I'll close this while the vote's going on and reopen it after the contest again in case anyone wished to discuss the models further :-)

Just stop using that chat room speek. Now, if you didn't buy any LEGO recently stop posting in this topic. Thanks.

If you guys don't stop this right now you WILL be in a very dark place very soon >:-( S@55: stop using that stupid chat room language (you know, this *stupidphraseswithinasterisks*), this is not a chat room! One more post like that and I'll make your IQ shrink to sub zero! >:-( morris: forget it, it was a joke, and stop using big sized fonts! Don't answer, just accept it, or those were your last posts here! Geez...

Why another thread? Post the link here ;-)

Probably this one? Set 8147 Bullet Run

I guess he wore them...

Hm... nice... lots of bricks for an oil rig... Looks better than I thought with that little Technic that's used... Maybe... maybe it'll find its way into my collection... Thanks for the pics *sweet*

Nope ;-) Yeah, you'd think so ;-) I can't tell from the picture, though, it's all incomplete and the important parts of the sentences are blocked by bricks. What I can make out is a bit more than a standard reply but I can't make out their point of view. Maybe it's a generic reply to blay haters ;-)

Well, now it sure sounds like it... watch your words!

Not much to decipher here... Well, JoJo is a blay-hater (;-)) and the picture title (theysentthemback) suggests that he complained to LEGO Direct about blay parts (probably in a set he bought or something) and sent them the parts to exchange - and they sent them back, with that letter...

I think that's a left-over from the original Pirate ranking system...

:-D :-D :-D Hilarious :-D So, now we know what Snake Plissken's been doing since his escape(s)... I never thought we'd see your vigs in the T&T forum, Athos *y*

25 Euro is quite high since it's listed for 17 on S@H... IMHO it's a decent successor to 4549 even if it comes without any cargo vehicle and just 1 MF. But the front being 10-wide is ridiculously wide for a vehicle, even in the new scale. Getting rid of the two red Technic pins should help that, though, I think. 4549's stacker was 8-wide in the front and was already wide for the "classic" scale, too, but 10 is a bit too much. Especially when you consider that Model Team was 10/12-wide :-| I like the lifting mechanism on this one better, though. For 17 Euro I might consider buying it if I can't get my hand on a 4549 ;-) Thanks for the review and the pics *sweet*

While your review is funny and has good pics (no surprise here ;-)) I still don't like the "station" - because IMHO it's just a platform. I had a gut feeling back in November/December that TLC would give us a new train station this year since 4513 is 3 years in the past, but this is a disappointment. I expected something more like a(n even more) modernized 4513 to accompany the airport or a revamped 4554. This is just a bigger platform that needs at least 4 copies and quite a few pieces (or better yet a 4554) from your own collection to make something decent. Still, the new City line hasn't shown that many non-police-or-fire sets in a long time. Good to see *y*

Alright, time to comment on the set: For someone just starting with City it's a terrific set. The ship looks just like a freighter should, the crane has the typical harbor look, and the fisherman and the little office add nice details. I just don't like the road pieces they used for the pier. It doesn't look like a cargo pier that has to be able to support lots of containers and heavy trucks. It looks more like some sort of "pontoon". I liked the old bases with 6541 and 6542 better. Talking about heavy cargo, the truck is just too "cute". That's not what a cargo hauler looks like. In a cargo harbor I expect to see semis. 1552 is even a 6-wide model that would fit this harbor. There's also something about the structure in the back of the crane house that I don't like compared to the crane in 6541, can't put my finger on it... looks... too "constructed" somehow... And after people already complained with 10170 we get new containers again. Being 6-wide now they can at least be considered something completely new and not just inconsistently redesigned. Still, a great new set to the revamped City line. *y* Great review yoda, always good to see some decent set photography *sweet*

OK, massing up a huge MF collection kinda makes sense to me. 15k is impressive. I understand when people say they have a couple of certain sets they really like and keep one on display, one MISB and maybe another one to sell to invest in other sets or - if it's a train/city set or the like - to use in a layout. But why do you buy 63 copies of any set if you "just" store them? I'm really curious as to what your goal is...

You know, looking at the sets arranged like that, it's quite a nice collection. Haven't seen that a varied and colorful picture of LEGO City sets in a long time...

You're makin' me cry :'-) X-D

Post your entries here!

Aw, man, one of my favorites. Where and how much? *sing* X-D

Nope, it's Police time. The last station is from 2005, that would make 3 years next year. We might see more civilian sets but there will be a Police station, 3 years is just too long without a new Police station...

Oh, an honorable mod of lugnet.at has found his way to our sacred halls *y* And brought his wife along - what I haven't succeeded in yet ;-) Seawas ihr zwa und willkommen bei oirobriggs ;-)

Germany and UK both are in the EU. There is no customs within the EU.

I just tried to order the airport and have it shipped to London. It's possible, just costs 6 Euro shipping.
