ufema Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Lots of cool features in this set. The ship even includes a sleeping quarters. I love that the captain comes with a cup of coffee. Take a look. 7 Quote

MartinP Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Awesome video!! Lots of playability and I definitely want this set for my collection. Quote
gregpj Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I love the new arctic sets... Not sure how they'll fit into our city yet, but there has to be a way. Any plans on reviewing/building the base camp set? Quote
legodelorean Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 The boat floats too. Time to take it in the tub for bath time! Whoo hoo!!!! Quote

ufema Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 Nice. I have been enjoying your videos. A minor typo I noticed in the video description: "As of right now, the largest or the Lego City Arctic sets..." Thank you so much for letting me know. I'm making the change right now. Quote
inversion Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Not sure how they'll fit into our city yet, but there has to be a way. The LEGO City line nowadays is about normal human activities under which I mean no fantasy or sci-fi stuff. Mining, expeditions, farming, trading, space research etc., not just the usual police-fire brigade stuff or being limited to an actual "city" setting. Another theme for these would be too much. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 First thing came to mind at The Unboxing stage was "How many more manuals is he going to whip out?". It certainly looks like a fun build and I just had to satiate my desire for these northern explorers by purchasing the smallest set for myself. I might open it tonight just to build something. I get antsy when I can't get a moment to create for a while. 1 Quote

biniou Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 The crew is really cool ! How did you managed to make the propeller to turn at 3'28" ? Maybe with a vacuum cleaner or an hairdryer ? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Don't we all? Indeed. "Occasional entertainment of one's inner child is a necessity for keeping thy beast of restlessness within from emerging."....Or something like that. How did you managed to make the propeller to turn at 3'28" ? Maybe with a vacuum cleaner or an hairdryer ?Maybe off camera, he just blew the propeller really hard. Haha. Quote
ufema Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 The crew is really cool ! How did you managed to make the propeller to turn at 3'28" ? Maybe with a vacuum cleaner or an hairdryer ? I spin it with my finger and record till it the propeller stops. I then play it back in reverse. Quote

ufema Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 The boat floats too. Time to take it in the tub for bath time! Whoo hoo!!!! I've never actually tested a lego boat out. I'm sure it will float with no problem, but lego pieces breaking off in the tub. Not sure if I'm a fan of allowing my kids to do that. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Lol I already spend too much time with Legos. Don't need them while I bathe. Quote
Jules_K Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 What are peoples thoughts on this set once it retires? I expect all arctic sets will be gone by year end and I think this is the best of the bunch. Quote
trekgate502 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 What are peoples thoughts on this set once it retires? I expect all arctic sets will be gone by year end and I think this is the best of the bunch.I love this set. I have 5 of everything in the Arctic line long term but my favorite is the Icebreaker and I may add more of it.Its a phenomenal ship. Did I say I like it? I really think its a winner. Unbelievable returns? No Solid Returns? Yes Quote
