My first thought on the new Friends line was that it was very similar to Polly Pocket in both scale and design. I am sure as the real target purchaser of this product is parents of girls between 6 and 12 it will sell very well. On a personal note I asked my daughter if she would like any of the Friends sets and she said no she did not want any however she is excited about the lord of the rings sets coming out next year, I am glad she does not fit the typical marketing stereotype!!

20000 members that is a great number, I can remember when we hit 1000 members that seemed massive. I joined after my dark ages and preferred Eurobricks over Lugnet as that was very American biased. I don't post as much as I used to but I still visit most days to see what is going on. Peter S

Thanks for the great review I was wondering whether to get this now it has been reduced I might have to visit the Lego shop at the weekend

Great review It was good to see the instructions for adding the PF motors included. Although the only reason I bought this set was to get the Linear Actuators.

add me in

I have always had great service from TLC. I once had a faulty part in a set that was no longer produced and they managed to replace it however the best deal i got was a free Darth Vader key ring with one of the replacement packs.

This is a must buy for me I cant wait till it hits the shops

It was an amazing race the best so far this year Monaco is always exciting in the wet. I was really dissapointed when Sutil was shunted out finishes like that mean so much to the smaller teams it can be worth millions in sponsorship

I will be there Monday I will drop in on the brickish display.

Thats a great GBC module I really like the colour scheme Lets hope you get a video camera soon I would like to see some more film of this

Thanks for the Great review Sinner I like the Technic bikes I wonder how it would look if you replaced the gear on the back wheel with a smaller one?

Great review Sinner I bought this set a few weeks ago personally I prefer the alternative model of the flatbed truck.

Thats a great truck I quite like the colour scheme. *y* I would be interested to see how you did the steering it is not clear form the photos? Sorry to hear you broke a gear I have tried to build several models with the XL motor only to find it destroys itself if you get stuck on something the new motors definetly powerful.

I got my Green Grocer set on Friday and it was going great until I realised I had one of the Bag 3's missing and am not able to complete the top floor you can imagine how P*$%%* off I am, I have E-mailed TLC hope to get replacements soon. I have over 40 pieces missing. On the subject of Market street Yes it is not as detailed as Green Grocer it only has half the parts after all but for the cost it is well worth purchasing there are some great techniques used in the build.

~$4000 according to Peeron but I am not sure how this is worked out. I dont really like to thing about it too much *wacko*

That's a great idea it will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Yet another great review from Dunamis *y* Thanks. What really sets this apart from cafe corner is the interior detail I wonder if TLC would consider releasing a interior detail set as an add on for Cafe corner. I'm off to the lego shop this week to pick one up.

Check out The Brickish Association HERE They list all the UK events. I hope this helps

I was in the Lego Shop Milton Keynes today and they have the Green Grocer set on display. I asked the assistant if they had them in stock but he said they could not sell them until the 1st of March. I tried to get him to sell me one early but he said no :-( I would have to come back on Saturday. I will have to wait till next time I am passing. PS it looks really great!!

*y* Great little MOC I like the way you have managed to get it so compact.

If you check out Technibricks Here scroll down to a picture of the full contents of the new PF set. It shows the new shorter universal joints used with the new actuators. I hope this is not too expensive :-(

My converter cables came in the post today I am off to have a look at them now :-D

I would imagine that the new PF trains that have been talked about will hav a controller that will make use of all these functions. I was reading over a Lugnet that someone has managed to use these extra function with a NXT as the controller. TLC have stated that there is more to come from the new Power Function range.
