    I don't like these figures at all. They just seem to be missing that "wow" factort that Series 1 and 2 had. I'm just gonna try to pick up a few elves and samurais and maybe the chief and thats it.

    yea, except for maybe 1 or 2, but there doesn't seem to be anything very special, I'm going to buy some, I'll just give the ones I don't like away. Hope TLG doesn't have series 4 like this, they should all be specially made with quite a bit of detail.

    thanks for the review and pictures, so far, the best advent calendar yet, I think i might get three, just because of the santa Clause, and the cool little toys, I might have to make a mini train for the engine. A shame that you opened it before Christmas, or December i meant, but i think that's why I'm getting 3 :)

    As much as i Hate to say this as a 9V fanatic, the plastic track is as good as we'll get, I'm not very happy about the flex track, I for one think that it is noisy when my emerald night goes over them, I think the flex track is only good for short spots that need filling.

    This is very cool, I wish i could make a bridge that could support my train, my bridge looks fancy its just that my train cars can be pretty heavy, and my bridge (majority of the time during test) will break and I will have to rebuild the train car, that is a mighty good looking subway train, very cool, keep up the great work

    Don't know how much of an inspiration it will be, but I've built the Polar Express.

    That is just amazingly beautiful :cry_happy: , why can't TLG do something like this, notice AFOL can make better trains with detail and features than TLG, That is just sad. :sceptic: come TLG!!!

    I hope you are joking. Here's a quote from Railbricks;

    "Longer trains/Stronger Motors - The new PF train motors are equal to or stronger than the 9v motors. Trains built with standard PF motors (Either the Medium or XL motors) and brick-built motor bogies are head and shoulders above 9v in terms of pulling power/tractive effort. At Brickworld 2009 a train strength competition was held and none of the 9v locomotives using non-LEGO power supplies could even come close to out-pulling the PF locomotive."

    I only said that because it would be a b***h to finally assemble it, just with a 9V you just attach it and put it on the track. I just put very effort into internal design with all those Gears, but that's me.

    I don't know about you (this is from my preseptive) but 9V track for me is cheap, $2.50 for one piece of straight track, that is as good as it'll get. I have both RC and 9V track. I still buy both, they are both reasonabley cheap (not the trains) I buy as many RC staright track as I can, (usually the boxes with curve and straight) and sell the RC curve for really cheap so I can get them off my hands. You really only need 24-28 curve if your making a big layout with at least 6 turns. Conversion wise, go ahead, well.....it's not really converting it's consuming both from what I do. It doesn't matter if you like one better than another it just depends on which you plan on spending most on. :thumbup:

    Some of the older 9V motors were reputedly better made than the later ones, but our show trains seem to be longer and heavier than yours. As an example we run about 16 Santa Fe coaches, about half of which are double decker Mocs. We use three motors on that train. Some of our more worn motors pull far less and still overheat. We have about twelve 9V motors and at times had difficulty finding one to run.

    See I don't do that to my motors, what I do is have 2 motors for every 3-4 train cars, depends on how heavy, and 1 with the engine. so I have a total of 5 motors pulling my EM 4 motors in my passenger cars, and 1 in my tender, which puts very little stress into my motors

    Oh no, not a LEGO World of Warcraft! :sad:

    I was saying the same thing, honestly who would pay $10 a month to play this game when you could buy tubs of Lego for $10, but you would be able to socialize with others, and have an endless sum of Bricks. Oh well, i'm not the consumer buying this game, I'm sticking to real life 4D Lego :)

    Okay, who's going to be the first to suggest we need a Halo Theme(month) then? deino2.gif

    I don't think TLG would do a Mature game, and then releasing it to the public, where majority of it are kids, but it would be nice if they did. But, if you haven't noticed already, TLG hasn't done a set or any theme for a video game, if they have it was most likely PG. I think TLG likes to keep things PG, and that's why their guns are very detailed.
