Hi people, I'll be heading over to the US for a short trip so I'm hoping I can score a few sets to bring home. I'll be in New York and Washington D.C. for a couple of days each so I'm wondering where will I be able to find Lego sets. I've searched for Lego retail outlets and they are usually out of the city and only accessible by car. Are there any Lego shops in these two cities that are easily accessible via metro or bus? Any help much appreciated!

omg. how on earth did you stuff so much equipment into the truck? have to be something of a pack rat to be able to do that. i think the design is very streamlined and clean-cut - functional for a fire engine.

great pictures! i'm assuming the last pic shows the ticket/programme of some sort. anything exclusive for attending?

nice. i'm sure there are tons more photos just waiting to be discovered. just search flickr!

well, at least the fire station prediction was correct. as with many others. not too impressed with the design of the set. seems they knew that and included unique pieces to market the set rather than the design itself. not as innovative in terms of design like the rest of the modular buildings i think.

hurray for the new battle packs! they've definitely been a long time coming!

i voted for 2. and judging by comments here many did too! would be lovely if it won.

i really love this MOC. it's amazing to have come up with something with so much more playability AND detail than the original.

actually this reminds me of the "Disney copyright law". if the copyright law could be extended (supposedly because mickey mouse's copyright was about to expire), why can't similar things happen for lego? both are kind of crucial/central to each company.

this totally represents what i think is the situation for Singapore (another small country) as well other tiny markets. only a sole Lego distributor that overcharges the consumers rather than TLG's actual presence in the market.

i really like 6712 Sheriff's Showdown as it's small and affordable yet offers great playability with bandit, sheriff and a horse.

hm.. this is interesting. i may have to check on my clones from both batches to see if this is the case for mine. could it be that the 2009 (or late 2008) batches were rushed out so less quality checks?

nice review. althought adding a cutlass would have made it a better set. how can a pirate not own one?

hmm. too expensive for me. and the 7676 RAG will look tiny beside this new one. but a very interesting set indeed.

ah. looks a lot better than the original one. the power of imagination and lego. this should be indexed!
