beans Posted March 29, 2010 Has anyone spotted the Pig Farm (7684) in TRU or anywhere aside from S@H? It came out on S@H a month ago but I've had no luck in finding it anywhere; I hear that Farm is a TRU exclusive, so I thought it'd turn up there by now. On top of this, it's not listed on either the CA or US TRU website. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarkan Posted March 30, 2010 Don't know if you've seen this, but here:8403 Wow, that set looks awesome! I dunno if it's been posted before, but if not, then thanks a lot for bringing attention to it! Things I can make out in the photo are a grill, mailbox and green garbage can, a street lamp, a treehouse(!), and what looks like a full interior and perhaps even a couple exclusive minifigs! Man, this one is a winner for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Elijah Timms Posted March 31, 2010 Don't know if you've seen this, but here:8403 What I'm curious to see is the interior, esp. the furnishings. Lego is so good at making great, cool little details and props with very few pieces, such as the coffee maker in the Police HQ or the organ keys on the Flagship. Really want to see how they do the furniture here, and how much they'll include... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Getsome Posted April 2, 2010 Just noticed this while looking at the pictures on http://www.spieletest.at/bericht.php?ID=775 , but it looks like 8403 is actually sitting behind the fire helicopter in this picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cwetqo Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I have some pictures, but I dont beleive it's 8403. If it is, then it's very dull. EDIT: it is, but its lacking sun roof in front and I still think it's dull. Edited April 2, 2010 by Cwetqo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRogall Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) I can't find the original thread for the Minifigur Collection series but I just found this neat picture of all the figures on a japanese web site which also shows a dispenser, also the second series will come in beige bags Edited April 2, 2010 by grogall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skalldyr Posted April 2, 2010 which also showsa dispenser Ohh nooooo! I wanted to feel it, so I know for what I spend my money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenxl7 Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) Cool picture. I'm already planning on getting several figures from this line, and even doubles of some. Most of which will go towards the several HP themed minifigs I'm going to customize. For example, two Cowboys will make great starting points for Fred and George. Still, there's at least two I'm planning on getting and keeping as-is. The zombie and the mime. Ohh nooooo! I wanted to feel it, so I know for what I spend my money. The vending machine could, in theory at least, be just for the Japanese market. Brickipedia has a picture from the German 2010 consumer guide showing a box stand/display. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/File:CollectableminisDE.jpg Definitely looks like you'll be able to feel the bags to check who you'll be getting. I'll be surprised if US stores don't have the same display. Which'll be great as there are some very specific one's I plan on getting.

Klaus-Dieter Posted April 3, 2010 I have some pictures, but I dont beleive it's 8403. If it is, then it's very dull.EDIT: it is, but its lacking sun roof in front and I still think it's dull. Thank you very much for these pictures, Cwetqo! This seems indeed to be 8403 City House - but without minifigs, garden and terrace. There seem to be two solar panels on the roof - very nice addition! Unluckily you can't view clearly inside the house. But might there be a cooking stove behind the left big window downstairs? Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 3, 2010 Oh goodie, a whole new door for the front door and solar panels - COOL , and yes it does look a lot like the fuzzy picture of 8403 minus the exterior trimmings of a front and side yards. I agree with you 'Klaus-Dieter' that might be a kitchen down stairs, but still we'll have to wait and see. Thanks 'Cwetqo' for the great find. I'm a conformist! everyone !

Piranha Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks for the pics and for good eyes it is missing a terrace though? Solar panels? Hybrid Cars? Wind Turbines? TLG is sure doing a good job of incorporating "green" and renewable technology into sets I am fan of this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 4, 2010 I can't find the original thread for the Minifigur Collection series but I just found this neat picture of all the figures on a japanese web site which also shows a dispenser, also the second series will come in beige bags Said vending machine will dispense these minifig packs, my brother-in-law went to Japan last year and he said that there were vending machines everyone - even ones to sell you either hot noodles or fresh clean underwear ! I'll check with my sources this week on a few things including these minifig packs. I'm a conformist! everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) G'day folks, look what this tiger found while looking through Brickshelf, the pictures are way too big so here's a link....... Minifig Pack - Diver I wonder how many others might be hiding in Brickshelf. I'm a conformist! ! Edited April 5, 2010 by lightningtiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted April 5, 2010 Happy Monday everybody.... Quick question, and forgive me if it's been addressed before because I just couldn't seem to find it elsewhere, but-- Does anyone have concrete dates when the rest of the 2010 city sets will drop in the U.S.?? Tanker truck, Copter & Limo, Airport, Passenger plane, etc? Or even the trains?? I'm not the expert several of you are, but I do understand that by now the remaining big periods of release in any year are June and then pre-Christmas, correct? Does Lego have a standardized 'windows' each year when sets are launched, or is it more random and less able to anticipate? I guess I'm just starting to get anxious... I've only been into City for a few months and want to plan accordingly. Any info would be appreciated... thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, interesting, because all are widely availbe in europe for a few weeks now (except trains of course). I think that LEGo is not so focused on "release windows" anymore, but is releasing sets month per month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted April 5, 2010 Normally there are 2 big release periods for S@H when most of the product is available - Jan and June - but LEGO has individual deals with retailers and countries about exactly when the sets are released - they are normally spread out month by month.

Bachus Posted April 8, 2010 I just realised that there's an other option for te public transport set. Maybe, we'll get a tram without any use of tracks. In that case TLG could choose to use the regular carwheels. Those wheels are not visible (like the image below) Stickers of tram- tracks could be easaly added to the regular roadplates. I know, not the nicest thought, but I just wanted to share this option. The set could be contain a platform, a tram, a bus and track stickers in that case...

lightningtiger Posted April 8, 2010 Nice idea, but what if you dont want to use road plates, ah well this Public Transport set refuses to die. Lets think about one thing - America - yes the old U.S.A. - ask yourself what public transport is in the U.S.A., not Australia, New Zealand, U.K. or Europe even ? It would be funny if it's just a different colour 7938 Passenger Train eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
