I'd say the exact opposite about the bus. I expected it to be another city bus (for example an articulated one - that would have been awesome) but this is clearly modelled after a coach used for long(er) range travel. Which is a minor disappointment in my books. I also hope that it doesn't have doors on both sides but it seems like it does.:s The tram looks nice, too bad that it runs on normal wheels probably. But that was to be expected, I guess. Let's hope it will be easy to mod it. The rest of the set seems like an afterthought (except for that nice little sweeper - but that could have been released elsewhere/alone), especially that wannabe shop. One single but bigger (inter-modal) stop with a cashier`s office, a newspaper kiosk and maybe a small shop with the bus arriving to one side of the stop while the tram to the other would have been infinitely better. It's still a nice set which I'd surely buy if I could afford collecting City+Trains besides Castle - which I can't at this point. Maybe later.

Hello everyone! To be honest I'm not too enthusiastic about this new theme. I simply loved Fantasy Era and that was what got me to return to collecting Lego (though the Viking ship was close to succeed already a few years before.) I think most of the sets of Fantasy Era were great, on par with the classics of the 80s and early 90s and at the same time very fresh, too. Orcs, trolls and dwarves were all great and I think there were further possibilities in the theme. Kingdoms is (are?) a lot closer to the roots but because of this I find it a bit dull. Maybe if more factions are introduced and/or they expand on the civilian side of medieval life it will get better in this regard. At this point though I'm not too interested in the big sets but some of the new torsos, the new great helm and so on are great, so I'll be getting the small sets and impulses probably.
