I really don't know why... No, it' a joke! I have the same feeling with this period, the city dark age of TLC...

This is the 6564 so :-X crappy garbage truck! Oops, you were quicker than me Highlandcattle

A pic review, already! I finally know how many tan 1X4 bricks with holes it has! I don't have any UCS sets, but I know that I want one, so maybe this one because of the price... I will think of it... Nice review

What I like in the motorised Hogwart Express is the train station, with a really nice look! But buying this set just for the station is really expansive!

I voted for the 4554 station. This station is, for me, the symbol of a lego train station, because I see it in so much magazines, and just see it in real one aftrenoon (one of my friend had it when I was a child). This station have a classic look, which remind me of the traditional french station. And it is big, giving it the importance of a real trainstation. However, my second choice is the 4513 grand central station. Yes, I like this modern set, which gives the station a contemporary look. For the firts time (with thos city polls) , a new set has the second position im my opinion, but we can vote just one time, so...

Like I said in the general discution, 2007 will not help me saving money! But it will be so good if TLC has made a good job with those new sets... I can't wait! My city will grow another time, Just hope my garage will be as big as expected in 2009 if TLC continues to product some good city sets!

I can't believe in all those city sets! 8-

Like the 80-90's nostalgic people, I prefer the smiles head. The way that TLC used to make some different heads (pirats, glasses, mustaches) was better than the new faces, even if they bring some diversity. But the fleshi heads make me :-X , I dislike those "real colored skin minifigs". Keeping the :-) heads with additional parts doesn't mean that you can't have some burglar, just look what playmobile done and see that they made some bag guys with good faces!

You've got a modern city (with the new sets). and the train addition gives it a very good touch ( like in all the city I think). It's the firts time I saw a town with all grey roads, and personnaly, I find them too grey, I prefer the grey-green one, even if they are more expensive. The green shield in the middle gives that "touch of green". A good base to make your town bigger!

I'm not a 12V train fan, but your city looks great and so classic, with a really lego spirit. *y*

another good EB choice! And the new sets always the last

It was a funny contest, with a lot of people, showing that this forum is alive, so *y* for all the participants (winner, the team, the organisators and the other)

A new fire station... :-D ! nice found. It si big but not too, so we can dream about a comercial version, just dream...

I think it is your lake of imagination! ;-) It is not the first time that the minifigs can't go to the uper level, just look the new hospital! And how do they do to enter in cars without doors, and... It is that the lego spirit, not preftect but so sweet!

I don't know where they come from. BM, do you have done them yourself or do you have a model?

No no! Like Jipay said, They are some real minifigs :real heads, hats, torsos and all!

Yes it would be nice. (The deap sea bounty is already been by myself ;-) ) This set is small but good, it is a small set that I would like to see more, in diferent themes.

Woh! 8-

Does anybody have the bionicle piece which is used here as an alga and post a pic to show how it looks? I've searched on peeron without result...

The underwater is a actual theme (with aquaraiders) so, Seaman is my favorit!

So much comments since yesterday! Well, after seeing the new pics for some minutes yesterday, this is what I think about: - the fireboat looks like the boats that TLC made in 2000-2002. It have a 4+ look and don't look so exiting. The technics parts propably are a system to put the zodiac in the water... If this boat is a 20euros set like the police version, it will be mine (I will made some boats for the day when TLC will seld a seaport. One silver helmet is a good thing and hope some different heads from the old 2005 firemen. The new aquaraiders look like some divers who have fusioned with aqua alpha team. Not so good for a town add, but it will be worts! - the small subvehicule looks simple and has nerly the design of the smaller aquashark subvehicule. But the colorscheme has more a realistic touch. And it is nice to find some golden pieces (my lego bank will be happy!) - the big shark set have a submarine with an alpha team design, not so goos for a realistic submarine expedition. And this crapy laucher! The building shark looks more terrific than the classic two-pieces-made-one, more in the spirit of the line. I don't like how TLC made the eyes. But maybe it is not a definitiv set that we see. The harpoon post looks cool like the new alga pieces, with a really lego design. - the crab set with the big submarin is the best of the 3 that we can see for an afolcity because the submarin looks more realistic. The big crab looks not so bad (I will think that it will be more bioniclish). And there are some good accessories like the small robot near the skeleton. And I like when TLC put some touches from other themes in a set (when it makes sens of course!). To conclude, those new aquaraiders sets are better than I have imagined. It's sure that there are not some new divers sets, and even if they have an alpha team design, they can be a good addition after some few modifications. And the yellow scheme is a very good thing for that! However, like a 90's nostalgic, I regret to see that the raiders are too much armed and fight so big seacreatures. But it is what the boys want today, so...

yes the firts pics! But I don't knwo what to think about... I will look the pics for a long time this evening and I will tell you what I think tomorow...

It's nice to see so much entries with a lot of diversity! Now just wait and see the winner!

That's exactly what I always felt when browsing the catalog(s). I didn't have many sets, but just imagining if I had them was almost as much fun :-) Me too! I spent hours and hours lookin them, and try to see how the sets were built, and try to learn how for the sets I wanted...
