Big Pete

I'm so tempted to see if my local TRU has this ... and if so, buy it and cancel my order in the US (to be picked up in person later in 2007) ... but, I first need to find out how much the Hoth Base will be in the UK. Two sets in the USA came to

it can spray water, as far as I remember ... it's an accessory for kids so they can play at being a fireman, along with the fireman hat / dressing up kit that Lego also sell. They do similar things for the Pirate Lines yadda yadda yadda. For kids, this is probs a good little addition!

looks like a much better model than we first though :) that speeder bike is a big improvement :D

i have relatively few "spare" parts and they're all kept in a couple of large draws all mixed together. Afterall, there is no better sound than stirring through a big box of Lego to get the bit you want! ;-) Sure, it's a little annoying if you can't find what you want quickly, but isn't that half the fun ? X-D

you could always get broadband instead ? ;)

look for the words "Click To Play" too ;)

it's K3P0 ... and who knows (or cares), maybe the first photo was an early shot before they decided to incude the figure ?

the first picture may well be hosted on photobucket, but it has been taken from Toyrus.com here : http://toysrus.com/graphics/coupon/r2757155_rebatecoupon.pdf see page 2 Also, if you go here : http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?cate...ftnav_brand_txt you'll see a video which clearly features the figure! (btw ... all this has been posted before in this thread ... maybe you should read it? ;) )

sorry for asking a potentially noob question ... but is there a LUG for England ?

;)

well, it doesn't expressly state that it's US only ... so, for the cost of sending a postcard to the US, I think it's worth the risk!

quick question about the old design ... is it supposed to sit on the trans clear piece or is it supposed to sit on the legs (so that the trans clear piece is clear of the surface it's standing on) ? I've always set them up like the latter ...

man! this is awesome! I can only imagine the old one will look so crap next to this one of the shelf!! *lol*

looks like you need to go to Bricklink or ebay .... oh, and have a stash of cash ready! Gunships ain't cheap!

i'm looking forward to this set ... looks great :) thanks for the review!

nice looking set ... shame about the stickers, but hey, you don't *have* to apply them! :) My RGS was bought from ebay without stickers and to be honest, it doesn't look any worse without them! :)

the answer is no ... read the back of the card and you'll see that Legoland shops are exempt.

This site will help you : http://www.legoland.co.uk/ 1) No idea on the transport ... I've always driven, but never from Central London. 2) Are you going with kids ? If so, you'll need longer. Also, it depends on what day you go ... if you can, go during the week when the kids are at school 3) I would doubt they have any special offers just before they close ... they have in the past had a Clearance Tent in the car park, but it wasn't there when i went a couple of weeks ago. They did have a clearance tent of parts, selling various bags of bits for
