  1. Outpost Attack 50% off Target.
  2. Yes one more thing on Sandy's comment, KD can use his money for whatever he wants, and he/us are not hoping in blind faith. For example, Western/Wild West is obviously on TLGs mind, as we have seen 4 figs featured in the CM series, (Tribal Hunter, Chief, Cowboy and Mexican) now albeit there also has been plenty of ones that match and we don't see those themes but maybe they are testing the waters to say?? Now other examples, fans wanted Pirates brought back, what happened? They brought them back in 2009. Fans wanted Ninja brought back, what happened? It came back as Ninjago, now not everyone was expecting that If TLG sees enough interest and can profit from it, then why not?
  3. I agree. Yes very true.
  4. Hello, I never doubted the authenticity of it, I like Brickdoctor am just curious what it looked like
  5. 4193 London Escape for $40 at the TRU sale.
  6. I voted for Classic Pirates, I just built my first (and probably last if they don't make any new ones) POTC set yesterday and it did have nice new parts and figs the colors were all bland for my taste. Compared to Mill Village Raid which had an excellent pallet of nogut, dark tank and brown, and classic Pirates like the new IFS which has wonderful colors. They just aren't as visually appealing. I also wish TLG could have stuck with yellow figs forever. It is like with trains when they went with PF and away from 9v they are backwards compatible but I want all my LEGO to be compatible 100% of the time. The peach or flesh color look ok when they are together but doesn't look right IMO when with my yellow pirates. A shame.
  7. Great entry! The floor technique is clever and I like the effect. I hope TLG makes a smaller version of this set and gives us a donkey mold.
  8. I agree with your improvements and edited them so, thanks!
  9. A good point about prelims, remember the Battank prelim? And do not forget Jabba's sail barge prelim image had Cloud City Boba and two other figs I really hope they do some improvements and also consider adding in the kraken.
  10. snip, very nice, any pics of the certificate?
  11. Hey guys thanks for all the suggestions I have decided that this is the final version. Now unto the grammar check, let me know if I missed anything?
  12. Unless they make it better than we are expecting.
  13. How about a Colonial theme?
  14. Lion Princess Lion Knight Horse barding (silver armor) Cypress Tree
  15. This is amazing I thought not one of them would ever show up. You wouldn't happen to have the silver TC14 or Bronze Boba?
  16. TRU BOGO Series 4 Soccer Player Artist
  17. I still use old grey on strictly on old grey models only such as 10020 and new grey on new models and never mixing the two. I don't mind them next to each other for example on a car or spaceship because there are different colors/shades of "steel" in real life
  18. You get what you pay for, I will say
  19. I would like to see it return and add my name to the petition. Now of course it will probably be a new system which I think is reasonable with the suggestions mentioned. Which is fine with me, also how many of the old Monorail collectors have large amounts of track to get displaced, they would happily buy the new system, simply because we would be grateful to get a new Monorail. Now about the popularity of Monorails as a transportation and not being futuristic I would strongly disagree with all of those statements. Now on the basis TLG could call it something different for example Maglev Train, albeit not actually using magnetic levitation but who cares really? Now Maglev's are being used currently and broadening in popualrity and is one of the forerunner ideas to improve ir replace trains, so why not make a Monorail LEGO set and call it a Maglev? Also at many airports worldwide we have" Airtrains" who doesn't like riding those? Now a Maglev is futuristic and could be used in a space theme. But I see the real use in City. Just imagine a redesign and updated Airport Shuttle sitting on a LEGO store shelf who wouldn't be drawn to it? Monorails are better than Trains, if trains sell so can Monorails, they have elevate track which has an extra "wow" factor, a great addition and IMHO would sell extremely well in todays market.
  20. Thanks for those links. It will probably be $150 USD similar price to the passenger train. 7939 is a better value still. No points, that is a shame whatever happened to TLG saying they can give us alot more track now since it is no longer metal plated??? Unless they count more flexible track Boxcar, ballast loader and Engine are nice though. EDIT: Red battery box, molded plastic or sticker? still to see? If it is molded plastic red and those of you who want to use the official battery box ($50 one) I believe if it is like the AAA version you can unscrew it and lift the top section out and place it in the red box?
  21. Trolley: $40-$50 400-500 parts Trolley such as or based off the ones used in San Fransisco. A single car nicely brickbuilt with nice wooden colors , minifigs include driver and 2 passengers. Also has the option to easily add the PF parts. The IR reciever could be in the middle or one end, battery box underneath and motor replaces one set of wheels. I think it would be popular and sell well because for a Trolley you only need one car to have fun, and also you can buy multiples if you want multiple Trolleys in your City.
  22. Noticed a similar topic in the Train forum, thought it would be appropriate here. So how many ships do you have in your fleet? For me currently I have two. Pirate: 6268 Renegade Runner Imperial Soldiers (Bluecoats/French): 6274 Caribbean Clipper
  23. Suggestions taken in and edited. Word count is now 296
  24. I think the sails are fine and should stay as they are. They are the best part of the ship along with the black hull. If you want holes in them get a hole puncher out and destroy your copy It is based on the second movie not the first.
  25. Nice Haul, YMMV? My Targets didn't even have any CM 4 yet
