rating lego ambulances: the seventies
classic from basically the dawn of time. looks like your grandfather carved it from a block of wood. nothing fancy but at the time it was probably very impressive. 🚑🚑🚑🚑
this exact ambulance was also included as part of several sets but I’m not going to go through and try to list them all. more importantly, it looks like something a three-year-old built and I don’t feel right offering them any criticism. wow, billy, it looks great! 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑
hold the fuck on. this is just #338 except with a printed front end instead of the neat brick-built one. not falling for it, lego. 🚑
this one’s even less different! all you did was make the cross stickers bigger and stick a tile on the roof! 🚑
jesus christ the stretcher has turned the doctors into a human centipede and the girl in the wheelchair’s had her legs chopped off and laid in front of her. proto-minifigs are scary. anyway the ambulance is more vanlike than the ones before it which I guess might speak to shifts in the types of actual ambulances being used at the time (in denmark probably) and actually looks a lot like a small version of what I think of as the standard lego ambulance. it sure is extremely plain-looking though. not even any lights. 🚑🚑
the doctors are still centipeding out but the ambulance looks better this time around. also wow lego sure liked doing helicopter and ambulance combos in the seventies, huh? I actually appreciate the design of this helicopter a lot. 🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁 but we’re only actually here for ambulances. 🚑🚑🚑
what the fuck happened here, lego? you finally invent proper minifigs and you decide that means this skinny-ass roadster with a water cooler duct taped to the roof is an ambulance? you make me sick. 0 ambulances.
#347 Hospital - Lucy Lamb and Charlie Cat Visit Dr. Dog (1979)
the american version of this set was apparently smaller for some reason? but I can only find a picture of the european version, which leads us to a problem. you see, despite the name of the set, dr. dog is clearly the one who’s going out to visit someone. also, ambulance looks suspiciously like a prisoner transport or something. 🚑 it’s bad to lie.
