Aqui está mais um fresquinho conjunto LEGO Disney e apesar da minha continuada aversão a sets licenciados, não é que está realmente bonito? Claro que isto me faz perguntar se havia a necessidade de ser "Disney" já que retirando as minifigs, alguns autocolantes e um pormenor ou outro, teríamos na mesma um conjunto bonito.

Bem, de qualquer forma fica aqui o habitual press release:

É inegável, o conjunto é mesmo bonito e tem pormenores bem interessantes, só me pergunto se não haveria forma de fechar a estação sem estourar com o budget. 

A, pelo menos a minha, atenção centra-se logo na estação e nas cores do telhado. Pelo aspecto geral deve haver gente a pensar logo em comprar várias unidades para fazer uma estação com uma escala mais aceitável. Mas a fachada esconde interiores também bastante interessantes com alguns pormenores bem esgalhados. Não sei se a presença de miniaturas de comboios (e logo dois) será demasiado recorrente, mas de qualquer forma estão também bonitos.

Não sou de todo um trainheader, mas aquele comboio com umas ligeiras alterações e ficaria um mimo num display western. Bem, a estação com adaptações também não ficaria mal!

Sim, também tem o Mickey, a Minie, o Pateta e o Tico e o Teco, mas mesmo tendo lido imensas revistas Disney da Abril e da Morumbi na minha infância, não consigo gostar deles.
