Day 194, 26/08/2013:
I was looking over my backlog of Lego sets that are no longer available at stores that I’d like to buy, and decided to get several smaller, cheaper sets. Considering the developing nature of my Lego City city, I figured the following sets would be good to have around as I built the city. The 2008 5610 Builder should ensure buildings get built properly:

Nothing much to it but would look great at a construction site or on the side of the road working “hard” like real council workers.

I’ve already planned the placement for the shop front from the 2010 7848 Toys R Us City Truck set and wanted to have a large dumpster to the side. I was going to make one when I stumbled upon the 2008 5611 Public Works set:

Admittedly, the dumpsters quite small and bright orange but I can easily put this somewhere else (like a park or a camping area) and just design my own one! \o/ And the back shows the guy takin’ out the trash (aw yeah):

And of course, can’t go digging stuff without the classic 2005 7246 Mini Digger:

This has to be the oldest set I have (2005) and was released as the first Lego City sets back in 2005. With 2015 around the corner, it won’t be long before Lego City celebrates it’s 10th-year anniversary! Whilst I already have several construction sets from 2012, this was a different design and thought it would be nice to add to the collection.

The box designs from 2005 haven’t really changed much, though it is missing Mr “Hey!” on the back.
