Awesome! I really like the T-Rex. I never would've of thought of putting those spike pieces on that way. This is a really nice little Jurassic Park ripoff :thumbup:

Some of my bests would be: 10193 Medieval Market Village (One of the best castle sets ever, and that's saying something) 10185 Green Grocer (This and the Cafe Corner are both amazing sets, but this one has the better interior) 7641 City Corner (Easily the best set of the current City theme) Worsts: Just about anything from 2003

Some things that I am afraid of would be: -Heights -Hobos -Parasites -Belville Dolls -Those terrible MOCs in LEGO Club Magazine

I was just complaining about this one set. I'll wait for finalized pics before I rant 100%( ), I'm sure TLG wouldn't be dumb enough to give all the vehicles wheels. That's exactly what I thought, LOL! Power Miners minus lime green isn't really new, is it? But I would agree with Peppermint/Copmike/Darthperson that people always hate prelim pics.

Thank you for the heads up, Apache. I saw this coming after the SW magnets, Castle BPs, and Vintage Minifig Collections all had this crap material. I was thinking this might be a good army builder, but that material is just awful

I really hope that these aren't sets with just minifigs in them. It's nice to have little minifig packs, but I'd like to have more than 3 'normal' sets. This line might turn up the way I thought it would though. No set ideas.... To me, this sounds like Minifigs + boxes for them. Hopefully I am wrong. The minifigs didn't look very LEGOish, IMO (see, Oky isn't the only one that does that ), but I'll probably buy the sets, since I am a Toy Story fan.

Oh, god. CGI/live action, family comedy This kind of sounds like Rock Band to me. It hopefully will not end up as cheap Disneyish kids movie + minifigs instead of actual people

It might be too early to judge, but I'm not impressed This looks like underwater power miners. Seriously, I am so sick of those gigantic wheels.

Ackbar's head looks darker. At the time that this pic showed up, I assumed it was just something with this one photo.

I actually haven't seen the picture myself, but I remember reading a discussion somewhere talking about the flying dutchman's ship pictures. I'll look for that later.

Justin pretty much said it. That one picture was a fake, and TLG's license with Nick is done for now. I actually don't think a Flying Dutchman's ship would be that easy to make, because it's color is all glowy, and Lego pieces would be really ugly in that type of color. *pukes and dies* But really, you shouldn't mix those two up.

Some other new sets: 5979 Max Security Transport 8998 Toa Mata Nui 7747 Wind Turbine Transport 21005 Fallingwater (haha, 100 bucks) I wasn't expecting these until September

Today only at TRU: 25% off all LEGO city. You will need to use this coupon though.

I say that if they don't introduce new factions, the fantasy theme is dead. The Medieval Market Village was a great set, but the summer wave is about average. They didn't come up with anything new - The Drawbridge Defense was a tower raid + new figs, and the Trolls' Mountain Fortress was a redecorated Castle siege. They've done all they can do with the 4 factions, gimme elves.

I think that Market Street is gone for good, that's usually the case when an item is listed as sold out for a while. Cafe Corner probably has a couple of months left, and I wouldn't expect Green Grocer to disappear for another year, since it's a 2008 set. 7679 Republic Fighter Tank was available for less than 3 months. Stop reminding me!

Wow, the condition those are in is amazing! I didn't know that they made those modulex bricks, and that display case for the car is nice. Thank you for sharing

Most of my sets are displayed for a couple of months before getting taken apart. If a set is good for parts, and I don't want to destroy it, I'll get a second copy of it. I will usually decide to destroy the set though. My mom doesn't like it when I destroy a set, she thinks it is a waste

I didn't know about that map. It's interesting that they actually show an elf minifigure. I would've thought they would release elves this year though If they don't create new factions, I don't know how they can keep this line fresh. The summer wave didn't really introduce anything new.

I normally just use the numbered bags, like you're supposed to For larger builds that don't come with numbered bags, I open everything and seperate them by bag. The parts usually manage to mix together though

I believe my old collection included: 8566 Onua Nuva 8567 Lewa Nuva 8571 Kopaka Nuva 8587 Rakshi Panrahk 8590 Rakshi Guurahk 8596 Takanuva 8601 Vakama 8602 Nokama 8603 Whenua 8605 Matau 8606 Nuju 8612 Ehrye My current collection: 8972 Atakus 8974 Tarduk 8975 Berix 8981 Tarix 8982 Strakk 8983 Vorox

The little amount of time that a set is available for. And also, under the LEGO logo on every box, I'd put: 'It's leh-go, not lay-goes god damn it! '

Interesting. By the color, it doesn't look like they're Endor. Hopefully, they'll at least be OT. If they're Hoth, I'll probably skip 7749 Echo Base, since it's already a ripoff set *saves screeny before santy clause destroys thread* What about the Midi-Scale Falcon's box? It has Clown Troopers on the top of the box, but it's still an OT set. (I WIN!) That banner is from the older sets. They used it this year because it's the 10th anniversary. So OT isn't superior to 'some special skirt or something that clown trooper wears during only 1 20-minute episode'?

No license = no Tigers = no awesomeness

Well, I'm a baseball person, but I'm not sure about making baseball sets. I don't know how they could give a minifig a batting stance, and a baseball mitt might be The sets would have to be large, and it might turn out like that Sports theme. I don't think a baseball theme would be all that great, but since I'm a baseball person I'd probably buy the sets. Maybe a UCS field....

But hasn't that been there for weeks? lalala
