Hi EBers! I like Valve's game Portal 2 a lot, and I found the video below, which I found so special, I wanted to share it with you. You might need to know the story of Portal and Portal 2 in order to fully understand the video. The video is a contest entry for the Valve Music Video Contest. Some of the best entries (including the winners of the contest) can be found here: http://www.thinkwithportals.com/videocontest/ Enjoy!

Well, I consider the Emerald Night (#10194) a must-have and it isn't as expensive as either 7938 or 7939. For a city I would recommend 7938 first, and if your budget is big, just buy all 3

Haha that really made me laugh @blakeatron: welcome to Eurobricks and have fun with the new sets

Done I like that LEGO is listening to the fans! They should have events in more countries (not only USA, Denmark, Germany and UK).

I cannot view the image above, anyone experiences the same?

Ah yes, then you would need an extra receiver...

You don't need anything else to get this to work. If I am correct, you should simply change the position of one of the two small black switches on the controller. 8879: http://shop.lego.com/en-NL/LEGO-Power-Functions-IR-Speed-Remote-Control-8879?c=Train-Accessories-Trains-ByTheme 8885: http://shop.lego.com/en-NL/LEGO-Power-Functions-IR-Remote-Control-8885?c=Power-Functions-ByTheme

If you compare RC to PF trains, the difference in functionality is only the horn (if you add the PF lights to your train). PF has (in my opinion) a huge advantage on RC though; the ability to control up to 8 trains with one controller.

In the 2011 catalog, it states the Unimog will be released in October, so it has been delayed for two months? Well, we'll just have to wait I guess...

So get the 8258 and modify it with a basket of some sort...

I own both sets you mentioned, and I prefer both for different reasons. As for the aesthetics: I prefer 8285, since it just looks massive. However, the model itself isn't robust at all (unlike 8258). It is possible to twist the frame several degrees. Motorized functions are not a pro for me, and 8258 has an additional problem; the batteries cant be replaced easily (without taking a piece of the model apart). Both have cons and pros, but for me they all cancel each other out, so I rate both sets as very good (8,5/10).

I only have two trains so far, since I'm more of a Technic fanatic! 4565 cargo (9v) and 10194 emerald night, I plan on getting 10219 and/or 7938

I might be interested in this, depending on the price. (NL, Euro?)
