I don’t know why but I seem to love the Old West. No, seriously, I can’t explain why. It’s not like I dress like a gunslinger or watch Westerns or anything like that because really I don’t. So you can imagine how (unexplainably) pleased I was to see this amazing LEGO Wild West town built by ilive. This has everything you can expect from a booming Old West town: horses, train tracks, stagecoaches, even one of those western windmill dealios. You can get lost in all the amazing details. A layout this good makes me wish LEGO would bring back the Western theme from 1996. I mean, seriously, who didn’t lose their gunslinging, horse riding, cow rustling minds when Fort Legoredo came out?
While we’re here, let me call out just a couple of my favorite sections. Here’s the old mine that’s sure to make the townsfolk just a little richer.
While the bank and saloon isn’t without their charms, I’d say another favorite of mine is this train station. Again, I love this station and the entire Wild West theme for reasons I just can’t understand. But why ask why, right? You just know you like something and sometimes the reasons remain a mystery to us all.
