The origins of 60327

Ooh one of our earliest family sets, and first time I’d seen a curved piece like that — never mind it having stickers!

It was satisfying to complete this one.

IMHO 7635 is significantly better than 60327. The truck in 60327 is just appalling - what's with those wheels?

I'm not sure how I feel about them using1x2 tiles on the filler assembly on horses' backs instead of 1x2 plates. It does look nice, but it also gives them a bit of a dimple on their sides, and doesn't allow for bareback riding.

@MeisterDad: I left the rear license plate sticker off of mine, because that curved piece was new at the time, and I might want to re-use it somewhere. No-one tell the Lego City police!

There is also the original 6359, but I admit, six stud 7635 is siginificantly better at everything. That SUV is definitely a Range Rover.

Getting strong A-Team vibes from that 4x4

Arrghh!! Their hands are upside down!

and also 6405 , a (near?) identical one also is part of 6419

They've done other Range Rovers based on this design but they've all been worse.

Agreed. The SUV in the RSotD is a right piece of work. The newer one looks silly by comparison.

Same with the trailer. The older one has loads more detail. The newer trailer lacks any rear reflectors. That poor horse is going to get rear-ended!

(Neigh!! Snort!)

In fact, the only thing better about the newer version is the horse.

That's how minifigs lay down sum skin, Daddio. Gimmie five!

Unfortunately, wrist-injuries are not uncommon in equestrian sports. Especially arm-wrestling. Horses are pretty strong, man.

I've got nothing bad to say, this set looks like a winner, I've just always been too consumed with whatever Star Wars has done to really care at all about what City's doing.

One of my first sets

Got this one on clearance, a solid set. Does everything that it sets out to do really well.

I got this set from my dad after getting shot when I was 5.

It's a good set, but I really think you should have sued for more.

"Great set. City in ca 2007-2011 was doing something quite well and that was playability. The sets were also starting to look finished and the subject matter was becoming diverse while still sticking to the core theme of 'City' (looking at you, Volcano Exploration). Unfortunately that meant 96% was vehicles, but at least they were often good for the time. And in this case, just good in general.

You WHAT!?"

Maybe he mean injection.

That doesn’t always work out so well. I briefly worked with someone who, from what I heard, got shot and blinded in one eye as a kid, got a huge settlement that came with an annuity, used some of the money to, uh, “rent” a date, and got something that doesn’t ever clear up."

This has been an exceptionally informative edition of Brickset Comments, but even though we've learned that apparently Polish toddlers are so incredibly hardcore that they'll take a bullet for a good set, I just don't think their fathers would then also take them to a brothel. Surely, the infirmary first, then see where the evening takes you.
