About this deal

Creator Expert trains are among the most sought after and expensive sets on the secondary market so, with a seemingly obvious demand for them, it's perhaps surprising that LEGO makes so few of them. The release of 10277 Crocodile Locomotive, seven years after the last one, is thus long overdue.

Many modern Lego instructions include a part list at the end of the booklet. In the case of multiple booklets the list might be found in the middle of the PDF. Overall, a worthy addition to LEGO's loco shed and one that will undoubtedly be highly sought-after and revered long after its retirement. Richard Stollery (1 October 2007).

To be fair, and I'm not saying that it never happens, but on a few occasions that I am aware of, TLG was already working on a similar set on its own before the corresponding Ideas submission, and consequently doesn't approve it in the review stage. Chances are good that this specific set was already worked on in 2017. PU is far from superior, I've got both. The power stepping is a bit more drastic with the PU. I know PF costs are all over the place now but if you can get it cheaper than the crazy expensive PU you'd be better off. Maybe you've already seen, but the general consensus seems to be it's a lot cheaper to build the EN in a different color. Actually the official name of the colour was "ozeanblau" (plus accents in "creme/Elfenbein" which was sort of a mixture between tan and light yellow), a colour not found in the LEGO range of colours. The next best thing would be dark blue.

I'm just surprised that Lego has decided on this particular locomotive as the "next big thing" . While it's appealing to the European market, an American or a Chinese train might have been a better money maker." In continental Europe this loco is very well known and regarded as iconic. From my point of view a good Choice!" But I wish they'd so something similar - an 'mini' Emerald Night. Call it the Emerald Dawn. Perhaps a 1-2-1 version, no coal tender. (Buy 2 to get enough parts for an EN). Carriages different, but matching. It doesn't appeal to me as I'm only a Lego train person not an expert but I see the appeal to some people.

The set, the latest in LEGO's new 'Adults Welcome' 18+ series, comes in a box that certainly has a very mature feel to it, almost to the point of looking drab. I'm not sure that visitors to a LEGO store who are not specifically looking for it would be attracted to it, to be honest. Hmm still looks ugly for a train , why not Puffing Billy From Melb Australia , it would look fantastic as a display piece with a bridge and a bit of forest Look, the simple fact of the matter is: pretty as the Emerald Night may be, it isn't a particularly good representation of a steam locomotive. Just because it's better than the outright swill that Lego typically passes off for steam engines doesn't make it good in general - just in a relative sense. Given the price tag attached even when it was new, I took one look at the thing and started giggling. But I guess people are enamored of bright colors or something. I had to make my own half-wide Technic 13L beams. What's that saying, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself?

Much has been said about the brown livery and whether it's a bit drab. I thought it might have been, too, but now having built and displayed it, I think it looks excellent: subdued and sophisticated. That would preserve the EN second hand market, let people by their own, and allow the rest of us to get more carriages! The centre section of the locomotive, constructed first, is nominally 6-wide but tiles attached to the sides make it more like 7-wide. The decorated tiles, and the tile/clip piece between the wheels, are all printed

I have a Lego Creator 3in1 set, where can I find the instructions for the alternative models? Verified
