The fair looks pretty cool! Why would you want to mix it?

Part of me wanted this set because of the glow in the dark pieces, but for what was there, it wouldn't have been worth it. Not saying the other pieces wouldn't have been nice, but I think I've built maybe one thing with pieces that glow in the dark and it be important to the build, so it's unlikely I would have used these parts. At the same time, having more of those parts would make using glow in the dark pieces easier to use. Ironic...

I've built three Beholders with GitD eyes. One regular Zombeholder, one baby Zombeholder, and a Cave Beholder with a giant main eye. I also did GitD eyes on I Am...Batmobile! I think I built something using GitD Bohrok eyes 20 years ago, but I can't remember what.

I had to check the minifigure listing to see if Bricklink/Brickset considered that one minifigures stilts part of the minifig. Sadly, the answer is no.

The glow in the dark stars were one major reason I got 60341. Another reason is that I found it on clearance.

Oddly enough BL does list tlm29 Lord Business with his partial stilts as a minifigure. I don't understand their logic sometimes.

One of my early eBay buys in 2017 for £160 after leaving my dark age. Still yet to build it!

I still haven’t understood the name of this set. It’s just never made sense to me.

I have this set, and it's just stupidly good. Not only do you get a ton of minifigs, a bunch of attractions, and the huge sprawling mixer ride, but the way everything can collapse neatly into just two trucks is incredible.

I've heard that this set is basically to Jamie Berard what Benny's spaceship is in The Lego Movie; apparently it became a running joke in brainstorming sessions that he would always immediately suggest a funfair set. When he finally got the greenlight for the Fairground Mixer, he was told to just do whatever he wanted. That passion definitely shows!

I can only assume you've never seen one in action. As the three arms rotate around the central core, it causes the seating clusters to rotate around the Technic axles they're suspended from. This causes the entire structure to look vaguely like a handheld kitchen mixer.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of people for a 'mixer', fairground or otherwise...:)
Also: Is that kid in the yellow seat STANDING UP?!?!?...SAFETY STANDARDS PEOPLE: YOU MUST BE THIS TALL, ETC. :D

Also, @PurpleDave: Ever thought of building a Beeholder...like 'the standard' but yellow n' black, wings, and maybe a stinger...:)

You just need to take a ride in a concrete mixer... then it will all become clear!

Seeing this set revealed back in the day was pretty cool. It inspired my brothers and I to MOC an entire fairground setup, which we kept up for several weeks. I was doing a LEGO PotD project that year, so the fairground featured in a number of those. I think we each built a MOC version of 10244 - at least, I know I did, and IIRC mine could be motorized, although I don't remember how well that actually worked.

Also, can I just say: 5 Creator Expert sets in one year? Just the 5! The Modular, the Winter Village set, 1 big car (notably, the first of the modern line of them), 1 big display model, and 1 large playset. Not one over $200. Man, times sure were simpler (read: better) back then....

An absolutely fantastic set! That you can fold the whole fair and take it away with the transpots is incredible, and the sheer variety of stuff here is amazing. It's a full set. It cost some money back in the day, but you got everything you'd want for a traveling fair. And the mixer itself is quite impressive! My only complaint is that there's nothing covering the truck. Over in my country they'd have panels. Maybe that would've made it too difficult to transport everything at this scale though.

Well, his stilts are more firmly connected than the guy in this set's are, as they're not just attached to him by one stud. The top of each leg is attached to the minifigure's legs: https://brickset.com/parts/6083001/brick-1x2x2-77-degrees-1-m-ass

Very fun look for the guy on stilts there, I'm surprised Lego haven't done more of those for other fairground sets

A fantastic set and one I impulse bought when I saw it. The mechanism for its movement is great and the fact that the whole thing is also able to fold up onto its trailer, must have taken amazing planning. by the designer… Just superb!

The first of that series of fairground sets which they’re sadly doing much less of now

And maybe working mandibles and beady black eyes? Already done, over a year ago (in total, I have 21 different full-size Beholders built). C’mon, I’ve got a zom-bee in my hunger of zombies. You really think I’d miss a trick like that? Although, I could maybe make a baby beeholder…

You should know that none of those sound terribly appealing.
