Thanks to Eurobricks Reviewers Academy Teacher, Cardinal Brick for sharing with us this one of a kind rare Paradisa review. The 6414 Dolphin Point lie at the outlying islands, where visitors are able to enjoy the beach front with the dolphins at the sea. I truly enjoyed seeing this set as it’s very uncommon to see official LEGO Lighthouses and this is definitely one of the nicer modern designs.

Come get your ice cream in this beautiful sunny Paradisa beach with our Eurobricks Reviewers Academy Teacher, The Cobra in this pinkish lively 6402 Sidewalk Cafe. This set brought back memories for anyone whom enjoy a pinkish experience in the 1990s.

I am glad to own this set as it will definitely helps to add some colours in your surroundings. Oh, do note that the printed ice cream tiles are one of the rare printed elements in this set. So be sure to have these printed tiles when you buy it.
Gather around all ya scurvy sea go’en fans, tonight by the dark waters of Dock 13, I’m go’en to tell you a Tale of Two Lighthouses. My story begins at a light known as Dolphin Point. Some might call ‘er pink, but don’t let the color fool ya, for she could at one time withstand some of the most formidable of storms. With four foolish, fun figs, more along the lines of vacationers, one had a hobby near and dear to my heart, for when the sardine cans were run’n low, he could grill a mean mackerel. The old stone light had a twisting staircase leading up to the fresnel lense, and a classic-style telescope could spy a ship in the roughest of nearby waters. During better weather, a small sailing vessel could be found circling the sand covered shores with a friendly Flipper chasing behind; but that’s not to say that the vacationers should have left off their brightly yellow colored life vests. Music from a printed cassette radio played Surf’n USA that day, under the shade of an inviting palm. Polly the Parrot even whistled the tune as the ladies set the table in preparation for the catch of the day. None of them suspected the perfect storm that would soon devastate Dolphin Point and the rest of Classic Town.
Thirteen (13) years would pass, an unlucky number, before a new lighthouse would be erected at twice the cost, this one built by the U.S. Coast Guard bearing it’s new bright orange signature color. The ground surrounding the light would be built up to protect the tower from the roughest of waves, and the classic telescope of Dolphin Point replaced by a new electrical radar system. One keeper now watches as a silly surfer can be seen in the distance. An additional light beacon nearby the dock warns unsuspecting ships of the added danger due to squalls in the area. A mid-sized coastal cutter manned by one pilot and diver patrols as an extra precaution, but a grey shark has made the nearby waters his new feeding ground. How long until the next perfect storm? Only you can decide the fate of the LEGO Lighthouse after reading this tale, a Tale of Two Lighthouses, here on Classic-Town.
Brickshelf member Nuno2500 creates a Riding Clubhouse to go with the City horse trailer 7635. Combing a classic style structure with some modern elements and building techniques, the clubhouse serves as a great equestrian scene.
Some of you may remember The Pink Dolphin, a vacation high-rise that Eurobricks town fan ACCURATEin began creating several months ago. We don’t always have an opportunity to see the progress of such a large-scale project, but this time, ACCURATEin has shared a more recent image of his near-completed resort. With spectacular details that certainly look relaxing and enjoyable, make sure you check out the pink resort.
With pick posies and a pretty minifig in horse racing attire, EB town fan Clone O’Patra brings us an excellent review of Paradisa set 6417 Show Jumping Event, from 1997. This 35 piece set is packed with excellent parts including a black horse with wonderful female rider, rare pink fences, barrel, whip, plus white arches. If she wins the race, a yellow cup is hers for the taking (not that she has much competition). Thank you Clone O’Patra for bringing EB Trains and Town another outstanding Classic Town review!
Brickshelf member, pepci has done an impressive villa by using both 6416 Poolside Paradise baseplate and the huge 4956 Creator Tan House together and build up this very nice Modern Villa, that even has its own swimming pool and garage in this two level villa.

From 1992 – 1997, Lego dipped into the waters of paradise with a series of sets as part of their Paradisa theme. With a pink and white color pallette along with lots of palm trees, Paradisa would provide Classic Towners with a more leisurely collection of vacation destinations. Sets like Dolphin Point, Rolling Acres Ranch, and Cabana Beach (to name just a few), certainly make a splash in Classic Town history. Lego fan Beforekilling shares his Paradisa Collection on Brickshelf, and what a wonderful collection it is.
