Actually it isn't really "new" it's just built from the parts of River Chase & Jungle Cutter, as far as i can see it.

I'm sorry but that has already been posted and discussed in the Castle Sets 2008 Thread.

What about Star Wars?

Seems just my computer is crap, maybe i have to get a new graphics card. But it's still weird, i never had problems before with any program that should be compatible with Windows XP.

I do wonder more, what exactly the other themes would look like, animals could be interesting i think, if it is some kind of zoologic or jungle thingy. But i voted for WW anyway, imagine Wild West Set in the FACTORY line! I can see a lot of potential there!

Thanks, but it's weird, cause i actually have Quck time. I even got sure i have the newest version but it still doesn't work.

That would be great! I still wonder why the instructions aren't up yet, though..

Thanks for the review! Do i see a little Indy hint on that map? Oh and btw., the map looks like it actually is printed am i right?

So now i installed the LDD about 20 times already, and it still doesn't work. It always loads fully (i only can see the loadinf display), and then it stays and you can't do anything. I ust use Control & Alt & Del to close it again. Is anybody having troubles with it too, and how do you fix it? I really don't know what's up!

Sorry 'bout the double post, but here's something i MUST tell you. i got my new sets yesterday but unfortunately i wasn't at home so i picked them up at the post office today. i opened the box of 7739, the bags slipped out and....there were TWO bags with the number 3 on it. I first thought oka, maybe it's seperated in 2 bags or something. But when i came to the third building step i recognized i don't need the parts, cause they all were already in the bigger 3-bag...they were EXTRA! Yes you're right, there actually was an EXTRA BAG of pieces in the box. Have you ever seen something like that?! That made my day since there are quite a few of very useful pieces in it! Here's 2 pictures:

Allright, as i expected the new CG Sets arrived at my home yesterday, so i'm gonna do reviews of 2 of the smaller Sets (One of them isn't that small, tho). The other 2 big sets belong to Lord Santos. Warning: There is a SHITLOAD of pictures! And here we go! Set Nr.: 7737 Name: Coast Guard 4WD Number of minifigs: 1 Number of pieces: unknown Release Year: 2008 First of all (surprise surprise..) the Box & Instructions: Front: Back: Instructions: The Minifig (i love that torso): General Overview of the Set (notice the NEW tyres!): The Car alone: The trailer with the neat little Boat: The equiqment holder: The boat alone, and i must say this is designed great, looks really like a little scooter: The trailer, nothing too special here: Summary: I just got that set, but i love it! I really like these new cars, cause they are much more real looking, except maybe of the missing doors, but that can be fixed with a little bit mocing in this case. If you see it, buy it. You won't be disappointed. That's all i can say! We go on with the Coast Guard Truck, which is my absolutely Nr. 1 of the new sets. Let the Pictures speak for themselves! Set Nr.: 7726 Name: Coast Guard Truck & Speedboat Number of minifigs: 2 Number of pieces: unknown Release Year: 2008 As could it be something different, first of all the box & instructions again: Front: Back: We got 2 sets of instructions here, first one for the Boat & equipment thingy, second one for the rest: The minifigs: General overview: The truck & equipment thing alone: A different view of the truck: The first detail i really like at that set, the thing that holds the diving and kinda radar-equipment: The trailer with the boat on it: The trailer alone: ..and the boat alone: Now that is something i think could have been made better, or say, put at least SOMETHING in it, the storage room in the stern of the boat. Though it's got plenty of room and you can put in anything you like: The next detail i love are the motors of the boat, the're really well-designed and you can even move them sideways or pull 'em up if they're not needed: The wench on the trailer to pull the boat on it or load it off to the water: And last but not least, the cockpit of the truck, nothing too special but i really like that the did put the black slope brick screen in it: That was it folks, quite a few pictures, huh? Summary: Just one word: BUY. As i said this is my favourite of the new sets, and if i was i child i think i could play hours and hours with it, as it's got great plaability and isn't really fragile or something. Hope you enjoyed the Review, LEGO City & Coast Guard on!

I have tried several times to click on the "Track your order" link on the account page at Shop @ Home when i ordered new sets, but there always just comes a window which says the link is broken after i click "continue" in the small window. Does anybody else have this issue, too?

i basically think it's okay that way, even if it looks a little bit odd since it goes not together historically. but i think it would also look strange with nazi flags on it that would have got a strange feeling cause TLG wouldn't make it (the nazi flag is tabu here).

I've got a feeling i get my sets tomorrow, so ya better watch this space, cause i'm gonna come up with big review including tons of pics

They are already on the shelfs? That's kinda weird, since there aren't even the instructions online yet

But that picture doesn't show up. There's written "a closer view of the sick bay2 then there's nothing, and then comes the picture of the stern.

Thanks for the review! Though they look a bit strange without any stickers, but i wouldn't put them on too, if i plan to use the parts for mocing. Btw., you forgot to take a picture of the nifty little Control Unit & Eqipment holder that comes with the truck. Hope to receive my sets on monday...

Great man, finall we got pix from someone who ownes them already. S@H did ship mine already on wednesda, but the post didn't bring them toda, meh. Gotta wait till monda...

Cool! Now all i have to do is to wait for the sets to arrive with the post.

I only ordered the boat, the truck and the 4WD. so i can do the 4WD and the truck, and the big set reviews belong to you, if that's alright?

Nobody did an yet, i think. S@H hasn't shipped my order et, so i will receive them earliest next week. I'll do few reviews then.

ah, i already thought that. but it could also be he means the bley handle thingy..that isn't new either, it has been used for example in the new police station, and also in the castle siege (black ones here).

What piece do you mean exactly, Scyzoryk?

Aww, the more i see, the more i want them. That colour scheme just has something about it, love the orange and the little blue bits here and there. can't wait them to arrive!

If ou're repling to m post, i alread planned to do reviews. I kinda love doing reviews at the moment, don't know why. I just ordered the Truck, the Off-Road and the Tower/Boat at S@H and i'm planning to review at least the Off-Road Vehicle when i get it. Maybe the truck too, so you could do the helicopter and the tower/boat. Since shipping usually takes uite a bit of tim from shop at home i doubt i already will receive them this week, but at least there's a hope for it.
