I picked up a copy of 7197 Venice Canal Chase and actually built the whole thing. There's a TwinLUG meeting coming up this coming weekend and I can bring it to that. I don't have too much built to bring. I don't even remember the scene with the boats from the movie. I guess that means that I should watch it again. It's been a couple of years or more since I watched the first three. Now I can watch all 4 of them in a row.
I liked the set for the figures. I'm working on something that needs some older style suits. This will help a lot. The Elsa figure has a nice torso and the hair is great but that face is kind of creepy. Maybe it's the eyes. The grail guardian and Kazim are much better looking minifigs, and I really want their suits. The fez's are cool but not for what I'm working on. Something will turn up. There are a lot of good pieces in the set in some good colors. Once I dismantle the boats I'll sort them into my stock.
The boats are kind of neat. Both have some sort of action. One boat breaks in two and the other take a "hit" and the motor explodes blowing off the top of the boat. There's a third bit of action as part of the dock flies into the air. Fun for someone. Me? I'm just going to take them apart before they collect so much dust they aren't recognizable. I'll put those minifigs to work.
