Well spotted. It must have been to late at night when I watched to realise what this would be

Did you?

Irrespective if it comes with an interior, Ecto 1 or a number of minifigs, this set is going to need a large box and is going to be fairly heavy with this piece count. Glad my nearest Lego store is near the car park and train station.

Hi LegoSjaak, most of the talk on the GBHQ is happing in the Licensed Forum. Heres a link to it. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114763&st=75#entry2336458

So looking forward to this coming out if is true. I'm sure Lego will make a great job of the official version, which I'm sure will have a decent interior. A build like this needs a high piece count just to make it look realistic and resemble the real building. Allot of bricks required to fit around the high Windows. I did a mock of this a few years back and like Brent used a lot of 1x2's to give the brick effect. Mine was a modular build but look forward to this being like the HH where it opens up for view of interior and playability, maybe a bit like Sergio's opening on his Ideas version. The dollar exchange is equivalent to £225.00 but think it's would be worth every penny.

I would be up for a re-release of one of the first 2 Modulars, more so the cafe corner even though I have bricklinked it as I just come out my dark age when it retired so missed the original. I think it would be best if the re-release came out with a new release if feasible. But if the re-release is the only one in that year and providing it is CC or GG, i think there would be less uproar as there probably wasn't so many AFOL's when CC was originally released than there was when the WV toy shop was released. My other reason for CC would be so I could get a couple of sets to make one of the enlarged versions that are shown at the end of instruction book 2.

My thoughts too! That would be OK in my book for the 10th official modular! Can't believe they have re-done a set from this line so soon! TLG putting more effort into other lines these days. IMO the winter village theme started going downhill with the release of the Santa's Workshop which moved away from the original builds. Oh well £59.99 to spend on other lego. ;-)

Hi 'Hemlock Falls'. I can't believe I never noticed your posts of this WIP before your latest post on Friday. Ive now read over your development of Hemlock Falls from the beginning. Your story is like many, in that you came out of a long 'dark age' and were bitten by the Lego bug and became an AFOL by finding your love of the brick again! And like many who have come out of a 'dark age', you have had a vision to create your own layout, but unlike many, you have managed to do it. You have come a long way in such a short space of time, not only by creating a town, but then having to disassemble it to move house and re-build it. I envy you having a basement room and look forward to seeing you expand 'Hemlock Falls'. Its not just a Modular layout slapped full of official Lego releases, it has your stamp on it. And there is nothing wrong with starting with official releases, as these are a great way to discover building techniques that where not around before your dark age and I'm sure you will learn from these and other peoples instructions you buy and start populating your display with your MOC's. Anyway, keep up the good work and I look forward to updates.

Should that not be dohnuts? :-)

Hopefully some of the prices that were listed were inaccurate. Im sure this has happened in the past with early news releases that prices turned out different. 60109 Fire Boat - at the 70 euro price this is going to be some boat compared to 7207. They may use the Hull from 60095 to get their monies worth out of the mold. 60111 Firefighting vehicle - I think you could be right going by the price quoted and I hope too that its not a ladder truck but more of a pumper. The last wave of firefighting had too many ladder trucks, ie 3, in my opinion. 60119 Ferry - I hope this is the wrong price quoted, otherwise its going to be small for 30 euros. When I first heard about a ferry, I thought of something similar to the Friends Dolphin Cruiser 41015 or something using the hull from boats 7207 or 7906. 60108 Fire extinguishing Unit - Is this going to be new station or an individual engine?

I would imagine that the Ferry Fire Response Unit is helicopter based so the firefighters get a quick response and are winched aboard like the MIRG are here in the uk

Wow! What a great set to find in you archive (1)Stein. Have 2 of these sets would be great as you could build one as per instructions and the other set as a mirror image to give a nice big engine workshop. Enjoy building them

Very well equipped Fire engines Criga88. I really like how you have made the Hydraulic Cutters (Jaws of Life) and Ram for the Heavy Rescue Tender.

Its not on the web site yet but saw it in the Falkirk Store on Thursday with loads of othe summer 15 city sets.

If you mean the Heavy Haul Train, smyths stores in the UK have it in stock @ £139.99

It is dissapointing to here that another modular has been rejected. But is it because it might be too similar to a future Lego modular release???? Or is that just wishfull thinking!

Thanks for posting a photo PastVPresent. Lucky that its available in the shop so early. The track is a similar oval to set 3677 but has x12 straight tracks instead of x8 so thats a plus and seems to be about same price mark as 3677 as price shown of 1499dk works out at £143.66 so with legoland prices being slightly dearer it is very similar price to 3677. And hope your enjoying the tour.

Hi Zusammengebaut! How did you manage to get your hands on one so soon?

Looking forward to the review of this set (60097). No wonder it has such a big box due to all those bags.

Really nice design you have created niteangel. The colour scheme sets it off well too.

Cool modern Fire station G0M. Looking forward to seeing more of this. As for the tiller truck, I always thought that this tractor unit was a resemblance to a Volvo rather than a Scania. Also might be better with a single rear axle to resemble a Tiller trailer? just a thought.

Pardon the pun but cool chilled meat display cabinet you have made 'LT'!

