The Cobra

Prices for the upcoming sets from an Italian online store: 8077 Quartier generale mobile (Mobile HQ) = 49.99 8076 Il re scorpione (The scorpion king ?!?!?!?!?) = 19.99 8078 Il portale di Atlantis (Atlantis' gate) = 89.99

edit: I've added set names. An Italian online store has prices for the upcoming castle line: 7953 = 2.99 Jester impulse / Giullare 7955 = 2.99 Wizard impulse / Mago 7950 = 6.99 Knights Showdown / Resa dei conti 7949 = 9.99 Prison Carriage Rescue / L'inseguimento della carrozza 7948 = 14.99 Outpost Attack / Attacco all avamposto 7947 = 49.99 Prison Tower Rescue / La torre prigione 7946 = 102.99 King's Castle / Il castello del re 7566 actually is the Farmer impulse set. Great to have 3 cheap sets, like in the 2007 line!

A really nice video, much better than Discovery Channel's "How it's made" about a Canadian brand.

An Italian online lists 3851 Atlantis amongs board games. No picture, but it's listed as available

Since we're talking Police, I'm still waiting for the bike to come out in Italy with blue stickers. In 2008 and 2009, we only had the old black/green stickers version. And it was kind of rare too (much rarer than the aforementioned car).

I already liked this set, your review makes me like it even more. I hope this year a local shopping mall will sell these fold-outs for 10 Euros instead of 15, then I will surely buy it.

I only got one lego set, but it was i really wanted: 7639 Camper.

I say: Above average, and better than the actual maxi set.

That's my opinion too. This set is really Below average, close to Poor.

It wouldn't be a surprise if it was gone, it's a 2007 set and there are now 3 Creator houses available. Still, I haven't seen a 4956 around for a while and then a local shopping mall had a few in early December.

Ok, Kiddwinks price for Impulse sets is 40 Rands (on sale, 35 Rands). Their price for "Minifigures" is 21 Rands. Having those Ltd.Ed. figs for half the price of an Impulse sets would be just great.

Same for Italy (and possibly Europe). One half of sale items have been there for one day (?) and they're already gone.

So, Christmas was two years days ago and AC content is no longer a surprise. Wanna join the topic? As for me (and I mentioned it in WhiteFang's review), I now own the 2009 set and kind of like it, but still think it's the worst one.

No problem at all, I just wanted to understand.

This is probably a known problem, but it keeps coming back This piece is a totally different (acid greener) yellow compared to other (oranger) yellow pieces. It happened in last year's Police Mobile Command Center and it's happening again in the City Advent Calendar.

Thanks for this outstanding review! I'm waiting for these games to hit Italy over the next few months. But I do not exactly understand what you're saying here:

I ended up owning one of these, which I wanted to resell but will actually keep. And I'll be placing extra 1x1 rounds as Xmas tree decorations. I still think it's under par, but not that awful (plus, I got it for 25% off). It's probably the most Advent-focused (or, at least, winter-focused) amongst Lego minifigs calendar. "Funny" how this set has a printed checkered flag and the Ferrari set had a neutral flag plus stickers.

Most of the times, I'm taking pictures of the set I'm building (because of my reviewing activity). So: yes: I sometimes forget a piece here or there (and then I need to unbuild and re-take pics, or just hope no one finds out).

I rate it "Above average". I'm not totally happy with the design, yet Ice planet was too short-lived and had a terrific color scheme.

Judging from these tiny grainy preliminary pics, I will surely buy the motorbikes set. And no other sets in this theme.

Another house I'd love to own. I only rate it "above average" instead of "Outstanding" because it's a bit cozy and lacks windows in the rear (I have to find out what the official price will be, 60 USD would be far too much). Great alternate models. Thanks for the review!

I hope I will end up liking Kingdoms sets as much as I don't like box graphics!

Here's the largest Atlantis set I am going to buy; that should tell you how much I like this theme so far. Set is "above average", to me. And thanks for the review!

Isn't 130 euros for a MISB 6035 a little too much?

That means he added some new images. Let's just wait a bit.
