No Target Practice Polybags at Target All Kingdoms sets were gone waiting for next shipment but I did get 7949 (finally managed to get one) and it being my first kingdoms set I must say the line is brilliant.I love all the goodies I would have gotten the Castle but like I said none left. I was also surprised there was no shipping mark ups, even though it wasn't much compared to other countries (example; $100 set is usually $110 +, $1 extra per $10 but doesn't apply to everything, Impulse was marked up $1.50 to $5.) Also found one S3 Elf at Walmart I had to go through the entire box to find and it was the last one However I am not a fantasy person so I listed the elf headgear for sale in my BL store. I plan to use the parts for a forestman/noble or so. Also BL order of other Castle items

Cool topic Here are some parts that I think everyone would like: (sorry if they have been mentioned already) Deer (Male/Female/Juvenile) Sheep Duck ( like new chicken) Squirrel ( could be like the new chicken part rest on a stud or like a rat) Donkey/Mule Cypress Tree redesign (just a little shorter maybe 1/4 inch) Pony (in new colors) Different Breeds of dogs (or new dog in different colors and markings)

Greetings Customizers! I am in the need of your graphic and decal skills, what I need is a updated Black Falcon torso design. You can see the original here. I want to keep the classic logo the same but integrate it into modern castle torso designs. I would appreciate three different designs, think Knight, solider and solider 2. I think this is going to be a fun challenge for everyone. Here you could sub the lion for the Black Falcon insignia and change the color scheme maybe to black/blue like the breastplate and chain mail. Also front and rear torso decals. Here are some other ones you could convert here and here. It need not be limited to Kingdoms minifigs either, it could be drawn from scratch with basic elements in mind like armor/belt etc. Have fun too. Please and Thank you very much.

Some more ideas I thought of for Kingdoms: Going along with a Forestmen Faction, Forest: $20-$40 Includes 2 Pine Trees, 3 small pine trees, 1 cypress tree (new mold). Also includes brickbuilt trees and other foliage. Also included 1-2 Forestmen, 1 generic noblemen (either faction) new torso and accessories. The action feature of this set is a hunt in the forest, includes 1-3 deer (male/female/juvenile), (new police dog) mold but in a different color and with new markings, long bow, short bow, crossbow, quivers (maybe a deer shield) . Also includes 1-2 Horses in either brown/grey/tan colors. and for a 4th faction for the following year, Black Falcons remade same logo but new torsos and updated gear/weapons. New Fortress maybe on a new raised baseplate that actually is nice. If not I will do this myself Other new parts that would be cool: Sheep, Chrome Black longsword, Bear (Polar in Brown/Black) or a new Bear mold altogether. Donkey/Mule, squirrels, fox

I bought 7949 Prison Carriage Rescue S3 Fisherman

For primary themes for me it would be ( I can not place a # on them) Town/City (at one point they merged/became the same) Trains Castle Pirates For Subthemes Black Falcons Forestmen Divers Ninjas

I think I have a new one Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Hot Dog Vendor/Seller Type of headgear: short cap with hot dog print/logo Type of facial expression: smile or grin Color on torso/legs: red/blue/yellow any color Accessory: Handheld hotdog "box", hot dogs! Gender: Male Occupation/print on torso: Crusader Type of headgear: new crusader helm Type of facial expression: battle face Color on torso/legs: classic grey/white/red scheme Accessory: new crusader longsword, shield and shoulder bag

I totally agree with this, the one thing that could have saved it would have been a RED Parka instead of the green one. Has this been pointed out that the new dog is in the set and santa is holding a new bone piece?? Or is that just a "faux" scene. I also agree with you on this, there was great potential with this boat set, it doesn't really capture a fishing boat IMO, it looks more like a lake pleasure almost speedboat like boat. (there is a shark included so that means ocean fishing ) To improve it the front is much too sleek for a fishing boat, the helm should be located more toward the front of the boat leaving more deck room in the back. Also I would have liked to see 2 fishing poles on each side and 1 of the new shorter fishing poles from the collectible figs. I wish they had given us some new torsos in this set too. The bridge is crazy whenever our marinas built over peninsulas? I would have liked more dock space instead of the bridge with a larger surf/rental shop/ 1-2 slips at least for boats, longboards as well as the new shortboard part, a kayak perhaps? I also hope we get another one We need more civilian sets, hopefully a Main Street throwback with Hotel/Misc Cafe/Post office maybe? etc

I also greatly appreciate this, I love how they throw in new parts to different themes. Before I didn't think it was very common (?) Especially licensed sets but as with the Indiana Jones shoulder bag piece, which had other very useful applications, so does the "grog" bottle. It is a beautiful new part, and I really like it, I wonder if they will do it in other trans colors or even earthenware colors. Oh yeah what is the golden tumbler? (goblet?)

