Christian

Happy Birthday to both of you! Hopefully I will see you at Legoworld, Kim?!

Some times, the sets shown at Toy Fari do change alot. Here is an example: Model shown at Toy Fair Final Model

This is truly sad. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that Denmark has gotten the highest prices, with todays exchange rate. And if that was'nt enough, all of the new sets are listed as "not available".

Yeah, thats one fo the great things about Germany . I even told my boss, that the sets are out in a lot of other countries, which made him quite puzzeled, becuase apparently its TLC who has chosen this release date. He also told me that TLC are threatening with fines if they sell them before this date.

Thanks for this info. Where did you see the pictures? BTW do you think you could try and describe the structures in each set in a little more detail. I know it can be hard to do from memory

Nice review, Kim! I think the new city sets are great, especially the smaller ones, but (un)fortunately there is so many sets coming out this year, that I would rather buy. I find it to be rather starnge that we have the january 2009 sets in the stockroom at the Toysrus where I work, but we are not allowed to sell them before December 29th. Yet they are for sale at so many other places.

Yes that answers my question.

Do you mind if I ask where you got this? Did you have it send from Sweden or did you find it at a store in Denmark? I suppose you had it send from Sweden, but I think its worth asking.

I'm in too.

Sorry to spoil your little fun, but I suppose these are the names?

The two sets that you mention difinetly sounds like exclusives, which there were none of on the website where I found those other sets. BTW I dont think that they are fake. The website where I found them seems rather reliable.

Through http://www.wholesalecentral.com/ I found the set names for presumably the second half of 2009. Apparently some of the descriptiosn are a bit messed up.

[Category: Construction Toys] LEGO 7687 CITY Advent Calendar Make your CITY even better!Expand your town the way you want to!Be a mayor in your own home!257 pieces.

[Category: Construction Toys] LEGO 7642 CITY Garage Make your CITY even better!Expand your town the way you want to!Be a mayor in your own home!953 pieces. [Category: Construction Toys]

I found piece counts and short (kinda messed up) descriptions for some of the new sets: LEGO 8036 Star Wars Separatists Shuttle Awesome figures!Big guns!From The Clone Wars on TV, this thrilling vehicle has everything you need to torment some clones. Can the Jedi stand up to its massive firepower? 257 pieces.

I found some more plausible names today, making me think that the other names are just prototypes. I dont knwo why some of the descriptions are messed up, but anyway here they are: LEGO 7195 Indiana Jones Ambush In Cairo What's Indy up to this time?Help Indy find the treasure before the Germans!Incredible detail!79 pieces.

It says custom, so I doubt that its a new fig, and I also believe that I've seen the headgear before.

Im no doubt coming to this. Its only like an hour with train away from me.

Great find! ...and here it is in an even bigger version along with a pic of the box

Great. The date changes my status from "not coming" to "likely to come". Just need to find a cheap way to get to Güntzburg.

Happy birthday to all three of you!!!

Count me in plz. I really appreciate this, Copmike!

I'm in.

I'll be the first to say that I cant come this year, although this year's event was great. I got my final exams in may... I did have exams last may too, but they were of less importance.

Do you remember the price of the Hoth Base? Did they also have the Twilight and HSD at your Tru? Mine did not.
