It might be that the judge gets the same mold but with a different color or with different printing.

I am between jobs right now and are not made of money :) Plus, the things the house cleaner did are things I would have never gotten right (e.g. cleaning the oven)

It may be that the Indian reuses an existing part for their hair (same part, same color) and the motorcycle mechanic has the Mohawk :) But yeah until we see actual official pictures (or the set) there is no way to be sure what it could be.

That Jazz Musician sounds AWESOME, I just hope he has a saxophone (would much rather one of those than a trumpet or a trombone) I hope the scientist has a good generically-usable lab coat torso/legs, I have so many places where such a thing could be used :) How are people figuring out which bits go with which fig? The list in the first post lists the black Mohawk as being for the tomahawk guy but I think it could be the hair for the motorcycle mechanic (bikers with Mohawks are definatly not unheard of, especially in the Hollywood/fictional view of what bikers are)

Looking at that picture, I am now thinking the robot set is lime green. Also, most of the parts in that picture exist in lime green, essentially NONE exist in olive green

Nice one, I love Star Control 2. Some of the ships will be interesting to build though (the Spathi Eluder for example seems like a nice challenge)

As someone who had a Black Seas Barracuda as a kid (got it for learning to ride my bike) and has since added the reissue Black Seas Barracuda to his adult collection (thanks Toys R Us for that :) I gotta vote for the original.

Based on the pics, the Eagle could be cool (interesting idea not done before in LEGO) The white sports car looks interesting, that piece on the roof could be cool and it looks like it has some other nice parts. If the robot is lime green it would be worth picking up as it looks like its got some nice parts. If its olive green, its not so good :) The house looks ok, not too bad for what it is IMO.

If only I didn't have to spend money getting the pros in to clean my house for an upcoming rent inspection I could go buy a Town Hall or a Pet Shop :( Also, does anyone know of the Australian release date for the new Hobbit sets?

One promotional set (well at least its suspected that its a promo set) that is totally unknown is the Classic Space set 1526. It would be good to find history about this unknown set. Bricklink says it was never released and all that is known to exist is a prototype box yet somehow Bricklink has an inventory for it. I do wonder if there are any other unreleased, rare, extremely-limited-run or unknown Classic Space sets out there

Does anyone know the Australian release date for the Hobbit sets?

I am loving this set even more now. But more so, I MUST get that new head with the glasses (on the green guy with the sweater). Lets hope its available in a smaller set :)

Nice UTE, really captured the look of the old Holden 1-tonner :)

This is amazing.

I believe the reason the Ferrari parts are stickers is because LEGO has a rule about not printing the names of real world companies and entities (as opposed to the made up companies in e.g. the Disney/Pixar universe) on bricks and that the rule means any real world companies and entities need to be stickers.

If anyone is looking for the Friends advent calendar, David Jones Perth CBD has a good supply of them.

You need a diesel pump :)

I could see the plumber coming with the same toolbox as the mechanic but in a new color, light grey maybe. Maybe a pipe wrench (new mold or a re-do of the old pipe wrench). Or maybe a plunger piece. The judge could be interesting especially if it does come with the much-wanted judges wig. Downtown Cop sounds interesting, always need more variety in my police force :) I wish they would do more musicians (with more instruments) though :(

Awesome IKEA, you really captured the the feel of an IKEA store (just like the one I went to the other day :)

Why do you say that LEGO is so unlikely to use a 2 x 12 or 2 x 14 brick if they have a reason to make such a part?

Those discounts on the robbers hideout and TRU truck almost make them worth buying... (I did say almost :)

DJs Perth has just done a full re-stock including the Town Hall and at least 1/2 dozen Emporiums. At $300, the Town Hall is a bit more than I can afford to spend on LEGO right now (plus none of the bits in it are bits I have any real use for) If they did a modular with a large amount of dark blue brick content, THAT I would buy :) Still kicking myself that I didn't find out about the local availability of the Green Grocer a few years back until it was too late :(

Definatly need to wait for a %off sale then if I am going to get any of them (although I already have the emporium and dont think another one is worth buying :)

Anyone seen a price on that DJs town hall? Or any other modulars re-stocked (e.g. petshop)?

Awesome Koenigsegg (I say this as a lover of supercars and a lover of all things Scandanavian :) Just wish I had the parts (and time) to build something cool like this. I wonder which other colors it would be possible to build this in...
