Wow! It's taller than it looked in the leaked photos!!
Re: Official Press Release: #10247 Ferris Wheel LEGO Creator
The fact that it is powered by actual tires on the frame is a wonderfully authentic detail I think. Was not expecting that, but its very nice.

It is amazing. I really like it. However, I don't think I will get it because I have other big expensive sets on mind.
Lego has to take it easy a little. I can't keep up with them with all these new sets they made.

The prices didn't surprise me until I looked at the specs more closely and realized it doesn't include any power functions parts.

Nice but not worth the price. Something about the skeletal bare bones frame being multi-coloured makes it look like a K'nex set ferris wheel to me.
Re: Official Press Release: #10247 Ferris Wheel LEGO Creator
I'm on the fence... I had the first Creator Ferris Wheel, and was micro style, but still big. I didn't like how if you didn't have a tight rubber band, the wheel wouldn't go around.
This one looks superior in many aspects, and I really like it. The price tag is reasonable, but considering I had the previous version and got rid of it... I'd probably end up getting rid of this one too.

I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.
