Day 104, 28/05/2013:
I keep telling myself to not check out places like Brickset, eBay or even retail stores like John Lewis or Myer if I know I’m not supposed to spend money because it’s almost guaranteed that I’ll find something I’ll want to buy. So colour me not surprised when I found something I had to get whilst perusing eBay for baseplates for the town: the 2012 Creator 40025 New York Taxi and 40026 Statue of Liberty.

I wanted the taxi more than the Statue of Liberty given the car is technically to scale and can easily fit into the city; the statue’s gonna be hard to place without looking odd however. Judging by the picture of the taxi, I’m not even sure you can fit a passenger to taxi about, never mind the driver him/herself…

As it always goes, this was only offered in the US, and only at specific retail stores for a short period of time. I sometimes wonder if Lego actually wants to sell some of their sets, otherwise why would they create a reseller marketplace that they gain little from?
