bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 EDIT: First pics on page 2. EDIT 2: Small set review... http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=6821 EDIT 3: The big blue fish is up here.... http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...=0entry107107 EDIT 4: The Fire set review is up.... http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=6823 Just came back from the Lego Store today (In the awesome Lego Mall) and there are all the Aqua Raider sets except the sunken ship one. I bought the $5 and $10 sets. The fire car I bought, and some older sets. They also had the yellow car set for I think $10, they weren't out yet, but were in the back. You can ask for it and they would gladly help, very nice. The mosaics were out too, $10 and $20. Not that nice looking. And HUGE news. The smallest Aqua raider set has a tile computer, printed yellow plane fin thingie and a printed helment. NO STICKERS!
Athos Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 and there are all the Aqua Raider sets except the sunken ship one. I bought the $5 and $10 sets. Can we see some pictures? Are the minifig faces any good for Castle? Steve
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 I have only biult the small Aqua set so far. The face is very good and is very knightish.
Sir Dillon Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Cool. :-) I echo the request for pictures.
Hinckley Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Cool. :-) I echo the request for pictures. What city are you in?
Sir Dillon Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 What city are you in? Why? Well, I'm in Lancaster, but in the US, not England.
Darthking623 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Were there other sets like fire station and the new star wars?
hewkii9 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Send us pics of the back of the box and reviews please! How much treasure is there?
oo7 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Off Topic-- Sir Dillon, is there any reason you don't have a flag? On Topic-- I won't ask as much as a pic review, but could we just get a brief description of the head please?
Hinckley Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Why?Well, I'm in Lancaster, but in the US, not England. Sorry, I didn't mean you. I meant bdd, what city where the new LEGO sets found in?
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 I was in the Natick Mall Store. It's the mega mall that is being expanded. IT'S HUGE! If you are in Boston I would recommand going there, the people are very friendly and know a lot about the products they sell. I was helping people with older products. :) I'll try to take a picture of his head, but I'm not very good at Lego picture taking. He has messed up black hair, needs to shave, kind of mean looking face. I'm not sure if it is a new face or not. The tressure is two jewels, blue and green, and a thing of gold coins, that's it. There are two red snakes which I haven't seen in red before. And there is also a skeleton head. I kind of killed the box, I smashed them a little when I almost knocked over my Pick-a-Brick at the store. But they are ok, I'll take a picture of them too. I didn't see any new Star Wars, they still had a lot of the old stuff out. There were no other new City sets, I made sure of that. Interesting the big yellow crane just came out in the US and on the box it says "special edition. I thought that was a little weird, more so because I saw it at Target too. Sadly the fire pickup truck set has stickers. :(
hewkii9 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Like Dracus's face in some Rogue Knight Battleship sets? And are there alternate model pics? Reviews pl0x!
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 Everyone calm down. :-P I took some pictures, they will be up after I resize them. I'm more of a town/creator person so I have no clue what the castle faces. I only have one new castle set (it was on clearence). I doubt there are alternate models because the sets are so small. I'll get some such or reviews up later, but here's a tease. Neither Aqua Raider set has any stickers. The big blue fish in the $10 set has a print on face! The fire truck thing is a nice small set, but seems kind of high in price. Lego prices have been odd the last few years anyways. My mini review says... great sets! :) What section should I put the reviews for Aqua Raiders in? Are they part of Town?
Zane Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Personally I'd put it in History and Adventure, seeing as it's an Adventur-y theme. It'll be moved if it's in the wrong place, anyways.
Zane Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Some changes of colour and box design there. Looks good. Any pictures of the fish one?
Athos Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks for the pictures! X-D I must say I'm a little disappointed with the diver's head. Its the same one that's been used in Orient Expedition, Vikings, KK2v.3, and now in aquaraiders. Lego seems to be really cheapening out with new face designs. I'm seeing the same ones pop up everywhere. Steve
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 Oh yeah, it is from that Adventure theme. Well you are going to feel even better now! The big blue fish set has two faces I know are from Castle / Viking. The fish is awesome through, and I wouln't say Lego is being cheap, they do have several printed pieces where they could have used stickers.
hewkii9 Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 How long until they hit Canada? Anyway, suh-weet. what does that blurb near the diver's head say? And a set of black legs! [i lost mine recently] What are the piece counts? I count 69 part types in the fish set [excluding where there are more then 1 of a part]. Wow. Review of DSTS please!
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 The thing near the head? On the box? On the small sub box it says "Go to Lego.com to find out fun facts about ocean life!" On the back fin it says "Sub Deep Diving".
Chuck Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 Are there any pics of the other city sets on the fire rescue instruction booklet? -l2k-
phoinix Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 those look so good!! me want!! and they are probaply the only ones i will get from those lines i really dont need me more fire stuff but i cant resist that cool car!
bdd Posted November 4, 2006 Author Posted November 4, 2006 Are there any pics of the other city sets on the fire rescue instruction booklet?-l2k- No, there is an ad for the SHop at Home Lego Store on the back page. Even the Aqua Raiders don't have the pictures of the other sets, which I think is a bad idea. The big yellow $50 AR sub is cool looking on the Box (no picture). The base is nice for little kids and looks like lots of fun but there is no roof. :lol: I added the review to the town section because the first AR pictures were palced there too. And I don't really need more fire stuff either. But I think it would be cool to have the boat that came with the fire truck a few years ago on on the back of the new pick up truck. I think it would fit better.
