tswern ,

yeah, the plumes...that word seems to evade me every time...

anyhoo...i will def get the set back from my gf cos shes renewing my love for lego for me at the momment!

bsides the eldorado, i also have the 6267-lagoon lock-up and the 6265-Sabre Island (Governors Bastion).

these r extremely fun and im only missing the clipper really to make a kickass dio...sad.gif

the ikea detolf is a fan fav when it comes to displaying their collection, though their a bit small and would probably fit a lego city police headquarters only (rough idea for u:)

Hi everyone

We have bought this Police Station for our 5yo last week.
#7744

Is there anyone can tell me :  How have you benefited to grow up with Lego in your childhood/teenage? My husband and I did not have such a luxury during our childhood, but I know many would have. When we were shopping something for our child last week, a young 20 guy with his big earphone on his neck came to talk to us while we are choosing between this Police station and #7945 the Fire Station, he gave us a good insight on why would he choose #7744 if he was us smile.gif

I enjoyed his sharing and wish my boy grows up to be someone like him being excel in arts and have a good sense of humor.

Any of your sharing for your joy with Lego is very much appreciated smile.gif

Regards ~~ Now i've got to complete the 3rd part of the prison for him, before he comes home from school tongue.gif

whoa, this is a real cool set. i have everything else in the lego city police set excluding this one:(
ur child is really fortunate to have cool parents such as u:)

for me, i think growing up with or without the influence of lego is the same, cos ive got frens that didnt play with lego but just as creative and funny as me (or so i think tongue.gif). maybe it promotes growth and deelopment of a young persons mind to a certain extent, i dont knoe cos im not an expert....

great stuff lego!

Cool, POLIS! I wont say all Lego fans would be creative or good sense of humor, but i think it somehow helps to have a creative mind.  I wont compare ppl by what they played in childhood. I would expect Lego fans here would tell me how much they ve been enjoying to play Lego and how they could live without it tongue.gif

So, you are a big fans for Lego Police collections?! Do you have pictures to share? My son loves Police series a lot too, and his school is having a theme for JOBs so he is obsessed about it.  (oh god... r u in the age of my son?! -- biggrin.gif Kidding)

well, im not really a huge fan of the police line-up per se, but after completing the lego city fire brigade line (not really complete, im missing the helicopter and the hovercraft which is hard to find these days), i decided to help my gf collect the police line...

were doin fine, but we're missing the police boat and the police headquarters....hehehhehe. my gf and i will have problems attaining these sets cos the police patrol boat is discontinued, and the headquaters is rm600:(

pictures will have to wait, cos most of my collection is wif my gf...ill try and share those wif u guys asap...
