TheOrcKing Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 For anyone curious about what the set looks like when built then here is a review of the current little freebie. Quote
chinchy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but when every time I look at those "balloons", the first thing that comes to mind is Charms Blow Pops.. 2 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but when every time I look at those "balloons", the first thing that comes to mind is Charms Blow Pops..It isn't just you. I thought they looked like Blow Pops too. Quote
chinchy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 You know, this set could pair with more than just the Fairground Mixer. For example, you could probably also pull off the top half of the balloons, and then pair the balloon cart with the Flying Flusher, and it's now a plunger cart... 2 Quote
marcandre Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 That kid looks demented. A tad bit too happy with that giant smile. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Am I the only one that looks at the balloon cart seller guy and thinks "pedofile"? Quote
marcandre Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 My high school sold blow pops in the cafeteria and we were allowed to suck on them during class. I think the money supported the athletics so the word went down to the teachers to allow it. Loved it then but seems pretty sketchy now. Quote
naf Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 That kid looks demented. A tad bit too happy with that giant smile. I agree. I'm not a fan of that style of mouth on some of the minifig faces. I wish they'd stick to a simple line - less is more! Quote
Veegs Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 That kid looks demented. A tad bit too happy with that giant smile. I wish I were that happy about anything in my life...let alone a simple balloon... Quote
beeblet65 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I actually use this on the street of my modular town. The reason is because it does not have that "minimalist" look that the other creator or city mini sets have, for what it is, it is quite detailed. I also have the hot dog card out as well for the same reason Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Kids do get this excited about balloons. I don't why though. My high school sold blow pops in the cafeteria and we were allowed to suck on them during class. I think the money supported the athletics so the word went down to the teachers to allow it. Loved it then but seems pretty sketchy now. I think there are sketchier things that some teachers do with "suckers". Quote
Kriterian Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I agree. I'm not a fan of that style of mouth on some of the minifig faces. I wish they'd stick to a simple line - less is more! Just think of it as the "I'm-going-to-get-a-lollipop-that's-bigger-than-my-torso" smile. Quote
wholovesboo Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Those balloons look like something two kids would use to bop each other on the head. Also, dangnabbit, I just realized I missed this promotion. Quote

asharerin Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 It was until the 15th for the USA but they extended it until the 22nd. May get another bump until the end of the month like the rest of the world. Not many resellers stockpiling orders anymore lol. 1 Quote

Hmmm...what are the chances then of this poly showing up at TRU or Walmart in 3 months' time? Paying $4.99 would sure beat paying $75! Quote
