I originally designed these streetlamps for “The Cube”:



I should probably try and see how the look with the modern plate hinges...

Play well,

   Steven,



Speaking of Lime Green Fire Engines, I’d love to see one from TLG too. But until they make one, you can check out this pic of my Lime Green Fire Engine. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3275744


There are lots of departments that have lime fire trucks, but Lego hasn’t given us the parts to make them. In addition, almost all airport fire departments have their rigs in lime.

Based on my conversations with other builders, I put together a list of parts that aren’t available.

1) Lime doors. Including car doors and lift doors.

2) A better ladder piece. The current ladders from Lego work great as ground ladders, but there hasn’t been a piece that works well as an aerial ladder

Megablocks makes one, but it’s too large and I would never buy their brand.

3) Minifig hazmat suits I think a rescue hazmat set with a rescue truck and minifigs would sell VERY well.

4) Flat windscreens in 6-wide. (Long been a problem for fire truck builders)

5) Please re-release this part in red. It’s going for as much as $20 on Bricklink.

Lego fire builders represent one on the larger sub-groups here and on Brickshelf. And Lego fire sets consistently show up on Lego Shop and Home’s top 25 sellers list.

Thanks for your consideration!

The 2012 fire set photos have now been widely distributed.

I know some people will groan at yet another line of city fire sets, but keep in mind that kids are the target audience, and these sets sell well.

However, Lego put some long-awaited goodies in these sets that AFOLs have been asking for.
  • New ladder piece!
  • Printed fireman legs
  • Fire chief minifig
Thank you, TLC, for these. Can’t wait for these sets to be released.

-Steven

Hi All,
The www.altBricks.com website is ready for orders!!!  It took way longer than
planned to get the site all up and running. And we have been so burried in
"side" orders that we keep running out!  But we just received a large shipment
so there are plenty for all (we hope)!

On a side note, we aren't selling on Bricklink any longer, but still love the
site!!!  Thanks Bricklink for letting altBricks get a start on your site!

Awesome concept, but sadly the build does not excite me. Maybe focus on one vehicle and a more interesting building. A smaller set with an intricate build might be more interesting to CUUSOO users.

Unfortunately, Ross won’t be attending-- actually, this is a work gig for me! I will be vending with me Brickmania mates!

I am also looking forward to bending elbows after hours with you and the Fêters!
