  1. Well with the current rumours flying around and coming from previously reliable sources who post them there is to be atleast an ambulance in 2012 but no sign of a hospital/medical theme at the beginning of 2012. Here's hoping since TLG are creating a new police and fire theme that we might get our wish in the later part of the year and TLG make 2012 an emergency services theme year by adding a hospital/medical theme. Fingers crossed
  2. Well with that news is that not more likely to bump up the price on the secondary market as it will become harder to buy each part to build your own from scratch?
  3. I too wish lego would put more parts on PAB, this way you can build your own over time rather than pay high prices on the open market for parts. But then again the parts being rare help put up the price of the individual sets. TLG will no doubt have noticed the high prices of the cafe corner set and individual part prices and may decide to introduce the parts to PAB.
  4. Here's hoping Lego are paying paying attention to what the customer is looking for as Im sure there are many out there that are interested in a Hospital/medical theme.
  5. This is what Im kind of hoping for too as I put in my previous post about a hospital theme. Seems about the best way for lego to do this as people can then decide how big they want to make their own hospital with add ons.
  6. Hi I too would like to see a new/updated Hospital/Medical theme series for 2012/13. Whether this is on the "City" line or Town Modular would depend but then again the modular fire station came out in 2009 then the latest city Fire station came out in 2010 so what about both for buyers of each style of sets. If its "City" I would like to see a series similar to what they have for the police. Currently the Police series has 9 seperates to add/go together. First a decent size hospital on a flat base similar in size to the latest Police Station (7498) with similar amount of minifigures (6), those being 2 x nurses, 2 x doc and 2 x patients. It would have a better Ambulance/casualty drop off area outside Accident & Emergency dept/ER, unlike the ramp version on Hospital set 7892. For this they could use 2 x Dark bluish gray baseplates, Road 16x16 with driveway, joined together to make a sort of drive-thru drop off under a canopy. There would have to be atleast an A&E/ER plus a reception area on ground floor, a theatre and ICU on 1st floor and recovery ward area on 2nd floor. The vehicles would be at least 1 ambulance and one othertype but this would increase the minifig count by at least 3, 2 for Amb and one for other vehicle. To add to the hospital series there could be a few more in line with the police series. These could be (includes comparison to Police sets to get idea of content and price) Paramedic Fast Response set with car or van similar to 7902 and motor bike with 2 Medic's, one for each vehicle plus eqpt and a patient. (similar to set 3648) Medical minifigure set - 2 nurses and 2 patients plus bed and drips resembling Doc and patient set 4936 from 2007 (similar to set 7279) Rescue Helicopter - updated from rescue helicopter 7903 but same as latest police helicopter with 3 medic's & 1 Patient (similar to set 3658) Ambulance - Separate ambulance maybe American style like some of the good MOC's that are out there as most people would like to have more than one ambulance. 2 x medics and 1 patient (similar to set 7286) Ambulance Stn - Update to paramedic unit from "town" 6364 but could have a Station similar to Fire station 7249 from 2005 but with roller doors at the garage and come with 1 ambulance and 1 car and 3 medics (similar to set 3661) Medical centre - similar to Bank money transfer, but can be attached to the hospital with 2 or 3 docs plus 2 patients. This could have an amount of stickers so several could be bought to be different hospital wards such as maternity etc (similar to set 3661) Air Ambulance - Updated plane from model 2064 in 2007 but with 2 medics and patient Doc & patient - Re release of set 4936 or 7267 (promo set) in a poly bag. Well seems like a lot but would create a decent series. If on the other hand they made a Town Modular build this would follow that series and have great architecture but not have all the bolt on's like "City" would.
  7. Hi Rufus Dont feel bad foor being over critical. Isn't that what a personal review is about. If it needs to be criticised them so be it. After building it with my son I agree with you whole heartedly. I missed out on the 2007 Harbour as I hadnt got back into lego at that point but want one. For me the crane is too prone to breaking off its pedestal! Plus like you I can't understand why the conveyor tilts backwards. The colour scheme reminded me like others of the mechanic garage from yester year. And I'm another that doesnt understand why the road is not raised like previous harbours. Onto the boat and this is probably now a standard base for lego. Makes economical sense for them. But for the bridge and accomodation well think not much imagination has been put into this. The cargo which is meant to be grain probably would have been better being round plates instead. A couple more minifigures would have been nice especially another harbour labourer and a couple on the boat. Anyway I was fortunate to buy this when ToysRUs had a 20% off weekend and coupled with a £5 off voucher it brought the price down to about £53 which for me makes it a more reasonable price. Cheers
  8. Hi Do you have instructions for these as I would like to build these for my own station
  9. Hi Realy like your fire engines. 2 of the best European moc's I have seen. How did you do it?
