Those minifigs are NOT cool.

"Tina, you fat lard, come get some ham!"

Petting sheep, vehicles with Big yellow wheels, almost like LEGO Fortnite, except they actually have steering wheels in this set, not in the game (yet)

Ooh, ooh, I have an idea! How about "no"?

Technically, Jack Stone was a replacement for Town. This is Creator, so entirely different theme.

Definitely the duckbilled platypus days.

"one of 22 Creator sets produced that year" .. and the other 21 aren't much better
(although one of them is 4177, building stories with Nana Bird, which had a weird animated video that went with it)

4119 was good

I suppose dragons could technically count as transportation but none of those figs look like they’re Targaryens so I’d be careful if I were them

It's fun o see the origins of the creator line: It was another reboot of Basic.

Ooh, fun AND cool?? How could I resist!

That white printed post box is quite rare?

I'm not sure about the fun and cool means of transport, but I can see chrome pieces, and printed bricks and slopes, which are never a bad thing.

I didn't have an issue with the figs, they were practical for constantly playing a lot with them. We didn't have too many sets and this one gave me some great memories - it was indeed fun AND cool."

I never had this set, but I did get about 7 Jack Stone figures from toothbrushes back in the day. I remember the lack of wrist movement and the presence of noses bothered me, but I still had a lot of fun with them. I was a whole lot less picky than I am now since they were some of my first figures.

@Fred157 comments like yours are why I like the RSotD. No matter from what era, for each random set there's at least one person out there who grew up with it, and that's always nice to read and to be reminded of.

A lovely if biased sentiment, but all the same, I'm incredibly grateful for 2003's hard 'Jaxit'.

What do you mean? This type of figure still appeared in 2004 with the 4+ Pirates line and the Spider-Man 2 and 4+ (theme) lines. The latter even had the infamous man Jack Stone himself appear. So when 2003 ended we weren't safe just yet!
Although I must admit I'm grateful they're a thing of the past too XD

“I can transport you anywhere you’d like, as long as that place is in my babies’ belleh's!”

@PhantomBricks:
Fun is subjective. Guy on the next street over from where I grew up would have had lots of fun, just like he did with all the action figures he’d played with when he was young. Fun would have involved BB and pellet guns, firecrackers, and possibly an M80 if he could get his hands on one. Not so much fun for Max and Tina.

Of course through the lense of what we have today, I'm just purely nostalgic for this set, I don't consider it too cool anymore (sadly haha).

I very much appreciate the detail and selection we have lately, just wish there was more of castle brought back - all the modern castle lines were in my dark ages.

So you actually knew Sid Phillips before Woody got to him.

This set is really Fun and Cool.

Explains the times he talked about his Pizza Planet Truck MOC

Which one? I’ve got four, so far.

We have all had 'bad' days when our car has broken down, but a plane crashing into the pick-up truck is a new downer.

Yeah, not Lego's greatest moment. However, I must admit I actually own this set. It popped up on eBay a year or two ago for $9.99 in very good shape, and at less than 2 cents per piece I figured it was worth it. The blue, old gray, and trans 1x1 cylinders came in very handy for completing old classic space sets I'd been collecting; the green bricks were very useful for extending a classic castle set's grounds; the many 2x bricks were great filler as hidden structure/supports and so on; I sold the old-gray chain part and the trees for a combined total of a few bucks in my Bricklink store, recouping about 30-40% of the purchase price; and the chrome parts are pretty unique. All in all, it's served me very well and has proven quite economical.

Did Meme Man name this set?

Hey, good parts are good parts, no matter how bad the set they came in was.
