For many years Lego has produced both baseplates and road plates and have been used by fans of every age. However, these road plates have very little flexibility and use aside roads.These new plates provide an excellent way to not only easily construct roads but the piece itself is very versatile and can be used in various ways. For example, it could be used for a makeshift wall, a base for a Star Wars hangar bay or even roof top coverings for modular buildings. Their small size allows for easy storage when they're not in use and their wide availability in the current city wave means they are plentiful for any wishing to make the switch from road plates.I hope these road pieces will continue to be available going forward providing a sophisticated shine to any ... MoreFor many years Lego has produced both baseplates and road plates and have been used by fans of every age.

Lego has been making road plates for years upon years. Their strengths used to be how easy it was to lay down a street and their price. However, they used to limit the flexibility by offering fixed crossings, straight roads and so on.With this set, it's all up to your imagination! You can make a crossing wherever you want, or you can choose to have it all as just straight road.This set also comes with accessories such as street lights, stop lights, signs, and some greenery. The inclusion of the accessories are perfect for kids who want a more authentic experience, but they also look good in any collectors lego city.The glow in the dark elements doesn't glow very well except if they have been charged with a flashlight beforehand. Leaving them in a lit up room ... MoreLego has been making road plates for years upon years. Their strengths used to be how easy it was to lay down a street and their price.

Leaving them in a lit up room isn't enough to get a good glow.There are no stickers in the set, everything is printed, which is great for the longevity of the set.The height of the plates are higher than before, but adapting is simple as placing a normal plate under the baseplates of for example modular buildings brings them up to the correct height.These plates doesn't include sidewalks, which is a good thing if you are going to place these next to the modular buildings as they already have side walks. Otherwise, some plates and tiles can easily be used to create sidewalks of your own.Overall I'd say this set is excellent and opens up for creativity like never before!

These things are baffling. I bought a few without looking very closely at them, but they are really only meant to be used with the three new City sets IMO. First the good: everything is printed on the bricks and there are a lot of unique and interesting pieces here. I actually have no problem with the value for money and I will use some of this stuff. Just not the actual road plates. The problem I have with them is that I have a big modular city, and most of the parking is on the edge of the street. I had assumed that these consisted of several 8x16 plates so you could make multiple lanes but they are actually these big 16x16 plates that you can’t split in half. What I had thought I would be able to do is build two lanes of traffic and then have a third lane for ... MoreThese things are baffling.

What I had thought I would be able to do is build two lanes of traffic and then have a third lane for parking or have a center lane for left turns. Perhaps I’m the fool for not looking more closely at the box, but since when does Lego sell you something this rigidly defined? There is almost no room to customize these or use these for any purpose except those three recent City sets. I am an adult so I will probably try to just buy some long plates to make parking lanes but don’t buy these for kids and don’t buy these for modular cities. The plates and bricks that LEGO has been making your entire life are cheaper, more fun and more adaptable than these.
