Holodoc Posted June 11, 2010 Please excuse me for not knowing, but does Greece use the Euro? You must have been living on the wrong side of the moon not knowing that Greece indeed is using the €. I could start a long political rant here, but let's just say §$%&*>#! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRogall Posted June 11, 2010 §$%&*>#! Pertaining to Greece enough said!!!!!! but back to the theme:The TRU truck will be TRU exclusive but should be available in all TRU stores around the world, price not known! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorbas Posted June 11, 2010 Please excuse me for not knowing, but does Greece use the Euro? I'm moving to Germany in November for my job, and since I'll be on a military base, I'll have access to US and European sets. I'd be completely cool with shipping you a copy if you just pay for shipping. I'll be getting sets from whichever source is cheaper. Yep, Greece is in the Eurozone. Thanks for your interest Thee Pirate. I'll just have to wait and see if this set will eventually comes here and I'll let you know. I could start a long political rant here, but let's just say §$%&*>#! Long story mein freund... Very very long to be precise, unfortunately... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted June 11, 2010 I'd like to have them both! Will the TRU truck be sold in Australia by any chance? Yes, Lego Australia and TRU Sydney HQ have comfirmed to me - AUGUST - $ 59.99 I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildblue Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) I think the London Bridge is going to be an exclusive in the near future. FWIW, I was just at the Lego Store near Baltimore, and the rep there did tell me this was coming out as a Eiffel Tower/Taj Majal type set. Also said the Winter Toy Shop was being re-released, an updated Maersk ship, and some other cool stuff that I hadn't read about here. Looks like 2010 is shaping up to be a very good year!

GRogall Posted June 12, 2010 I Think maybe Lego is trying to recreate a north pole village with all the christmas themes coming out? 10173 Holiday Train 10199 Winter Toy Shop 10216 Winter Village Bakery I actually kind of like the thought! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted June 12, 2010 I'm looking forward to the Bakery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tulatin Posted June 12, 2010 From this preliminary image, ,you can see a Monorail, a Tram, a Bus, Dual Bus and Tram Stop, Taxis and Snack Bar. And with set 8404, we get the Tram, Bus, Two separate Bus and Tram stops, Street Sweeper, Sports car and some Tuck Shop-esq thing. That leaves the Monorail, Taxis and Snack Bar. The Monorail and Snack Bar are in an older set, 6399 Airport Shuttle. The Taxi can be seen in 7937 Train Station. That means everything is accounted for. This is a bit of an old post to respond to, but look at the tracks. That's airport shuttle, but 6 wide. We're getting it back. Awwww yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Elijah Timms Posted June 12, 2010 Right... looked it up on brickset since. But we have a confirmed re-release of Toy Shop?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalandi Posted June 12, 2010 Why Re-Release? That set only came out last year. As far as i understood that, there is yet another set in that "style" coming out this year. Or was that with the bakery only wishful thinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also said the Winter Toy Shop was being re-released, an updated Maersk ship, and some other cool stuff that I hadn't read about here. Looks like 2010 is shaping up to be a very good year! I forget when the release is, but the London Bridge will be one, and then a bakery shop about the size of the Winter Toy Shop probably in October. I keep trying to think of what comes to mind in regards to the term 'public transport'. The only two things I can think of is a bus and a lightrail/monorail. Also, i wonder if there will be another cargo ship in the future. ?! Maybe a MAERSK blue or something of that nature. hmm. Back on March 17 I snuck a little hint in about the Maersk ship but no one believed me. hehhe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How cool would one of those be trundling round a city set up? Lego really have to create that there rikshaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slacker int Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) well apparently i missed this in the city 2010 thread. thanks Pi for pointing it out... sorry for the reposting. (still looks good though) According to Brickset, in addition to the new 3221 LEGO Truck, it is supposed that there will also be a special Toys "R" Us version (Set 7848) of this set, to be released sometime during 2010 http://www.flickr.com/photos/41215338@N04/4696782754/ Edited June 14, 2010 by slacker int Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewUSA Posted June 14, 2010 I can't wait for the release of the TRU Exclusive truck. This will make a great addition to my layout along with the 3221 set. The parts in blue are especially awesome! TLG has done an awesome job this year regarding City. I am very happy to see them create sets that reflect the sets from bygone years (1985 - 1996). I have been waiting a long time for Lego to get back to their roots of "Town". WAY TO GO LEGO!! KEEP IT UP! Model On!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRogall Posted June 14, 2010 I have German (European) prices on the 2 Toys R Us sets 7848 Toys R Us Truck €29.99 8404 Bus Station €99.99 And should be available on the 28th Calendar week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

just2good Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) I have German (European) prices on the 2 Toys R Us sets8404 Bus Station €99.99 I hope they lower the US price... Currently €99.99 converts to $122....

Mr. Elijah Timms Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) What surprises me isn't just how many new City sets TLG has released this year, but also how many BIG new City sets TLG has released this year. It seems like they just keep firing salvo after salvo at us. Not that I'm complaining... but you'd almost expect more low-end sets at this pace. After all the big ticket stuff this year you'd think they'd have kept the Public Transport under $100. Guess not. And yet, here in the US we're still waiting for the copter and limousine.... sigh...