Cheers LT Thanks Vorkosigan! This set is quite heavily priced by the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate would make this £87 which would put me off at that price!

Hi. Here is my review of the City Arctic Icebreaker. I bought this set last year when it was released but kept it until early this year to build. Arctic Icebreaker set # 60062 Year released - 2014 Piece Count - 717 Pieces - 9 bags Instruction Manual - 6 Minifigures - 7 plus 4 huskies and 1 Polar Bear Price - £79.99, $129.99, e99.99 This set is similar to 60036 Arctic Base Camp, in that it is made up of a collection of smaller sets that can be played almost by themselves bu make up one big set. Box The front of the box artwork depicts all the playability of the set with all the minifigs in action shots. The rear is the now standard city and shows off actions shots from the set, aswell as what each of the 9 bags make up. The side panel shows off all 7 of the minifigs plus the Polar Bear and a Huskie. The 6 instruction manuals come in a protective bag, along with the sticker sheet. The contents of the box along with the Instruction manuals are, 9 bags, a Dark bluish Grey plate and the Boat base. Bag 1 & Instruction Manual 1 A good little play set in its own right. Comes with the Ice wall and 2 Ice Blocks, scene lighting and the polar bear. The Minifig from this bag is the Arctic Research Assistant with snow shoes. This minifig is the exact same as the Research Assistant from 60035 Arctic Outpost and 60036 Arctic Base Camp, which isn't too good if you have these set also. Bag 2 & Instruction Manual 2 Like bag 1, bag 2 has its own good play feature with the Tracked snowplough vehicle. comes with a load area at the rear and a heavy duty chain used to pull off sheets of ice from the ice wall or towing ice blocks. The minig is an Arctic Explorer and comes with full Arctic clothing and orange goggles. This minifig is also found in 60032 Arctic Snowmobile, 60035 Arctic Outpost and 60036 Arctic Base camp. Bag 3 & Instruction Manual 3 Bag 3 has the Huskie Sled dogs and sled. Although the sled is slightly different in design from the one in 60036 Arctic Base Camp, it also has a carry basket and is driven by the same female explorer albeit this time she has snow shoes. The female artic tunic differs from the male tunic as its more tailored at the waist. This female is also found in Arctic sets, 60034 Arctic Helicrane, 60064 Arctic Supply Plane and 850932 Polar Accessary set. Bag 4 & Instruction Manual 4 Bag 4 is a remote Research Lab. It comes with microscope, computer and satelite dish with aerial. There is also a fridge to preserve the ice crystals. The minifig with this bag is a scientist with orange sweater and white overcoat. Bag 5 & Instruction Manual 5 Bag 5 is the mini sized Helicopter which can be used to lift the equipment modules to and from the Ice breaker or for carrying the ice blocks using its onboard winch. It sits perfectly on the heli-pad of the Ice Breaker. the helicopter has many similarities with the mini sized helicopter from the Arctic Base Camp. The minifig with this bag is the helicopter pilot complete with Pilots leather jacket and helmet. Yet again this minifig is the same as the pilot from 60036. Bag 6 & Instruction Manual 5 Bag 6 see's a Large satelite dish which goes with the Remote research Lab. It also the a couple of items that are carried on the Ice breaker Boat, the equipment modules and the Snowmobile. The minifig from this bag is another Arctic Explorer, this time with green goggles. This explorer also comes in the following sets, 60033 Arctic Ice Crawler, 60035 Arctic Outpost, 60036 Arctic Base Camp x2, 60064 Arctic Supply Plane and 850932 polar Accessary Set. Bag 7 & Instruction Manual 6 Bag 7 is the first bag of the Ice Breaker boat build. It see's the boat's anchor, engine and sleeping accommodation being fitted along with the equipment module holders Bag 8 & Instruction Manual 6 Bag 8 sees the boats chimney/funnel fitted along with access ladders and the helipad fitted to the rear. Bag 9 & Instruction Manual 6 Bag 9 see's the build of the Wheel House and the Ice Breaker completed. The minifig with this bag is the Ice Breaker's Captain.He sports a streotypical Captains beard and his torso comes with a White marine sweater and Orange blouson jacket. Overall Ratings Parts: 8 - Good variety of parts. Works out at 11.16p, 18.13c & 13.946c per part depending where you buy it. The Figs: 9 - There are 7 in this set which is a decent number and the Huskie prints are great and due to the blend mix of these dogs, each one should be deifferent, I am reliably informed. The only let down is that many of the Minigfigs in the Arctic theme are the same as stated throughout this review. Build & Model(s): 8 - All the builds are fun and easy to make. And because of the way they are seperate builds, you don't ned to do them all at once. Playability: 10 - This set really has lot's of playability; Boat, Helicopter, Tracked vehicle & Huskies with sled, not forgetting the small snow mobile. Value for Money: 8 - Not too bad for what you get but would have liked it to come in about £10 cheaper, but then what would TLG have left out if it was. Overall: 9 - A great set from a theme that I like personnaly. This set is designed for great fun play and is good as a stand alone set, but is also a great companion to the rest of the Arctic theme.

Cheers Firebrickbuilder. God knows what TLG will do to create a realistic aerial boom. Don't know if they will justify the price of a new mold for this unless they can use it for a variety of models!
