Lego releases new stickers for set 7425

[highlandcattle]

I work in a toyshop and on thursday with got a new box of set 7245's and now all the stickers are blue instead of green/black. This deffo means that the colours of the entire police team will change to blue.

What is 7425?

Neither Bricklink or Brickset recognizes it. :-(

Indeed! Sometimes I think I'm a bit dislectic

i think it's strange that LEGO would alter an existing product like that... does this mean that this police set will not be discontinued and will become part of the 2008 line ???

are there any pictures ???

They did the same with Ferrari Finish Line. The stickers (and the box art) changed to reflect the current drivers.

I find it odd that they changed this set and not the small police car set seeing as people would preferably buy that set multiple times.

yes, that is what makes me believe this set, and only this set, will continue to be sold along side the 2008 line, while the other 2005 police sets will retire.

if not, then this is really interesting - BM

Maybe the new shipments of the small car simply haven't come in yet

[Darth_Legois]

Well the 08 Police Car is diffrent to the 05 one thats probable why they wouldnt do blue stickers for it... :-|

[highlandcattle]

beg you pardon?

[RupeeClock]

Well as you can see in the avatar from Darth_Legois_619 ...

... the new police cars will get blue stickers.

yes, that could be it.

you know, if that is true - that these two small sets are being integrated into the 2008 line, then i guess we wont see any new solo police truck or car sets for 2008. it's interesting that LEGO wouldn't choose to make all new sets for the 2008 line. maybe they are just coming later, and the old re-stickered sets are place holders.

Do you mean change the 05 or 08 car? :-$ 8-|

Or they're trying to make the 2 police iterations more compatible?

Okay but if i buy a police car i will have blue ones and black ones and i don't think that's looking nice for a city, tho?

I wonder if they will continue 7235 with blue stickers as well?

HC, do you have pics of the 05-line with blue stickers?

[The Cobra]

I know this topic is nearly one year old, but I'd like to have an answer to Holodoc's question.

I've only seen pics from the Lego site with the blue stickers on the 7235 bike, but no "actual" photo.

replying in a new post so that topic may become visible for those who want to know:

this picture seems to answer the question (found on brickshelf, not a pic of mine).

[brickzone]

One of the local shops here (Art and Hobby) got a truckload of sets in the last week or so for the Christmas shopping - including a whole bunch of the old police motorbikes with blue stickers.

I can't really decide whether I prefer the blue or black. The black is a bit plain and stark, but the blue is not a shade that I like that much (primary colour blue).

In any case, I have both, having bought the original black sticker versions of the car and motorbike, but the new police sets with blue stickers.

[BlueBard]

Well, I bought a 7245 set some months ago in Madrid and all the stickers were blue with the english/german pattern (even in the box!). And I bought a Police car the last month in Paris and the stickers were also blue. (In fact I never noticed they were normally black... ) so I suppose at least in these two countries it's nothing new...
