60060 Lego City Auto Transporter

After a series of updates on my machines, it is time to talk about some of Lego's new products that have recently came out. The Lego City Auto Transporter (set number 60060) has 350 pieces and retails at $29.99 on the official Lego Store. This means the set has about 11.67 cents a piece which isn't that bad but the larger sets usually has a better cost per piece. This set comes with 3 vehicles including the auto transporter and 2 basic cars. It comes with 2 minifigures and has functions that Lego has put to make it more playable such as adjusting a ramp for the new cars to get transported which is done with an axle mechanism.

This set looks like a great addition to your Lego city and would probably look good if you have the earlier Lego releases such as the Lego Garage. Overall, I don't know why there are 2 minifigures since one of them is the driver and the other one is possibly the customer but the customer looks weird as if he has to follow the auto transporter until it reaches its destination to receive the car and sign the contract.

First Look at Lego Parisian Restaurant Modular Building Set 10243

Lego has officially announced its new modular building in its series. Expected to be on sale on January 1st, this set contains 2469 pieces and will cost $159.99. The building itself has great details and some new features such as a Lego scooter and new printed pieces. Unlike other modulars one of the noticeable things is that the stairs in this building is on the outside since there is so much in the inside. The exterior has a variety of French architecture and is a great addition to your Lego city. Personally, I am a huge fan of the modular buildings and have the Grand Emporium and Fire Brigade.

Just like every other Lego set this set consists of new building techniques and also has everything you would find in a French restaurant. The second floor is a residential area while the top floor is a art studio which Lego has put in a typical French building. I found this set to have somewhat smaller floors probably because of the stairs taking up the space around the building. The interior is amazing especially the fully functional kitchen with all the dishes and everything else. Lego has not been lazy to put lots of details inside. Many more modulars to come!
