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 ;)

Oh my, I must be old. Minuses: It's studless It's RIS incompatible It's using something even more anti-programming as as default It looks like some @#$%! Mac or iPod or whatever It still has only 3+3 ports All the sensors/motors are large and bulky Motors are specialized Pluses: It has faster processor Althought incompatible, the cables look interesting 2 new sensors

It's in english on lego.com, guys *satis* Duplo will be made by Flextronics in Hungary. Bionicle packaging in Czech Republic. That's it. Close to the Kladno factory and new Prague world distribution centre.

Hi, in this blog entry http://www.bricksonthebrain.com/blog/index...m?commentID=418 Jake said, that all European S@H stuff is shipped from Billund. If that's true (can some happy member confirm that), isn't it strange that there are differences between various European countries not only concerning the prices (_THEY_ will always argue about the taxes, but the differences are minimal) but also when it comes to sales? Do you feel this is acceptable today, in the interconnected world to make such _artificial_ differences, when people could with one click of a mouse find out they're shamelessly shaving people in ________ (fill in your country)?

Oooh... dirty practices here... deleting the 'news'... FBTBism... :'(

If anybody is interested, I'm going by full disclosure policy here :P Masks are removable, minifigs are flesh toned.

I said 'one of the most important', not 'the most important'. LEGO is produced in Denmark, Czech Republic, China and Switzerland (closing production). Also all the European distribution centres are going to be closed and moved here. Now guess what country I'm talking about. (Hint, hint: see my sig :P )

You've missed one of the most important countries when it comes to LEGO production |-D |-D |-D

The 'hull' consists of several top/down 8x8 or 8x16 pieces. Wings are one _long_ part. I don't like 2006's City Airport/Hospital at all. OTOH, construction subtheme... ;)

99.9% stickers

Not sure what you mean by store? *satis* If you mean my great IKEA storage space, have a look here (don't bother reading the text) http://www.kostky.org/forum/index.php?topic=684.0 The previous version of doors is here: http://news.lugnet.com/technic/?n=13410 Should be almost the same as the final used on the station.
