L@go Posted May 6, 2011 As so many people seem to think that these new Creator sets almost belong to the City line anyway, I thought it might be interesting for you US based Eurobrickers to know that TRU is now selling the Lighthouse Island set (5770) on their website. Strangely not the Hillside House, though (5771). And if anybody's interested, the Kingdoms sets are also out, including the Mill Village Raid (7189). It's not a City set, for sure, but could easily be adapted to fit a town setup, especially with the MMV :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely it's the only new set from the summer wave that is now for sale, I hope this means the rest of the summer sets are on their way SOON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jose Posted May 6, 2011 At the Lego Store in Miami I saw on Monday: Harbor: US$89.99 Marina: US$49.99 (this one I'm not so sure, I think it was 49.99) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentMode Posted May 6, 2011 They're in Toys 'R Us over here as well, in case it hasn't been mentioned already. The marina is around GBP 41.99; the harbour is around the GBP 80 mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
escortmad79 Posted May 6, 2011 the harbour is around the GBP 80 mark. Wonder if they've sold many at that price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted May 6, 2011 Found all the 2011 City, Kingdoms and Creator sets at my LEGO Store. $45 Marina, $98 Harbor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Insanity Posted May 7, 2011 New High Res images of the two Creator sets! Covers link to gallery, when they go public! Lego Creator 5770 Lighthouse Island Does anyone else think that the Lighthouse alternate build marina makes the official marina set look even more lame? Even that dry dock boat mechanic shed alternate looks awesome. The lighthouse just may be the first Creator set I want to buy 3 copies just to build one of each model. This set really does make the harbor theme this year and its not even technically part of it. The only actual harbor set I want is the Cabin Cruiser II.

Joebot Posted May 7, 2011 Does anyone else think that the Lighthouse alternate build marina makes the official marina set look even more lame? Even that dry dock boat mechanic shed alternate looks awesome. I totally agree. I was checking out the Marina at TRU yesterday, thinking maybe the pictures online hadn't done the set justice. I found the set to be even LESS impressive. Without the background graphics on the box cover to give the set a sense of place, it's really going to appear bland and empty. The mini-figs aren't even that interesting. The Harbor, on the other hand, looks decent, although some raised harbor plates for the road would have been much appreciated. I'm curious to see some reviews on these to see if the Marina looks any better once it's actually built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One could say LESS impressive about a lot of sets, but the Marina is just meant to be part of a city/town and then build on to that. A retailer I spoke to doesn't felt the same as you for the harbour set, so I guess it's to one's own liking what they well....like ! I wonder why the speed boat transport is the only thing available yet in Germany ? Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Night City Dream Posted May 10, 2011 By the way, if you compared the upcoming Harbour with that back from 2007, what would you prefer and which pros and cons would you mention? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cwetqo Posted May 10, 2011 For me, 2007 version is better. Everything looks bigger and more serios and it gives you feel that yo've got more for your money (if I'm correct price is the same for both). In old one I like almost everything: blue/red colour combination, crane, truck, ships hull (ok, it could be a little smaller, but proportions are ok. In new one I like truck (even more then in 2007 one) and inclusion of fisherman. I dislike ships hull (it looks to long and too narrow) and also it's colour, even if know that coulour must be one of basic ones and not too dull). Colour combination of building and crane is also not working for me and those old style door dont help either. For me this looks like one more entry in "will buy if discount will be 50% or more" category. Too bad for lost oportunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 10, 2011 True the 2007 harbour which I'm a HUGE fan of....is better in some respects, but still the 2011 one has it's own merits. It's design lends to being a small seaside/river town than a big city shipping port. Plus that classic town feel fused into the modern city styling works and reinforces the idea of a small port, plus the boat doesn't look like a huge sea going one unlike the 2007 container ship. Oh, and all the harbour sets are now up on the US S@H page last night......I'm going import to get these early. Brick On everyone ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlegoninja Posted May 10, 2011 The harbor, to me, is much of a bad value. Too expensive and doesn't appeal to me. At first, I was excited about this 2011 year of sets. But I've narrowed my list of wants to a small size because of the price and other factors of sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted May 10, 2011 I think we need more reviews before people can dislike the new city sets, I felt the same towards Alien Conquest....see some reviews my mind has changed a little on them. So I say given them a chance ! The sets are still not up on Oz's S@H page yet, oh well ! Keep on watching ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Night City Dream Posted May 11, 2011 In new one I like truck (even more then in 2007 one) and inclusion of fisherman. The old one contained a fisherman as well. Agree to buy at 50 % of, otherwise it's too costly for what's offered and too childish. Too duplo-ish. The harbor, to me, is much of a bad value. Too expensive and doesn't appeal to me. At first, I was excited about this 2011 year of sets. But I've narrowed my list of wants to a small size because of the price and other factors of sets. I considered Marina in detail and I found out it is not a masterpiece either :( Very strange for me to day but the Police line-up is the best of 2011 for me.

jonwil Posted May 12, 2011 I considered Marina in detail and I found out it is not a masterpiece either :( Very strange for me to day but the Police line-up is the best of 2011 for me. I also think the police line is the best of the 2011 City sets. I bought the prisoner van, minifig pack, command truck and police station and may also buy the bank & money transfer (if I can find a copy at a price that isn't highway robbery that is) and also am considering buying another prisoner van for parts. The only City Space set I bought is the sattelite launch van (the rest dont appeal to me) And none of the harbor sets appeal to me at all (even less so than the last round of harbor sets) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 12, 2011 Funny the space sets have not even come out yet in the United States (USA). Who to blame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted May 12, 2011 Funny the space sets have not even come out yet in the United States (USA). Who to blame. Well, in the very least they're now on S@H.

Galaxy Explorer Posted May 12, 2011 I saw all of the space sets on Monday at the LEGO Store downtown, but blew my wad on grab bags. The Space Center looked very nice and I thought the price was reasonable ($70) especially when compared to the Harbor ($90) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
