Colby City Showdown

I suggest this set to kids that are wanting to build a western town. This is a great start. The bank has a little office divider, although there is no office beyond the divider. There are very nice dynamite features like the prison, a falling light, and a window piece in the bank that has a locker full of goods. Inside the bank, there are doors that open to the goods. The sheriff's office has a chair & table, a mug and desk, handcuffs, a rifle and a key with an exploding jail cell. It has five mini figs including Dan Reid, Frank,Rey, Tonto, and ofcourse The Lone Ranger. This set is a thumbs up. more less

In terms of parts, this is a good set, in terms of minifigs, it's average (the three good generics offset by another set of LR and Tonto), and in term of obscure western references, lame jokes, and Magic Mike jokes, this thing is absolutely a knockout. On sale, it has decent value. more less

Another pretty good model then, in the Lone Ranger theme. It may not be quite as compelling as the others because, although three of the minifigs are unique to this set (I believe), they are not particularly interesting. But it's an attractive set that offers many play possibilities. more less

All in all, it's a very solid set. It doesn't strike my fancy as much as the delightfully-oversized Stagecoach Escape did, but this is definitely not a filler set, and it looks ripe for customization by adding your own buildings to make a complete boardwalk. more less
