Lego Pinball Machine Version 1 On Its Way!

Its has been a while since my last creation which was Lego Coin Bank V2. I decided to change things a little bit and I am currently building a new machine. This pinball machine consists of a regular candy machine mechanism to dispense the balls for gameplay. Its not an old boring pinball machine without a reward. Even though its the first version, I thought of adding a reward system where when the ball gets into the hole, the player will receive a prize which I have not decided yet. The prize will probably be twice the money you will be paying to play the game. So if you put 1 dollar to get the marbles from the dispenser and make it into the hole, you will get 2 dollars back. It is up to you what to do with the money but why not play some more? So far the machine is about 25-30% complete because there are a lot more details I will have to consider to make an interesting machine. The machine does niot have any Mindstorms or Power Functions to power the machine. I really like how I did the "WIN" and "$" signs because they really stand out well. Here are some pictures of the progress and the things I still need to work on. Below there is a preview in different angles of the amazing machine:

Lego Exclusive: Horizon Express Kit

This is one of my favorite Lego Exclusive sets. The Horizon Express is the best train set Lego has produced so far. Set number 5003540 the Horizon Express is recommended for ages 14+ and comes with 1351 pieces. The set retails for $253.49 and currently is out of stock but is expected to ship January 25th. As far as the minifigures, for the time Lego has put a female operator in the train. Also the train comes with lots of cool details such as an economy class and a first class kind of thing. Also it includes a lot of techniques such as Lego built arrows instead of stickers. Also if you are not a Lego train fan then you could still buy this set because it comes with a lot of Power Functions. That is the main reason why the price is high for the amount of pieces. Lego has created a great scene with a couple having a romantic time in the train while there is good service provided by the waiter in the train. Lego has been trying to put more female characters in their Lego sets for the past few years and this can be seen in this Exclusive and a must have train for your city.

Lego Maersk Line Triple-E: Welcome 2014!

Everyone is waiting for this set so here is the first good news of the year. The Maersk Line Triple-E set will come out on January 1st as an exclusive set. Set number 10241 the Maersk Line contains 1518 pieces. It will cost $149.99. It contains a lot of details such as a lucky charm coin which turns out that Maersk ships do have one of these on every ship. Also the Maersk containers are removable to help move them around. Apparently this does not come with any minifigures probably because it is not at the scale but you can definitely put this in your city or just for display. It has very nice engine detail which can be seen with a transparent glass piece or if you move two sets of Maersk containers. It comes with a stand with some information about the ship. There are two propellers and two rudders but unfortunately it does not float unless you put it into your bathtub or something like that. Overall I would like to have this set because it would go great with the Maersk train in a Lego city and create a great scene. 

Happy New Year!
