I just got this set. It's a simple one but I really like it. From my side I've made 2 modifications till now. First I've exchanged the links between the wagons with "train" magnets. They are black and looks very nice in comparison to the original light gray connections. Second mod is the front windows of each end sections (tram driver cab). Instead of slopping them inwards like Lego did, I kept them straight and added an extra transparent curved window. This way it closes the original gap between the windows and the tram walls and still look good. Your idea of lowering the floor of each wagon is great!
Interesting that Lego have gone back to using metal axles with their train wheels as they did before 2019. They are so much better than the version with plastic pins that they tried in a few sets (part 38340) in terms of running true and with lower rolling resistance.
I really love the set, it has all it needs to be a city metro/tram, even if it doesn't come with a full circle of track. You still get platforms which is awesome. But I would have liked 2 of the ramp in the set. So you can indeed have 2 stations instead of just 1 and a spare. I hope, and I really do, that we get a new grand station. But lego is not keen on doing stations all that often. And I wouldn't mind if we get another one of these but perhaps in a different color next year to increase your metro/tram fleet. Perhaps with a set of platforms again in the same fasion so you can mix and match. I love public transport in Lego. And these lower cost tram sets really are great. It makes something on track more accessible for more kids!
@2:05 Its a great point of they could have just save the print instruction but I do also have my guess its for those wants have more people or helping hand to build the other car at their own pace
been waiting a bit for a review on this one. looks great overall build wise but the gap between the cars is unacceptable. a 3L technic lift arm would have been more than enough even though it would still need some modification to look halfway decent
lol, just bought the set along with the Camaro off of Amazon. Getting it Saturday. Sadly couldn’t get the F40 because of how Amazon was being so I’ll get it from Walmart
The multiple instruction booklets are so it can be built by multiple people. Think: kids or siblings or parents and children building together. It’s like Lego content creators forget these are KIDS TOYS!!
Me too, I'm getting a second one. But I hope we get a different one a year or 2 from now with the same platform connections. So you can mix and match. They could even give us a grand metro station. That has the connections too. So you can make it bigger or take it apart. Having a bike rental shop and perhaps a flower shop. But you can take it apart. And reconfigure.
Love the set (except the price point) and glad that we get more rail related stuff. But one thing bugs me, and this is concerning all of freinds and City. You got a dozen sets with disabled minifigs but not a single one with a baby car. Have lived in many cities and the number of babys in streetcars massivly outnumber the wheelchairs. If I buy this set, I will bump up the station one brick in height, so it is really accesible
0:38 that looks like the old lego trucks with the metal axles? is that true? i thought lego switched to plastic wheels years ago 1:25 it indeed IS the metal axles! are they bringing them back because people didnt like the new plastic ones?
I believe the main reason could be that the plastic ones are simply bad. Dirt gets the easily clogged and stuck. Iron ones have far less issue with it. I got older trains and they have iron they are in my opinion better. Much better.
I was super close to deciding to buy this, but i saw a lego technic space set for around the same price and i was like: yh scrap that im going for the technic

Nice mods!
Love this set (except the price)! Hopefully lego releases some expansions to this set like extra cars , plattforms, etc

@@GodmanchesterGoblin It’s very fun rolling it around by hand! Sometimes it just rolled off my table unintentionally. Thanks for the history tidbit!
metal axles really make a difference. The plastic ones risk much more getting clogged with dirt.

This is a really good vid. 😊😊 You are talented at reviewing lego sets😮😊
The Batman scene made me laugh😂
Gotta love that scene!
mee to 😂

Great video. Thank you.
it's finally here

You’re right! I don’t build trains often, but the gap is pretty significant!
The cars look great, however i feel like the magnet train couplers would have been better for the set and as a train building parts pack.
Magnets would be better!
I agree that it would look better, but would they still turn right? The cars are stuck on a straight piece. And not turning like on bigger cars.

I like the design

Great video for a great set❤
Thank you 🤗
Thanks.
Personally i plan on buying 2 of that streetcar for my Lego city to use it as a metro train

@@dgray3771 that would be great to purchase when it comes out
i want this really bad

Good video
very good video 📹 👍 👌
5 days and still not delivered, almost like Lego go slow on standard delivery to force people to pay for express delivery.
I saw this set one day before it released at my local target, but I got the new excavator instead
That departures sign… I don’t think it’s appropriate from a streetcar/tram stop
This Lego set looks very good by the way I changed my profile form the coca cola to this cat just saying so you remember me.
Thanks for letting me know! Love the 🐈!
how would you recommend that I motorize it?
Hmm, I haven’t gotten to that yet, but may need to give it a try. I was having so much fun rolling it around manually on the track!
@@thegreenbrick I was thinking originally about using a powered up motor as a Jacobs bogie... do you think that'll work?
i dont need it i dont need it IIIIIIIIIIIIIII NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT
