Hobbes Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 As mentioned before last weekend Berlin saw the annual "1000 Steine Land", 1000steine.com's annual LEGO exhibition. This year also "featured" VIP visits from TLC's highest levels. Friday was "members-only-day" and visitors were told by those VIPs about a new train set for 2007, aimed at AFOLS. Not much has been confirmed and pictures weren't allowed, but it's supposed to be some sort of "creator set for trains". It'll include about 900 pieces for a (IMHO hefty) price of $100/ Quote

alex54 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 It sound good! Just wait and see... This would be a good way to have more trains without all the IR system Just hope that they will have a good look... Quote
ApophisV Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 but how about as that dont? i only have one train set and beilive me finding new track is getting harder and harder... This set isn't meant as a starter set for people that don't have any train sets yet. It's more meant like some sort of huge train part expansion set... Quote

gylman Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 It seems that TLC is giving trains a bit more attention this year, with this and the Xmas set (which I will definitely be buying, having seen some BS pictures). I know the 9V fans are not happy about the new trains, but as someone who has never had the interest in trains, it does not seem to me that they are totally neglecting the AFOLs and the whole train concept.

Section8 Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 With no track or motors, this will appeal to both 9V and RC fans. I've only got 1 9V train, but if it has great parts, I'll buy it. Quote

phoinix Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 are we sure that this is the set or are we guessing? where did you get the pics legomilk? Quote
Hobbes Posted August 26, 2006 Author Posted August 26, 2006 It's not the set. The picture is a model designed by James Mathis and was used by S@H to promote the new LEGO Factory. But I read you could build this model (or a similar one) with the new set, the color scheme it uses is the color scheme of the set. Quote
legomilk Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 more pics http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=201972 *y* 8- Quote
highlandcattle Posted August 27, 2006 Posted August 27, 2006 That's just a commercial for the lego factory Quote
jmenomeno Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 This was presented at BrickFest, but people were requested not to make pictures of it. The keynote had pics of all 30 models that could be built with the parts (individually) and the bag of parts was shown - it's pretty darned heavy! Also, the box design was presented. Attendees got to get a little insight as to how the Ultimate Train Builder's Set was created - with a LOT of AFOL help! Joe Meno Event Coordinator, BrickFest 2006 PS the Lego Factory ad on Brickshelf has one of the models shown. PPS TLG is looking to printing instructuions and placing them in the LEGO Factory sets.

highlandcattle Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Super Off topic: Alex I've been looking at your town 2006 pix and I'm super jealous!! Especially the old town center looks super amazing! Even more off topic: Does somebody have any examples of how to make a believable house with classic castle pieces??? On topic: People who whine about lego not doing enough should be quite right know, both the new cargo train and this set are contenders for my birthdaygifts next year :D Quote
alex54 Posted September 1, 2006 Posted September 1, 2006 Super Off topic: Alex I've been looking at your town 2006 pix and I'm super jealous!! Especially the old town center looks super amazing! Thanks a lot! I will made a topic on my city and its evolution soon... And the new cargo train will come after the 4th in my mail box (not realy because of the size...) Can't wait! Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 Great news! Looking forward to this. I'm very interested in seeing what the set will include. Quote
