We’re up to round 5 here. I think Bricklink needs to slow these down a bit. We haven’t shipped round 1 and we’re already voting on round 5. Maybe if they did fewer rounds we could keep up with these better? Or maybe Bricklink needs to do this many because it takes so long to develop the sets?
Either way, round 5 was released for voting. You can vote here until 14 June 2024. As with the past four rounds, I selected five that I liked. I will be honest and say that I wasn’t too impressed with this round. There were a lot of castle, pirate sets, and modular type buildings. I was hoping to see something different out there. Here are my thoughts (which include some repeats from past rounds):
Up first is Biplane 2.1 which contains 2,743 pieces by EmanueLego. This isn’t the first time I’m recommending a biplane by this builder. The design looks similar, but this one has some different colors with some flames. It also includes some smaller biplanes to go with it. I don’t have high hopes that we’ll see this one go through, but I think a biplane would go good with my Concorde.
Farm Life contains 2,877 Pieces by builder FNeuwald. We have had CITY farm sets in the past, but this is a bit of a larger set. It’s not a giant farm, but it’s a good start if you’re looking to build a larger farm MOC. Plus you’d get some additional animals which is cool. It’s a bit compact and the farm house is a little small, but it works.
Harbor contains 2,642 pieces and is by user Anast55. This one is cool with some trucks, trains, and boats to move cargo. The crane looks interesting, but I’ll be curious to see how it works. Also the cargo ship is rather small. Maybe the upcoming CITY cargo set will go along with this set? We’ll have to see if this gets voted in and how the final design would end up.
Inverted Corner Building contains 2,496 pieces and is by user Rexkeks. I think the design could use some additional work, but I like the concept of an inverted corner. It could be a cool addition to the modular building line and to a lot of LEGO cities.
Last up is the Popcorn Wagon with 577 pieces by user Mictur. This is a fun smaller set to go in a city and at 577 pieces it hopefully won’t strain our wallets too bad. I’d like to see this one get into the mix.
