My padawans, let me present to you that glorious and beautifull Port !! �I am not worthy, I�m not worthy� (oh *yoda* , do shut up and review the glorious set !!). I really think that this set is the best �07 city sets (I was waiting so long for another port, meessa so happy !!). Really 2 thumbs up to TLC for this !! I hope you�ll enjoy this looong review as much as I love that set. There are 3 instructions manuals and a HUGE DSS (darn you TLC !!): Here is a general view of the whole set: I shall review that set according to the instructions booklets so lets go !! 1/The truck There is nothing really to notice about that MF, another boring classic fig that we have lots off. On the other hand, the truck is really neat. It comprises the main body and a classic container (like the one shown in my review of 7992). Off course the truck can transport all the other containers (see �2). 2/The ship *the extras* I tend to like those 2 figs: the technician and the lovely captain (who senses a �Love Boat� MOC :-D lolol). Than there are the 3 containers: a classic green, a simple one with 4 �italien� barrels. The truly great one is the small power boat Container. The small boat is quite simple but looks great !! Tks to the use of one of the best Lego parts ever: the 1x1 slope *the ship* Now the interesting stuff really starts !! Ok, its hard to take decent pics due to the bloody size of that ship (58 cms/22,8 in long !!). On a side note, I did not use the huge �City Lines� stickers on the hull (I might add them later, I�m not really sure). Like you imagined, the ship floats and has underneath the hull the spot to attach an electric motor (not included in the set). Now lets focus on the details of that ship: The front is quite simple � it has what a ship needs: an anker, lights and an opening to place whatever fits in hehe (on a side note, its weird to notice that there are NO life vests on that ship � not very precautious Lego !!). The mid section is only to hold all those crates !!

I agree Sne that this set is a bit overpriced compared to the other line !! I paid 25

Ok my Padawans, *yoda* strikes again but city style :-P !! Its only normal since City is my second favorite theme ! Enough of that and lets hit the review, shall we ? (d�oh, that was a rethorical question those of you who said yes :-D lololol). Enjoy !! This quite small set is a great addition to the �harbour� sub theme (at least its how I view it). First here is a pic of the small instruction booklet and darn DSS !! 1/MF & Extras Its too bad that this set only comprises 1 MF, especially that this MF has nothing new (pretty boring actually). In fact, let me do a parallel with SW (yes, even in city mind you !!): oh yeay yet another Boba !! I don�t have a huge collection of city sets, but I do have this fig in a lot of multiple (oh well...). The intersting extras are the Containers. There are two different ones: a big classic red one (I do say classic because there is thre same in the Port set) that opens, and an open one which can hold the crate with red barrels + the two �italien� barrels (due to the coloring hehe). 2/Vehicle This vehicle is quite weird looking with its 4 front wheels !! This makes it look like a mean machine. I guess its to support the mak of 10 tons it can carry !! The telescoping arm is a) extensible and b) capable of moving up and down !! I am not a real fan of green but its good to have another color than the classic yellow *cough cough* Oh look, our Lego employee is looking at me (say �hi� to my friends at Eurobricks). Watch out dude, you are moving some inflatable stuff !! loool Oh boy, its fun to notice that Lego City has not implemented the forbidding of night labour :-D OK guys thats all for the review of this small set !! *yoda*

Come On Frenchie, enter this one ;-) Just a city vehicle hehe !! *yoda*

I will do them tonight and post them tomorrow ;-) Sincerely I cannot wait to build those !! On a side note, they received 3/4 of the Mars Mission sets and the 3 smallest Castle sets (they do look so good !!). Citywise they had the trash can truck and the gas station !! Tomorrow they will receive a lot more ses including the Castle castle and the train station!! *yoda*

3/Details of the beast I shall start by the top of the MTT which reveals the cokpit and driver seat. Easy access through the sliding top and opening of both sidre doors. As you can see there is not much of a cokpit (like always *cough cough* !!) Don

My Padawans, Yes, its time for another review (can you feel the excitment?): the glorious Trade Federation MTT, the biggest SW set of that new instalment (120�). At first, when we all heard that TLC was going to redesign the MTT, I was kind of pissed since that the first version was pure crap !! Fortunatly, TLC made a fantastic set, definitly one of the best looking PT set (and definitly the best ep1/2 set !!). So without further ado...review on. Enjoy !! Before an in depth review of the set, lets have a look at both instruction manuals. The great news is the total absence of DSS yeayyyyy, that is so great !! 1/MFs One of the best �deals� regarding MFs: a whopping 20 droids � 16 regular, 2 pilots and 2 security (+ 20 short guns and 2 long guns) and an amazing Droideka !! Nothing really new regarding the battle droids � except the new droid arm on every droid !! No need for too many pics on them so I�ll just show you the pilot and security + a close up of the new arm. Its really nice to notice that the whole body is blue (pilots) and dark red (security). It looks way better than small printings on a tan body. That droideka is really a thing of beauty !! The design is so much better, its incredible, I mean just check the comparison pic. The old one looks so puny. The size is way better, the design is way slicker and it comprises great parts and colours. 2/Overal pics of the beast Compared to the crappy first version, this MTT is way rounder, slicker and bigger (sorry, I cannot post comparison pics before I hated the old MTT and dismantled the set). Now we need a redesigned AAT to go with it hehe (come on TLC, bring it on !!). The beast is on weels (strait and non turning) instead of those upside down smooth round tiles. The cool thing is all those opening doors do reveal details such as the cokpit (see �3) and all the extras (see %4).