1 of each

I got the Jester Impulse at Wal-Mart ( Impulse are very hard to find here ) Going to Target, hopefully they have the Kingdoms sets in yet

I would hope for late 2011 or 2012 LEGO does these sets: Service/Gas Station, we need a new one badly the last one form 07 is around $80 new at Bricklink! I never was able to find it in stores because it was a TRU exclusive. Postal Office, again this is at the top of the list aswell, TLG missed the boat when they made the Postal/Cargo sets back in 08, we need a proper one, and would be logical since they made the Bank this year after some 5-10 years hiatus. Possibly a post office could be done in a City Corner version 2 with a grocery or cafe and hotel and misc vehicles. A zoo would also be great, one large zoo with enclosures and then you can purchase separately Main Zoo $50-100 Zoo entrance, shops, 3-4 enclosures, zoo jeep/hummer/land rover with feeder trailer or animal transport trailer, zoo truck Elephant Exhibit, large enclosure with modular fencing, 1-2 elephants, baseplate yes and misc plants, zebras (horse/ black/white stripe) New lion or tiger mold for another exhibit. Loads of other possible new animal molds. Additional zoo add ons misc animal enclosures $10-30 Misc animals, from past or new molds

Maybe I was a little harsh at first

2 Series 3 Figs at Walmart! Excited because they never carried the previous 2 series. They turned out to be the Hula Girl and Baseball player. I also got 2 8403 50% off at Target

Very nice set, I just wish it had more Maersk blue parts Actually it has plenty, I really like that it has 3 Maersk Blue Construction Helmets! I was a bit skeptical I don't really like American Cargo Train engines, preferring European, but this grows on you. However I want more Maersk Blue Train elements I feel the urge to change the color scheme of all Trains to it It has to be my favorite LEGO color, everything should be it, I wish my rank star icon was maersk blue I hope we get a new Maersk Container truck? EDIT: I just watched the designer video and I loved it! Very enjoyable.

oh man this Kingdoms line just gets better and better, I love it The Wind Mill set is a must have! Return of pitchfork, new chickens and goats!! What is next? a remake of the cypress tree? lets hope so I thought the ;pitchfork was long gone. blacksmith shop has loads of great new castle parts! also a small sweet set. The carriage I am divided, I would have saved that set for a forsetmen faction, and $40 is kinda pricey. As for the last one, the Dragon Knights prison wall thing is the weakest set IMO, but it does have this once again TLG puts something we want into a set we wouldn't normally get lucky day it is only $20

This would be for the Kingdoms theme; New "faction" I use that term very loosely lol, Forestmen! Same old classic Forestmen hat, new faces, torsos and that new bow! Peasant Hut: $19.99 Includes 1-2 small peasant homes or 1 large one. Included fence pieces that can be arranged in a modular manner to keep the farm animals safe. Notable accessories include: Brown Horse, Chickens, and maybe a new sheep mold, pitchfork, hay bales, buckets and other misc items. Also included either a nice brickbuilt tree or spruce single mold tree (would live a cypress but that is ridiculous lol) Minifigs includes 2 peasants and Forestman who could either steal farm animals or give something. Forestmen Hideout: $49.99 Pretty much self explanatory, a nicely constructed hideout, multiple brick built trees and some single mold trees about 2-4, remake of cypress tree would have to be a new mold, possibly slightly shorter than original. 2-3 Forestmen, Lion Knights in wagon carrying misc gold/treasure or a knight. Possibly a throwback of 6079 and 6071

That train is awesome, thanks to all the members who have brought info/pics and of course confirmation TLG has just lit a fire under me, I plan to get the current Cargo Train asap (before August at least) I don't know if its production cycle will end then but I am not going to risk it This new track repair train fits in nicely with the new harbor set. For shopping list mine is getting bigger and bigger, Cargo Train, Public Transport (plus parts to powerize), Bank Transfer, and Harbor. Extra track, level crossing, marina, train station, fishing boat and might have to pick up the Farm off Bricklink. I might have to wait on this until next year. the subtopic description on this thread should be, we were definitely not ready for this

Thanks for the pictures! This is my first comment about the 2011 sets (hehe) I will start with the smaller speedboat. It is nice and looks very sleek I would compare with 8402 Sports Car which is not a must have but nice to have. I just wish they had did some water accessories like buoys/fish/shark or something. It is a little "plain" IMO so I may/may not pick up. The Fishing boat is really nice. I compared it with pictures of my past favorite civilian boat 4011 Cabin Cruiser, which I think is nicer. It doesn't seem very "fishing" boat like. It reminds me more of the boats from the Divers line which I really liked. So this one is still nice and I will buy. Skipping the Speedboat (which I do not like) and onto the Marina. When I first saw it a few days ago I was going crazy but now I have had time to pick at it. Definitely not a Sail N Fly Marina. (hehe) I like it but it seems lacking in construction. I don't think I like the bridge area and would have preferred the whole marina being connected or set up in variety of ways like City Corner could be. I don't like the lime green/orange diver fins??? Dune Buggy/Powerboat/windsurfer is "meh". Diving Flag and "Paradise Cafe" throwback are nice. Lifeguard I will replace with the Collectible Minifigs series 2 lifeguard I will get this but hesitantly and probably on clearance. Now for what I think is the strongest set, the Harbor. I love it It is reminiscent of classic town harbors from the 90s. I wish i had gotten the 07 Harbor so that I could combine the two. I love how it is a grain ship w/weetabix/farm logo. The loading crane and truck are really nice. I also appreciate the harbor office and fisherman. Yes I am getting this one for sure out of all them.

Thanks! I will be checking them out! Thank you also, you have done a great job, I will be reading that aswell

Has anyone done a mod on the Tram so it functions as a train? If so link please

There is too much to keep track of, maybe you should update the first post of this thread, and there is still a problem I can't change the board theme, I don't want themes forced on me

Problem: I can not seem to select a forum skin I prefer anymore?
