The pictures from exhibition and the grand opening are now in 'kostky' folder here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=426842

Hi, I'd like to inform you that fourth Kostky.org exhibition will start on March 20 in Roztoky (about 15 kms north of Prague). More information is here: http://www.kostky.org/e_roztoky2010en.htm I just came back from the first building weekend and I must say I was impressed by the models I've seen. I have not to forget the big (19 sq.m.) train layout which is expected run fully automated for three months with many trains cruising simultaneously. Some preliminary photos of unfinished models could be seen in this thread http://www.kostky.org/forum/index.php?topic=27332.0 Regards,

The only real downside of the set is that it's empty inside (despite the fact that the floors can be separated). The thing above front door is http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6120

i'd say "small" train station *sweet*

Forgot about the price - I've heard that the castle should be 100 EUR.

This picture is hosted on one of the Czech e-shops. The guys behind it are the volume dealers for the small toy shops. http://shop.scandimex.cz/detail.asp?idzbozi=1185

These are not translations, but original english names. 7090 Crossbow Attack 7091 Knights Catapult Defense 7092 Skeletons' Prison Carriage 7093 Skeleton Tower 7094 King's Castle Siege not sure about this: 7009 The Final Joust it's not present in Czech pricelist, maybe it'll come later?

Since I wrote them, I can read them ;-) They're slovak, as the preliminary info I got was in slovak pricelist. I'm going to fix that soon. What are you interested in?

There is too much talking without actually seeing things. The only 'large' part is the gate top (same one as in Morcia). The rest are 'classic' castle walls, turrets, corners and lots of arches and bricks. This is much more classic than the KK1 like 10xxx castle from this year.

No sarcasm, just pure truth :-D

Mars Mission will be the mix of the worst of Mars and UFO space subthemes. Including those godforbidden hoses. Phew.

The things from BrickWiki are totally bogus. There will be new castle line, called just Castle. Two factions, none of them classic. Buildings should be quite oldschool... 5 sets.

I don't think there is such link. The more Bionicle they sell, the more they are tempted to disregard System. Yeah, I'd like to see Lego to license Bionicle to some other company. Yeah, and I dislike studless technic, technic fairings and new NXT look. (Not to mention utter crap called Exo-Force and this year's Airport & Hospital stuff). Old fart, ya know.

There will be one cargo set (loco + crane + 3 waggons), one ICE set (2 locos, 1 waggon). They don't want 'system', they want to sell the box.

There are four sets, right: tracks points passenger train cargo train ;)
