Behind CITY 4 we find….
Day Four: Toy Crane
It’s day four. That usually means a mini-figure and the start of a new three-day-theme. But today we’ve got a delightful twist: A microscale toy crane!
There’s a fair amount of detail packed into this 14 15 piece model and the construction is fairly clever. There are even a couple of extra bits to add to your collection. (Or to replace the parts that accidentally roll off the table and get lost on the floor the first time around.)
What does this mean for the 2010 CITY Advent in general? Well, I think it’s clear LEGO has moved past the “Cops, Robbers, and Public Servants” angle that they’ve clung to in previous years. This year we’re getting what I’ve been asking for all along: winter, toy, and holiday themed daily adventures. It’s a really nice change.
Can they keep it up, though? Or are we going to see the return of the blahs before the end of the month?
i liked it but at first i didnt know what it was i thought a bootleg jumped in my calander!
You mean this could be the end of Officer Grumpypants?
And where’s the hidden evil in this one?
I suppose it could be that we don’t get a new minifigure
I count 15 pieces 😉
@Ranger: D’oh. Fixed.
You should have said that “the construction is [reasonably] clever.” Man, I’m bad at puns.
At first I thought it was a minifig sized snowblower but I could not figure out the arm on it.
I’m still not sure about it, we’ll see what tomorrow brings.
i thought it was supposed to be a snowblower!
