LOL, you would sound like a cheap version of Costco. :-D

That would be funny... Olego, Half Member, posts: 4,000... but if I were to get a special title, I would never ask for it and would want it to be something you all picked. :| LOL, it was the "Dark side" of the force. (Place Darth Vader minifig smily here)

LOL :-D , your welcome. Damn, "Half Member" is not a special title? At first I did not think I would care for this site just because of the EuroBricks title. I live in the US and did not think I would blend well with everyone else. Man was I wrong!! I think this is what makes this site work so well. Us Americans are too damn opinionated. Don't believe me?, just read David's posts ;) :D

I personally love this site and the people on it. I viewed post on fbtb for years but hardly ever posted in fear of being edited, kicked off or harassed for talking about something that was not yet "official". The new pics are great, and I would only see them a week before they hit the stores if I were still on fbtb, but the people is what brings me back everyday. Thanks to everyone for being so cool in welcoming new guests, instead of telling everyone to just go megablock themselves.

Yeah, I doubt there will be any SW figs. I'm thinking there will be more generic Town minifigs, however, castle and egyptian would be great. I'm personaly looking forward to it because I have a train/town display. I can't afford buying large lots on Ebay. I will let everyone know what types we get in. I will also be purchasing a few cups and will take pics as soon as I can.

I have 6285, Black Seas Barracuda and 6392, Airport that Santa gave me as a child. I love both of these sets but voted for the Black Seas Barracuda! You have to! Like Luigi said

Do you think they make mistakes, or do you think its all part of the marketing? They have to know that product info gets leaked before they want consumers to know about it. They may be doing a Lucas "Revenge of the Jedi" thing.

Wow, I'm gone for two days and all these pics show up. I have to say that I love the new construction sets. It looks like Lego is doing a very good thing... going back to the good old days. 7448 is pretty cool. It is great to have a street sweeper (7242) without spending $20 at bricklink. The construction yard (7243) is one of the greatest constructions sets I've seen. And the crane (7249) is just amazing!! The Ferrari & Knights Kingdom stuff is pretty cool, just not my thing.

I was a little harsh on the fire house. It is much better that the last one and much cheaper. The train station is just pure odd. It would be nice if Lego re-issued the Metro Station set (4554) or made a more classic station set like it. They did a great job on the train shed, you just have to buy two of them. It would be great if they offered a station that is on par with the shed. As for the base of the new fire station, I know what you are saying. I also don't care for the big base of the new police station. And I don't think it is available in the US. It is not in any books or stores and the website will not let me order it. It says "not available in your country".

Someone is going to buy a few fire stations tonight. :D

The new fire station is on Ebay and it is up to $41.40 US with 2 days, 3 hours left. Ebay Link So is the fire truck with a buy it now of $30.00 US Ebay link

The two big hull pieces (or one large piece) looks like it will float, just like the old boat sets. I also don't think they would do a molded piece like that unless it did float. I do like it, but would not buy it. What ever happened to Lego making home/buildings sets? They have the Main Street Legend set but it is an old set. Even the buildings they have are kinda Megablock. Like the train station and (sorry David) the new fire station.

Lego were always expensive when I was a kid. My mother loved Lego and liked to buy them for us, however, she always bitched about the price. Did you see this... "This is the Lego System by Samsonite" Did Samsonite own Lego at one point? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/estrand/...mas_catalog.jpg

I don't know about kids today, but when I was a kid, this statement would not of been true. I'm 26 now and when I was a kid we did have a ton of knockoffs to choose from. None were like Lego. My brother and me would build cars and keep them around for a long time. In fact I still have a bunch of cars that are still together from 12 years ago. Try that with Megablock or any of the other knockoff brands. Megablocks separate themselves overnight (my nephews have 2 sets and hate them). Knockoff companies will grab the customer at first, but the Lego quality will always bring them back.

Thanks for the review David. I would by the fire truck and take pics for everyone but with Christmas coming I don't have the money right now. I will try to take pics of the boxes on the shelf. The boxes are huge (Jack Stone *Megablock* like). I would think Lego would cut box sizes to save money. Then you would be wrong. The two fire sets are available at the US Lego Stores. My store has the fire sets, just waiting on the police sets to arrive.

Damn, you were talking about the pens right? Next time I will read the post twice and try not to post when I'm tired.

Your store had the new Police sets? We have yet to get them in. I really want that new police van.

Cool, thanks for the link Jon

Nice pics! Thanks for posting them. Does anyone know what platforms this game will be available for? Ex... Playstation, PC, Xbox etc...

Same here ApophisV. I'm not into the cars or racers collections, but I think they did a nice job with the Enzo. Here in the states we have a Discovery theme that includes the Luner Rover, Mars Rover and a Space Shuttle, just to name a few. Since the 05 SW sets are on the way, the Discovery sets are now discontinued.

The sail barge or the sand crawler would be great us UCS sets. I would be really cool if Lego made a "Battle of Hoth" set like this one. I know, I know... keep dreaming

NO!!!! MORE TIES??.... Wait did you say mini? Hm... I think I have more room for mini ties. HaHaHa :D

Cool, lets crush and incinerate Megablocks!

I don't really care that my minifigs are peach, I just don't like all the re-releases. My checkbook can't take one more hit with yet one more re-release. I'm also getting tired of building ties. The USC like Snowspeeder and the new USC Y-wing is awesome, but I already have the original snowspeeder, the falcon, and way too many ties. I have not purchased the tie collection yet, but I will because I'm a sucker. Overall I think the 04 line was mediocre at best. Well, I'm off to make more room for more ties...

Damn the newbies I say, damn them.... and my checkbook! |-/
