I messed up a little with the beak
looks more like a penguin
I don't post my own builds here because muh opsec and such. Most people don't do digital building.
Sunroof on that Lifeguard Truck? Nice! Also I like the F1 minifigs, not really a fan of the Speed Champions ones though, but I get why they “recoloured” them since they wanted to be as accurate as possible to the real cars (the design is the same for every car because of aerodynamics) Although, they kinda butchered the colours. For example, the Aston Martin car in real life is a darker turquoise with a shiny coat, while the LEGO one is uhhh grass green?
Lego's kinda always been a thing for anyone. One of the funnier memories I've had from back in the day is a secondhand retelling in like highschool or some shit by some female classmate about how them and some other person from class found their old lego bin and made a lego hitler mini figure. This was way over a decade back now, god damn.
Those are from the Paradisa subtheme. They're expensive now because the line introduced a lot of new colors for the early-mid 90s, as well as rare parts. And it's just a really cool theme and is widely considered to be one of the best subthemes Lego has ever made which adds to the value. I wouldn't say sets are prohibitively expensive though, but I already have all the Paradisa sets.
I've never understood the reverence for Paradisa. There have been many better seaside sets since, both in execution and concept. The 2011 Marina is a classic, and by the way, just looking at it now, it looks dated and retro, like how a ~2002 set looked in 2011. I remember when it was mind-blowing lol; in 10 years we'll probably think the current dustcollector diorama sets look dated. You will see the tears of time, I guess.
I guess with the success of Lego friends and now the flower theme, it's drawing them in as well.
Playmobil isn't the same thing as LEGO, it's mostly stylized little playsets instead of blocks you can make little playsets out of. Still it's well known and liked for obvious reasons involving quality.
I remember having one very similar, but it was related to something about firefighters. EDIT: It was the one in the second image lol.
Bro I have that one in a tupperware box somewhere, fully complete. That command center rig was fucking awesome and chonkyLike compare it to other sets from the time period, seriously. It's a weird spot where there was acombo of cost cutting and price bumping but also still complex or cool models sometimes.
I don't think it was this specific set the parts were from but the playset type ones both me and some friends owned back in the day had modular rocks and shit you could connect in various ways kind of like lego but not lego. These rocks came in a lot of playmobil sets but these are the only ones I can find a good reference image of.
Aw man, I think I had some of these myself! I know I had the hospital, the police station (in the same style as the bank), a bunch of little furniture sets (I especially remember one with a green bed -- I still have the mom figure from that set), and something related to animals. Playmobil was kino, though not as engaging as Lego.
SNCA award; at least post funny tranny gossip or make fun of Jang being schizo if you're going to talk about ecelebs.
Playmobile is like when eurpos pretend Amigas and their other freakshow systems count as "video game consoles"
