2013 Lone Ranger Sets

....And here I was thinking that I would skip this theme. Ha! :grin:

This set looks absolutely incredible! This, along with confirmation that the Stagecoach set will be $30 is just icing on the cake.

£30, not $30. The USD price quoted is an estimate, and in my opinion slightly optimistic. Somewhere in the realm of $40 is more likely - which is still a steal for you American-types.

What's with the bird in Tonto's hair? I can't remember him having one on his head.. The sets look fantastic, in particular the train. Now I'm trying to work out where to put a steam train in my layout....!!

I don't know the tribe, but there are certain Native Americans whose medicine men wear a dead crow on their heads for religious reasons.

These sets are fantastic - I'm stunned. Licensed themes are sooo lazy (that dreadful POTC theme), but this - great minifigs (as one would expect) but delightful sets showing genuine love shown in the designing and building.

Well done TLG - I never thought I'd buy lone ranger sets

What do you mean with lazy? Actually, the sets of licensed themes always are much more detailed than "normal" sets. That's why i love most licensed themes (except PoP, cause it was a boring movie/story.

Woah, the Stage Coach set looks a lot better than it did in the catalog! Not only is there five figures... the detail is amazing!

the crow head is apparently inspired by a portrait where a crow is flying by!

I was already going to pick all of these sets up without ever seeing a picture. But now seeing the pictures in more detail, they are really going all out for this theme. I can't wait to get these. I know very little of the Lone Ranger story, but it doesn't matter with these beautiful sets. I will definitely see the movie thanks to TLG.

I love the stagecoach design overall. I especially love 3 horses in one set, 2 of which are black without evil eyes.

The train is a must have anyway, but with all of that track included it is a day 1 purchase. I was going to get it anyway without the track, but that cinches it.

And a lot of useful torsos for MOCs, not just western themed either.

So far I am much more impressed with this theme than Super Heroes, which has been kind of a let down lately. Those are for the figures. These sets seem to be for the figures and the sets themselves!

Will definitely pick this set up! I am very surprised that it actually come with tracks! The Gatling gun is certainly very cool.

All the minifigures are great but I gotta say that that red lady is one of the most unique figs ever. I've never seen such attention on details, I wish all figures could be designed that way.

30 pounds. I'm hoping that converts into $30 USD, but who knows...

I think Lego finally learn't to add detail to their licensed sets....the stagecoach is far better than the coach that came in London Escape. :wink:

This theme is like Pandora's box. I'm so afraid to purchase even one set, because I know once I open that door... Grrr. So many interesting pieces and prints for so many other themes as well.

And like I have room for a train. Really. :hmpf:

I wasn't originally going to get any of these sets, but the more I see of them the more I think about how much more shelving I'm going to need.

At the very least I'll have to get the stagecoach, the turning mechanism is really impressive. Plus I just have a soft spot for western stuff.

What is it about Jonny Depp minifigures that they've always got to be carrying a 1x1 tile compass? :wink:

It's a pocket watch this time, better question is why he always plays weird painted characters.

You'd think a 1x1 round tile would be more fitting for a pocket watch? Like for Harvey Dent's coin.

Seems like Lone Ranger is the licensed theme LEGO put ALL their effort into this year. Great to see some nice-looking sets after all the horrendous SuperHeroes/Star Wars sets.
