like this car which could be amphibious.  Also the color scheme is a good shade

2) below:
This gas truck is so well done I think due to the antique style.  I also am partial to grey colors and shades.

3) Below: This truck below reminds me of the green truck we used to play army men with; it just has a neat

Appearance

(Green plastic army men truck)

Below The real truck I saw in a nearby truck yard/depot

4) Below: I like the color and the grill slanted back and ability to fit 2 minifigs inside the cabin

The white car has so much detail and sits 2 minifigs comfortly.

5) Above: from Pharoahs quest set

I like the different tires sizes and the tan color

The tilted grill is also a neat feature.

6) below:

I Always liked small sets that I could afford as a kid

7) and 8) below:

 

Above 4 pics..loved the design and sleek appearance of the yellow convertable as well as the color and ability to make different cars with the set called Land busters.  Also I liked the size.

10) below is a another small set I could afford as a kid mowing yards.

11) above is a racing car with smooth curves.  I like the front grill/air intake

12) above: simple but yet appears complex

13)I like any airport service vehicles.  Also I got these for 8.99 each

Even though the vehicle is small, that is typical for service vehicle so it is more "realistic"

14) Above:

I like the above 2 trucks as they appear real.  I also like the color scheme.  Also I like the usage of an arch which blends.

So that's the picks for favorite vehicles!

Lego artemis

 I bought the artemis rocket set and I'm thrilled with the scaffolding appearance in the tower.  I put together the pics of different launch pads and the artemis (real) pad

 

 

Gotta love lego rocket launchers 

I would love to have these new sets

New Favorite sets I like!

There are a lot of people and equipment in this picture

Love the seal above!

I've always love ski jumping like above

Like the orca above more than the boat!

Appears neat above, but worried pieces are too specific i.e. windshield

UNREAL...CLASSIC SPACE IS BACK!!!

 Lately I've been wishing there were classic space sets.  I just would like to remember and go back to easier times.  Last night, while working on Pics for the last blog entry, I came across a website called The Verge.  And there it was...THE GALAXY EXPLORER THROWBACK WHICH LOOKS FANTASTIC.  I have dreampt this would happen for years.  There was a great proposal on lego ideas for a similar model but it didn't happen/get enough votes for production

I love that the tiles are printed, the white arrow is just made by bricks.  I cannot wait to photograph the 2 boxes of the 1979 version 

I cannot express how happy I am!  I have dreamt  of this day and most of the legos I have and several blog entries are about bringing back classic space and trying to recreate the look (neoclassic space).   I thought Benny's spaceship was the closest I would ever see released in the classic space style.  I cannot imagine what it will be like to actually have this in my hands!

75329 greebling in a set

 I was thrilled to see the lego trench run. Oddly in cleaning the day before, we found a 75$ gift card...so I used it and got this set

Love this turret, makes me remember watching the original in the theater  and seeing the light missiles coming from the turret 

I love that there is greebling on a large scale.  These pieces will be great for a classic space moc.   The variety and amount of the pieces is fantastic.  If this goes on to a bigger scale or length, it will be hard to not have if it is affordable!

Unsure why the 2x4 brick appeared dirty 

Can not wait to greeble!!  Perfect set in my opinion...
