10244 LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer 1,746 pieces

A fun set to put together, not too many repetitive steps. The end product is entertaining, and aesthetically pleasing. The set is well thought out, and the parts fold up or store nicely. The collection of minifigs that come with the set are nice and diverse, and somewhat comical. Due to the nature of the moving parts, the actual ride is a bit flimsy in spots. I found that two hands (one on the crank and one of the gearbox) worked best in stabilizing the movement of the ride; because of this I would recommend fixing the crank/gearbox to a base.The Mixer would be a nice addition to any town! The ride is very colorful, and pops out. The glow in the dark parts make for a neat nighttime effect.

The fairground Mixer is very amazingly designed for a set with under 2000 pieces. This build was really fun and I really liked the finished product.The two trucks were very well designed, to store more things, and they to use very useful pices. I love the blue truck on how it could put the "strongman" inside the bottom of the truck.I love the dunk tank, but I sometimes dosen't work well. The ticket stand design was pretty neat, but I like the "strongman" over all booths.The mixer is REALLY big. So big that the truck is really hard to turn. The mixer is a little bit annoying to set up, but the rotating works REALLY well, and It's really fun to spin. Twelve seats on the mixer was a good amount of seats and loading and unloading customers was really easy. I love how ... MoreThe fairground Mixer is very amazingly designed for a set with under 2000 pieces.

Twelve seats on the mixer was a good amount of seats and loading and unloading customers was really easy. I love how some pieces will glow in the dark, and the circular glowing fence, looks amazing in th dark. How the mixer fits onto a truck is a really amazing feature.There is a lot to play with in this set, but every set has it's flaws. I don't like how the dunk tank's target is still poking out from the side of the truck. There should be a way to fold that up. I also don't like how they stuck on the wheels. They get really lose when you move the truck around, and sometimes they fall off. They should put something to secure it like the MINI Copper.Over all, I liked the set. It was really amazing, and I would strongly recomend it to Lego fans out there. Enjoy!

What a fun build this was, and the result is breath-taking! I'm not very used to building with technic parts, so that was a bit challenging for me personally. The detail of this Lego set is astonishing and there's an abundance of minifigures to go with it. Three of the minifigures have two faces, which was a really happy surprise for me. I just love the glow-in-the-dark pieces and I wish there had been more than one extra of those round flat plates, so that I could've lit up some of my other Lego sets.The only problem I have with this set is its sheer size. The mixer truck and trailer are so high, so wide and so long that my Lego trains look small compared to them. At the moment, they won't fit my Lego City that mainly consists of modular buildings, such as the ... MoreWhat a fun build this was, and the result is breath-taking!

At the moment, they won't fit my Lego City that mainly consists of modular buildings, such as the Parisian Restaurant and Grand Emporium.I'd have given this set 10 out of 5 if that was possible.
